Hexagon’s Onboard Controllers Come to the Irish Market
Furlong Equipment Services are delighted to launch the Hexagon Agriculture range of Onboard Controllers onto the Irish market.
The Hexagon Onboard Controllers combine a unit of software, sensors and actuators to monitor and automate crop input and related operations.

Other functions include;
- Guidance by arrows and virtual guide
- Seed control
- Fertilisation control to regulate and automate fertiliser application
- Planting monitor system that controls and adjusts the quantity of seeds applied to soil
- Planting control with a simple touch of the screen, where the operator can open and close the planter clutches automatically or disconnect hydraulic motors that activate the lines
- Detailed monitoring of machines and fleets that integrate with the information management system
- Subsoiling depth monitoring system in soil preparation
- Bait monitor that monitors the activities of formicidal bait and other inputs
- Odometer system that controls the stretch of the vinasse hoses
