Farming is about working smart, not just hard. Every drop of fuel, every minute, and every bit of soil counts more than ever. That's why we've made the FJD AT2 Auto Steer System even better—it's your perfect partner for precision farming. This new AT2 has amazing upgrades to its hardware and software. It's built to completely change your farming efficiency. Let's see what's new and improved in this new version!
Hardware Upgrades
We've made big improvements to the hardware. The control terminal has been greatly upgraded, and we also focused on making it work seamlessly with other external tools and devices. This all leads to a much better overall performance.Faster & Smoother Performance
The upgraded terminal now has double the memory (4GB RAM + 8GB ROM). This means apps load quicker, pages scroll smoothly, and everything works faster during busy fieldwork. You no longer experience frustrating delays while you're trying to get the complicate job done.
Stronger Connections, Anywhere
The new Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module connects to up to 10 devices at once (like sensors or output devices) and even acts as a Wi-Fi hotspot. Plus, the upgraded 4G module supports a broader frequency band, keeping you online in remote fields. Reliable connectivity means fewer signal connections and more productivity.Built to Adapt
A next-gen chip boosts communication reliability, so your data stays safe and commands never drop. The 18-pin vice cable port (upgraded from 12-pin) supports more external integration, like PWM-controlled devices, making it easier to hook up plows, seeders, or sprayers. It's built tough for the demands of daily farm life.Improved Operation Convenience
Installing the SIM card is now simpler and more secure, so you spend less time fiddling with tiny parts. The terminal also supports handy accessories like a wired camera (with night vision and 1080P clarity) for working in low-light conditions or nighttime, and a Wi-Fi OBD tool to monitor equipment health, diagnose issues, and export telemetry data for analysis.Smarter Acre Tracking
The new lift sensor ensures you only count acres when your implement is actually working. It starts calculating when the machine goes down to work, so raised tools (like during turns) don't skew your numbers.Easy Implement Control with ISOBUS
The AT2 can connect with FJD ISOBUS technology, which is officially approved by the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF). With the integration of ISOBUS, you can precisely and efficiently control multiple farm tools from just the AT2 terminal. So far, FJD ISOBUS technology has been rigorously tested to work with 65 different implement models from 38 brands, and it's compatible with over 1000 models in total.Flexible Steering Wheel Options
This upgrade offers two steering wheel options. You can stick with the classic plastic steering wheel if you like how it feels. Or, you can choose the leather steering wheel, the same one our flagship AT2 Max model has. This one gives you a much more comfortable grip.Modular Packaging
The system now ships in modular parts, each with its own packaging and certifications, making it easier to customize for different needs. You can mix and match what works for your operation, without paying for features you don't need. It's simple, smart, and ready to grow with you.
Software Improvements
In addition to the hardware performance boost, we've also made a lot of optimizations in the software, so you can get a better experience in daily farming activities.NMEA Positioning Info Output
The AT2 adds tilt compensation in the NMEA output. It shows you accurately where your tool is moving based on your tool info and the ground conditions. This fixes errors caused by uneven land, giving you more exact location data for tractor driving. This is super important for precise farming. So, whether your fields are flat or hilly, you can trust the AT2 to give you the best results, even on tough farmlands.
Quick Setup for Any Tractor
The AT2 saves time by letting you quickly load settings for over 200 tractor brands and 2,000 models. You just pick your vehicle from the list, reducing your need to manually type in details. You can still tweak settings if needed, but most farmers will be ready to go in seconds. In the upcoming feature, if the system notices your steering is off by more than 2cm in a straight line, it will automatically fix the settings to get you back on course.
Never Lose Signal with ALS Tech
When ALS is active and RTK signal fails, the AT2 will automatically switch to PPP mode to keep you navigating for up to 20 minutes. Once the RTK signal comes back, the system will automatically switch back to RTK. Throughout all of this, you'll never be stuck without navigation, keeping your positioning accurate within 2cm.Customized Combination Line
The system automatically adjusts your path to fit field boundaries with different line types or custom combinations (straight lines and curves), maximizing the area you can plant or spray. It even handles basic U-turns and skipped rows during auto-steering, so you can focus on driving without constant manual corrections.Virtual Machine Control (Coming Soon)
This feature helps you reduce overlap when using non-ISOBUS implements. It shows you when each section of your implement should be on or off, so you know exactly when to switch them manually. While this can be done automatically for ISOBUS-ready equipment, it's impossible for non-ISOBUS equipment as they can't be controlled directly by other systems. With virtual machine control, you are prompted to control each section manually, helping you avoid spraying the same spot twice.The upgraded AT2 not only increases your farming efficiency but also helps you getquicker ROI. By eliminating overlaps, saving fuel, and maximizing uptime, this system pays for itself faster in just one season!
