Hemisphere GPS Announces the New Integrated Outback S3 and Outback AutoMate

Outback AutoMate is an automatic section control product that works directly with all Outback Guidance products and delivers one of the industry's quickest returns on investment. This new software release improves efficiency by allowing users to perform various AutoMate tasks through the familiar S3 interface. After configuring AutoMate from within the S3, users can begin a basic spray or planting job and create field boundaries and no spray/plant zones. Once users create no-spray/plant zones in the S3, AutoMate turns off implement sections that enter these zones. To ensure complete coverage without overlap, AutoMate turns sections on or off as they leave or enter previously applied areas. For complete control, users can generate both a field boundary and up to eight no-spray/plant zones for a job.

The software update is really targeted at enhancing our customer's experience with the Outback S3 and Outback AutoMate systems, says Jeff Farrar, Director of Marketing, Agriculture, for Hemisphere GPS. We have made it easier, faster, and more affordable for Outback S3 owners to pair their guidance system with Outback AutoMate.
