The cloud-based DataConnect system that enables the exchange of machinery data between Claas, 365FarmNet and John Deere is now commercially available.
Allowing users to view all of their mixed-brand fleet information within the single data platform of their choice, the real-time data exchange allows a live overview of the whole machinery fleet, and DataConnect works without any additional hardware and software components.

With this new approach, customers can view five different machinery data sets for their fleet: current machine location; historical machine location; fuel tank level; status of the machine in the field and machine speed.
Customers can decide which company’s digital platform they prefer to use, to display all the data. As soon as they are connected, other manufacturers’ machines appear automatically.
