Farm Tractor GPS Signal Testing

Position Tracking
• Farm Tractor
– Trip count (From start FFB evacuation until unloading at loading ramp,
stamping point or at mill)
– No of grab per Trip (Use button to count)
– No of bunch per trip (eBCC)
– Movement concentration summary
• FFB Checker
– eBCC
– Movement check
• Security
– Movement check
– Emergency photos
• Contractor
– Start work clocking & position record
– End work timing
– Rest time record
– Distance work record
 Troubleshooting – Satellite Signal Strength

Dilution of Precision, value

below 6 is good enough
Troubleshooting – GSM Signal Strength

GSM Signal chart – to concentrate on data

capturing at 0 signal area only
 Trip Count Proposal
• Productivity Trip record
– To estimate numbers of bunches evacuated –
system to record numbers of grabbing done, and
location of grabbing activities carried out
– To confirm a trip, counter to detect action of
lifting of trailer
 Contractor Monitoring Proposal
• For contractor movement record
– Required contractor to login to the apps daily
before they start work
– Total movement time & idling time to indicate
their working hour & rest hour
– Total movement distance to use as reference of
total distance of work done
