Agtonomy, an ag-tech software start-up, has been working with Fixposition to integrate Fixposition’s leading Vision Fusion Technology to provide an element of its precise global positioning solution in its TeleFarmer™ solution.
Agtonomy’s TeleFarmer™ solution is comprised of innovative software, a suite of apps, and an electric vehicle (EV) reference tractor. By utilizing Fixposition as one of its localization sensors, Agtonomy is able to achieve even more reliable and more efficient performance in how it knows the position of the ag vehicles it controls. In partnership, both companies will be working closely together to further enhance value-adding solutions in ag-tech and positioning.

They provide a sustainable and versatile autonomous platform for agriculture addressing the global need for more efficient food production.
