John Deere JDLink™ Precision Ag Technology

As a farm manager, you can’t be everywhere at once. But with JDLink™ hardware and JDLink connectivity, you can easily pay attention to things that worry or cost you most—no matter where you are. JDLink connections allow machine and field data to flow automatically to the John Deere Operations Center, making it visible and useful to you and your crew. With JDLink, you are always connected to the work in progress and can make timely adjustments to keep things moving, whether you are tilling, planting, applying, or harvesting.

Don’t just run – Run smarter and run connected

Nearly 20 years ago, John Deere producers began guiding equipment with global positioning systems (GPS). Connecting machines to this technology empowered them to work with greater precision, efficiency, and ease. This connectivity quickly became the way farms operate. Now, it’s a given.​ 

​

Today, thanks to relentless innovation and advancing technologies, JDLink connectivity opens the way to improve performance in virtually every aspect of your farm operation. The more machines you connect, the more you can achieve—getting more done with less, adding profits, and raising productivity.​

Turning on connectivity means turning up results

You operate it. Your dealer supports you. John Deere builds and improves it. 

 

It’s hard to imagine running any business without connectivity. By now, even the most reluctant producer has turned on some level of connectivity to simplify, streamline, or safeguard important aspects of their business:

• You’ve turned on email and web access to connect with suppliers and customers.
• You’ve turned on text messaging to connect with your crew.
• You’ve turned on file sharing to exchange materials with your advisors.
• You’ve turned on online banking to connect with your assets.

As your fleet grows, it becomes harder to manage machine performance and utilization. Operation Center tools make sure you are getting the most from your investment.

• Check machine location
• See location history (in Operations Center)
• View and report on historical performance and utilization
• Compare machine performance across your fleet

Maintaining your equipment is easy with Maintenance in John Deere Operations Center web.

• View current and past due maintenance with Maintenance in Operations Center web or in JDLink Mobile
• Use factory plans or create a custom plan for each machine
• View parts required for each interval
• Link to John Deere Parts to order parts

JDLink™ hardware and connectivity makes sharing with partners simple. In John Deere Operations Center, growers can establish a sharing relationship      with trusted advisors and partners (John Deere dealers, agronomists, etc.) and electronically share a view of their machine and field data with whomever they choose. They have control and transparency over with whom data is shared and what data is shared. With the right trusted advisors and partners, support for your equipment and farming operations when it matters most is always a few clicks away.

Partnering with the John Deere dealer and sharing machine performance data allows for Connected Customer Support. Dealers can watch for critical alerts that could prevent a failure before it happens. Dealers can remotely diagnose issues without leaving their shop, and then dispatch the closest service vehicle and get the parts you need. With these features, downtime and repair costs can be reduced.

Wireless Data Transfer (WDT) is another way JDLink hardware and connectivity make sharing data simple and efficient. With JDLink compatible hardware, there is no need to manually transfer farm data files with USB drives. With WDT, remotely send files between Operations Center and connected machines. Even a partnered agronomist can send farm data files with WDT, if given the appropriate permission. Spend less time, make fewer mistakes, and don’t lose USB drives with WDT.

There are many connected software companies (CSC) that provide additional tools that add to the value of JDLink and Operations Center. They cover many categories such as aerial imagery, weather, profitability, prescription writers, to name a few. Many of these CSCs can send data back into Operations Center accounts wirelessly, which makes the experience even more efficient. Growers have transparency and control of their data being shared with CSCs through Operations Center. For more information on CSCs, go to https://Connections.Deere.com.
