Trimble Autopilot - Automated Steering System for Agricultural Vehicles
The Trimble Autopilot automated steering system is designed to enhance precision in agricultural operations by maintaining a vehicle's trajectory, regardless of terrain or field pattern. It integrates seamlessly into the vehicle's hydraulics and is compatible with both guidance-ready and non-guidance-ready vehicles. The system ensures one-inch repeatability when used with Trimble's positioning services, facilitating high accuracy in field operations. It features T3 terrain compensation technology, which optimizes the vehicle’s positioning by accounting for terrain irregularities, and includes NextSwath, OnSwath, FreeForm, and Square Headlands technologies to guide vehicles efficiently through varying field conditions. These features contribute to reduced operator fatigue and enhanced safety by automating steering, allowing operators to concentrate on core tasks. With compatibility for speeds up to 30 mph, the system can be coupled with TrueGuide or TrueTracker for further precision, making it a versatile tool in modern precision farming.
Trimble’s Autopilot™ automated steering system keeps your vehicle – including tractors, combines, sprayers and more – on the correct path, no matter the field pattern or terrain type, so you can focus on the task at hand.
Trimble’s lineup of automated and assisted steering systems is designed for the work you do. Here are a few of the benefits the Autopilot automated steering system brings to farmers around the world.
Consistent precision
When used with a compatible Trimble positioning service, the Autopilot automated steering system automatically steers your vehicle within one-inch repeatability.
Clutter-free installation
The Autopilot automated steering system installs directly into your equipment’s hydraulic system and is flexible enough to install on most guidance-ready and non-guidance-ready vehicles.
Trimble’s steering systems have been engineered to help you get to work quickly, delivering accuracy and precision while also reducing operator fatigue.
T3 terrain compensation
T3™ sensors calculate the actual position of the vehicle to help minimize skips and overlaps in areas with rolling terrain, slopes and rough ground.
NextSwath
NextSwath™ 2 end-of-row turn technology automatically guides the vehicle along the best possible path for turning around and approaching the next crop row or swath.
OnSwath
OnSwath™ advanced line acquisition settings helps users customize line acquisition preferences to the vehicle and field operation.
FreeForm
FreeForm™ guidance patterns give users the ability to adapt vehicle guidance behavior to the unique contours of the field from a single recorded pass.
Square Headlands
Square Headlands creates auto‑guidance lines that extend all the way to a field boundary, allowing precision work to completely cover sharp corners and small plots
