The AgX Platform is a comprehensive set of data standards that solve the majority of data communication problems facing agriculture. Growers, and the service providers that work for growers, use many different types of hardware and software to collect a wide variety of data and need a way to seamlessly share information from the cab to the office in order to simplify reporting requirements and ease data analysis. The AgX Platform makes this a reality.
The AgX Platform is a structured system of data comprised of a set of operations, attributes, and the ever-expanding reference database that fulfills those categories. Users select items from a picklist when recording field information which makes record keeping as simple as possible.
Before the Agx Platform was developed, people had to manually type in the field data they recorded. Many misspellings or incomplete records resulted which caused problems when these records were sent to another device or user. The receiver had to translate the information in order to use it in a useful way.
But now, with the AgX Platform, everyone records the same data in the same way with no need for translation.
SST Software's SyncNow service is only possible due to the efficiencies of the AgX Platform. Any two or more SST Summit users can share their datasets with the click of the mouse.
In the near future, SST Summit users will be able to share data with Raven Industries' Viper Pro and Envizio Pro users in the same manner. Data such as variable rate recommendations will flow into the Viper and the resulting as-applied data will efficiently flow back into Summit.
In July 2009, SST Software and Raven Industries announced a strategic alliance to integrate the AgX Platform into Raven's Viper Pro and Envizio Pro field computers.
Also in July 2009, The Greenbook Group and SST Software reached an agreement whereby Greenbook's chemical database will be integrated into the AgX Platform.
