Project fit & buying priorities
Machinery OEMs, guidance and automation integrators, agricultural software vendors and service organizations can assess the workflow, integration and ongoing support together. Operations should define tasks and exceptions, IT should validate interfaces and access, and procurement should compare complete configurations and service scope.
Define receiver, controller and terminal responsibilities. Validate CAN, serial or network interfaces; test guidance display separately from automated steering.
From field action to a complete record
- 01Import field boundaries and guidance lines
- 02Connect positioning and control systems
- 03Display navigation and job status
- 04Summarize tracks and worked area
System integration & delivery responsibilities
Use field, guidance line, implement, position quality, controller state, work log as the integration checklist. Define field ownership, required values and exception handling. Complete one representative job from terminal to API and backend review before scaling to more teams or sites.
SOTEN provides display terminals, interfaces and customization support. Machinery and solution partners own control algorithms, actuators, maps and agricultural workflows. The interface does not replace machinery control or safety systems.
Turn requirements into testable selection criteria
| Criterion | Confirm with the project team | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|
| Use and configuration | Confirm capture methods, environment and operator interaction against the criteria above | Representative jobs, tags and peripheral list |
| Systems and interfaces | Machine control / job dispatch / farm management application version, fields, SDKs and protocols | Installable software, API specification and test account |
| Operations and support | Actual shifts, power, network, mounting and spare-unit plan | Full-shift test, installation drawing and support responsibilities |
Product platforms to evaluate
Select a platform by workflow, then confirm the branch, operating-system version and modules. The suggestions below do not mean every option is included in every configuration.

View platform and configurations ↗Pilot validation & procurement acceptance
Test sunlight readability, vibration, turns, correction loss and restarts in a real field, reconciling logs with controller status.
- Operations: confirm completion, exception review and result retrieval against real workflows.
- IT / integration: verify fields, permissions, offline recovery and duplicate handling.
- Procurement / support: freeze the tested device, software and accessories, and agree delivery, spares and service terms.
Questions before the project starts
Can this connect to our existing system?
Machine control / job dispatch / farm management are integration targets, subject to application compatibility, interface access and SDK validation. Share the software version, API specification and an anonymized workflow sample for a device pilot. Agree device supply, integration and rollout as explicit work packages.
What should we prepare before selecting pilot devices?
Provide implements and controllers, communication protocols, positioning solution, map formats and real-field test conditions. Include deployment region, estimated quantity, project stage and intended rollout date to define candidate configurations and a test plan.
