Today’s farmers are challenged with not only rising production demands, increased costs, and skilled labour shortages, but also increasingly complex operations to manage. Case IH understands that farmers need seamless, easy-to-use technology to help make their lives easier – and is reducing the hassle of managing multiple technology subscriptions and delivering interoperable tech solutions to meet this need.

Case IH believes precision tech must be rooted in providing actionable data and impactful solutions that make farming easier, more efficient and profitable. That’s why Case IH is launching a series of technology initiatives that put the farmer user-experience at the forefront. The all-new FieldOps™ mobile and web application redefines the way farmers connect, view and manage their operations with an expanded API integration. Lastly, Case IH is announcing Connectivity Included, which eliminates subscriptions on selected new machines, and simplifies the process of customizing technology needs.

Case IH FieldOps officially live in App stores

The all-new Case IH FieldOps web and mobile app is available now for download in the App Store and Google Play Store.

FieldOps seamlessly connects and integrates agronomic insights and machine performance data, providing farmers with a comprehensive, real-time* overview of their operations, no matter the brand makeup of their fleet. Redesigned with special attention to streamlining the user experience, FieldOps makes it easy to access agronomic and machine data from anywhere.

“Launching FieldOps gave us the opportunity to fulfill the three main needs farmers have with connectivity and precision tech: interoperability, ease of use, and real-time data transfer,” said Marco Lombardi, Head of Case IH and STEYR brands EMEA. 

Key features available with Case IH FieldOps:

  • Remote Display View allows farmers to see all parts of the in-cab screen: operators can be guided from a distance and achieve minimum downtime and maximum productivity through this quick and targeted assistance.
  • Continuously updated machine location for real-time* updates and directions.
  • Farmers can customize their view based on what’s important to them: set notifications, alarms and adjust settings for each machine, create machine parameter favourites by machine or machine type.
  • Enable dark or light mode for preferred user experience regardless of time of day.
  • Integrates with CNH brands and third parties.

FieldOps offers a consistent, user-friendly interface across mobile devices and web browsers, ensuring ease of use for farmers on the go. FieldOps is purposefully designed to incorporate all Case IH data and information into one platform for easy access with one log-in. 

Farmers can monitor crop health, growth stages, and field conditions to make informed agronomic decisions. Furthermore, FieldOps integrates with Case IH equipment and third-party systems to streamline data collection and analysis, providing a holistic view of farm operations, no matter the fleet makeup. Farmers can track machinery usage, fuel consumption, and performance with continuous updates, ensuring optimal operational efficiency, labour management and maintenance scheduling.

Case IH expands API partnerships to remove data integration barriers

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, Case IH recognizes how critical it is for farmers to have seamless integration and access to their various data platforms. Case IH is expanding its API partnerships, which globally totals more than 40 as of June 2024. This gives Case IH customers easier access to their agronomic and operational data, eliminates hurdles navigating within digital platforms, and ultimately, increases farmer productivity.

Introducing Case IH’s all-new Connectivity Included feature

In addition to launching Case IH FieldOps, Case IH is proud to introduce Connectivity Included. This groundbreaking initiative removes subscription fees from Case IH technology for qualifying machines built and purchased after October 1st, 2024**. With Connectivity Included, farmers can unlock the full potential of their Case IH equipment without ongoing subscription costs, providing unprecedented value and peace of mind.

Customers who wish to activate the Connectivity Included feature on existing machines with compatible telematic modems and a Case IH FieldOps account (previously AFS Connect) will be able to do so for a one-time fee by contacting their dealer. 

“Connectivity Included represents our commitment to supporting farmers throughout the lifecycle of their equipment,” added Marco Lombardi. “By simplifying subscription management and providing continuous access to our technology, farmers can unlock the benefits of the tech now, and in the resale process.”

With Connectivity Included, operators gain access to the following:

  • Agronomic data: Leverage agronomic insights to enhance overall yield potential, optimize crop management practices, and maximize profits.
