Industrial Drying terminals and rugged computing solutions for industrial vehicles

Agricultural Auto-Steering Solutions

Agricultural Auto-Steering Solutions

Industrial Drying rugged vehicle terminals for tractors, seeders, sprayers, and harvesters, supporting precise navigation and efficient field operations.

Why Choose PDS for Agricultural Auto-Steering?

Straight-Line Expertise

With 15 years of vehicle navigation experience, PDS understands how guidance-line drift affects field operations. Our terminals keep rows straight, minimize overlap, and improve operator confidence.

RTK-Ready Auto-Steering Integration

Centimeter-level positioning, low-latency GNSS, and CAN output enable immediate steering correction when tractors drift, delivering pass-to-pass accuracy down to ±2.5 cm.

Operational Efficiency

Improve planting and harvesting accuracy while reducing overlap, fuel consumption, and manual steering workload.

Built for Tough Farm Conditions

IP66-rated, fanless, -20°C to 70°C operation, and ISO 16750-3 vibration-tested for dust, rain, and long field shifts.

Real-Time Visual Guidance

High-brightness IPS displays with optical bonding keep guidance lines visible in sunlight, while multi-screen and 4-channel camera support combine navigation, implement data, and rear-view safety.

Global OEM/ODM Expertise

PDS products are deployed across Europe, Japan, South America, and beyond, with end-to-end OEM/ODM support from concept design to mass production.

Proven in the Field — Real Results, Real Scale

Russia — 500+ T10 Units for Large-Scale Grain Farming

A major agricultural holding in Russia's Black Earth region deployed over 500 T10 tablets across their tractor fleet for spring sowing operations . The RTK auto-steering system reduced overlap from 15% to under 3%, saving an estimated 8% on seed and fertilizer costs across 200,000+ hectares . Operators reported significantly less fatigue during 16-hour planting shifts, and the IP66-rated T10 withstood the region's notorious dust storms and spring frosts without a single failure .

Spain — Olive Grove Precision with T10 Terminals

A cooperative of olive growers in Andalusia adopted PDS T10 tablets for auto-steering on their tractors navigating narrow grove rows . The RTK guidance system, combined with the 10-inch sunlight-readable display, allowed operators to maintain ±2 .5cm accuracy while maneuvering between trees — preventing damage to trunks and reducing manual steering corrections by 70%. The cooperative has since expanded the deployment to 200+ units across their member farms .

Features That Keep You on Track

IconFeatureAuto-Steering Specific Description
RTK-Grade PositioningCentimeter-level accuracy holds the line pass after pass, reducing wavy rows and missed sections.
Low-Latency Steering ResponseHigh-update-rate GNSS and optimized CAN output help the steering system correct as soon as the tractor drifts.
Guidance Pattern FlexibilitySupports straight A-B lines, curved contours, and headland turns for different field patterns.
Multiple Correction SourcesSupports NTRIP, radio base stations, and satellite L-band correction methods for regional deployment flexibility.
Implement MonitoringUp to 4 cameras monitor planters, seeders, or sprayer booms to detect blockages before they affect yield.
Dual CAN with SocketCANConnect steering controllers, tractor ECUs, and ISOBUS implements on separate CAN networks without signal conflicts.
Sunlight-Readable Display750+ cd/m² brightness with anti-glare treatment keeps guidance lines visible in direct sunlight.
Easy Retrofit ConnectivityStandard CAN and power harnesses connect to most steering controllers without custom wiring.
