Slingshot RTK From Raven Industries

Slingshot RTK, Slingshot online and Raven hardware for the system were introduced earlier this year by Raven Industries. The company says Slingshot delivers — and surpasses — the main promise of precision agriculture: better productivity, greater efficiency, less waste, lower cost, greater certainty and better information through 21st Century technology. Several features make the Slingshot system radically different, the company says.

Slingshot RTK

The Slingshot Field Hub is designed to work with all major cell phone networks in North America and is built to industrial grade standards — tough enough to handle pretty much any conditions you run it through. With an annual online subscription, the hub lets you tap Slingshot’s advanced RTK correction signals — featuring repeatable accuracy across a territory of more than 2 million acres through a single data source.

The hub also serves up high-speed Internet on your field computers, which opens all kinds of new services, security and power you just won’t find anywhere else. The Field Hub even works with traditional CORS network signals.

Slingshot RTK system delivers:

• Repeatable accuracy over 30 miles or more with a single correction source

• Over 2 million acres covered with a single correction source

• Zero line-of-sight signal limitation

• Real-time high-speed Internet access in the field

• Connectivity through all mobile telephone networks in North America

• CORS network compatibility

• The ability to instantly manage vehicles, field computers and data from anywhere on the planet with an Internet connection

• The ability to remotely manage user profiles and settings without ever getting in the cab

• Live, remote Slingshot tech support without ever leaving the cab.

Slingshot Online

No matter how remote the job, Slingshot keeps vehicle operators connected to the rest of the world via high-speed Internet. That means all kinds of control, power and certainty in near real time via the Web — an industry first. Store all your field and application data in a secure database you can access any time, anywhere with a simple web browser. Observe your fleet and manage operations with any laptop, desktop or mobile computer in any county, any town, any time zone in the world. If you’ve got an Internet connection, you’ve got control.

With your data online in a secure Slingshot account (that can update in near-real-time), you can track vehicle locations, make on-the-fly changes to work orders like prescription maps, and monitor, collect and analyze data from all your assets at the place and time that works for you.

You can even look back at maps and records of work performed throughout the season, one year to the next. Best of all, Slingshot Online connects operators to Slingshot’s support team, based right here in North America, without ever leaving the cab.

Slingshot also lets you remotely control profiles and settings across your entire fleet of hardware — without ever climbing in the cab. Slingshot RTK is about much more than delivering correction signals.
