SINGAPORE, February 26, 2025 — FJDynamics, the leading provider of precision agriculture solutions, officially launches its new FJD AG1 Guidance System on the global market today. Featuring five modular solutions from basic steering guidance to advanced ISOBUS implement control, the new AG1 offers beginner-friendly and cost-effective options for farmers to start smart farming quickly. This launch marks a breakthrough in the company's agriculture portfolio.
"Farmers want to use smart tools, but complexity can be a barrier. That's why we redesigned the original AG1 system and added five modular solutions to make it easier for them to start," said Phoenix Zhao, Product Lead of FJD Precision Agriculture. "What we're doing for the AG1 is about democratizing precision ag tech. Whether farmers are running 50 acres or 5,000, the new AG1 lets them build their ideal toolkit without requiring skill levels. They choose what fits their budget today, then scale up to more advanced combo as profits grow."
AG1 Standard: First Step into Smart Farming
The AG1 Standard is a starting point solution perfect for farmers who have never used smart farming devices before. The entire setup requires a 15-minute wireless connection with a GNSS receiver and terminal display through Wi-Fi, greatly lowering the barriers for farmers to start their precision agriculture journey.Leveraging satellite signals from RTK, PPP, and SBAS, the AG1 Standard offers autonomous positioning accuracy of up to 2.5cm. It also delivers free sub-meter navigation accuracy with built-in algorithms even in signal-challenging areas.
With support for guidance lines like straight, curved, or complicated ones, the system can easily handle slopes and diagonal plowing. It is especially suitable for small farming plots, terraced landscapes, and rugged hilly terrains, where the use of autosteering systems may not be practical.
AG1 ISOBUS Kit: Go Further with Implement Control
The AG1 ISOBUS Kit is a cost-effective solution for farmers seeking to reap the benefits of ISOBUS technology without investing in expensive original ISOBUS equipment displays. Certified by AEF, this kit features a built-in wireless ISOBUS module that is fully compatible with any ISOBUS implements available on the market.By supporting ISOBUS functionalities of UT, TC-SC, and AUX-N, the AG1 ISOBUS Kit allows farmers to boost productivity when they are engaged in planting, fertilizing, spraying, or harvesting. This helps them use ISOBUS functionalities and manage ISOBUS implements at a super low cost.
AG1 VCU Kit: Cost-Effective Implement Retrofitting
The AG1 VCU Kit is designed to seamlessly retrofit a non-ISOBUS sprayer to work under the ISOBUS framework. This solution enables farmers to maximize the utility of their old sprayer without buying a new one. Once retrofitted, the sprayer works perfectly with the ISOBUS mechanism, achieving advanced features such as automatic control and precision task execution for variable rate applications.The AG1 VCU Kit currently works with sprayers. But FJDynamics is already developing upgrades to make it compatible with other machines like fertilizer spreaders, seeders, and planters. This will allow farmers to use the same advanced control system with a wider range of equipment.
Upgraded Solution: New Taste with Autosteering
Beyond the utility of the above three solutions, FJDynamics further supports autosteering control through light-duty technology upgrades, helping farmers save up to 30% on their investment in advanced navigation kits. This allows farmers to get their first taste of autosteering at a more affordable price when they want more automation in their steering.Featuring the scheme of "one system, multiple purposes", this upgraded solution features autonomous navigation for precise tractor autosteering at a speed range of 0.1–26 km/h. It also supports U-turn and ISOBUS implement control, covering over 95% of farming operation needs.
On-Board Diagnostic System: More Guidance for Higher Efficiency
The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system is a modular component that facilitates machinery diagnosis and efficient data management. This modular system enables real-time monitoring of a tractor's performance, offering data insights into key parameters such as fuel consumption, engine speed, and engine temperature.OBD can detect abnormal data patterns and trigger early warnings to alert potential issues. This helps farmers reduce the likelihood of costly breakdowns and prevent prolonged equipment downtime. In addition, it can be integrated seamlessly with the company's Farm Management System (FMS), where farmers can easily access all the operational data for production optimization and subsidy applications.
"With five modular solutions for flexible selection, the new AG1 allows our farmers to quickly transition to smart farming technology at a super competitive price," said Zhao. "At FJDynamics, we believe technology should be affordable and accessible for everyone. That's the motivation driving us to develop more smart innovations for our users."
