Imagine having complete control of all of your application activities – anhydrous, liquid, and granular – using one display. Imagine application technology that can manage variable rate application and even multiple product application. Imagine an application system that can control application by individual boom section. Imagine a display that can be easily switched from your anhydrous rig to your spreader and then your sprayer. Then imagine that same display also recording all of your field application activities so you can easily access application reports. That’s exactly the power you get with INSIGHT display’s DirectCommand system.

DirectCommand gives you direct control over individual boom sections and application rate by connecting directly to supported brands of flow meters and valves. The DirectCommand system gives you control over both liquid and granular application – including anhydrous applicators, spreaders, air carts and sprayers, while simultaneously logging data and providing application mapping capabilities – from one integrated display – the INSIGHT display.

DirectCommand Supports Anhydrous Heat Exchangers:

• Raven two-valve system.
• Raven one-valve system.
• Dickey-john system.

AutoSwath™ – The Benefits:

• Lower input waste and cost.
• Reduces crop damage from over application.
• Reduces skips due to forgetting to turn boom section back on.
• Less operator fatigue.
• Operator can monitor other functions.
• Improves overall accuracy.
• Improves environmental stewardship.

• Rate Control. The DirectCommand system matches the real-time prescribed application rate to the target application rate by reading the flow meter and instantly adjusting the control valve. Simultaneously, it reads ground speed from a radar gun or 1 to 10 Hz GPS receiver and adjusts the valve accordingly. The system can also read and display optional pressure sensors, eliminating the need to monitor pressure gauges located outside the cab.
• Manual Boom Section Control. The DirectCommand system connects and controls up to ten boom valves independently. A simple switch box allows an operator to switch on or off individual boom sections. This is especially useful around point rows, waterways and field borders. The system supports both motorized and solenoid type boom valves. An auxiliary input module is also available for connecting built-in boom and master switches in self-propelled sprayers or other vehicles.
• AutoSwath Boom Control. An alternative to manual boom control, DirectCommand’s exclusive AutoSwath™ boom control automatically turns on/off individual boom sections based on your field map. AutoSwath eliminates the need for manually switching boom sections on/off – and the possibility of forgetting about a boom section that is turned off. AutoSwath’s precision boom control won’t turn off until all areas under the boom are applied. An on screen coverage map showing application skips and overlaps verifies that the system is providing complete coverage without wasting inputs.
• AutoSwath and Inside/Outside Boundaries. The AutoSwath feature allows you to map multiple outside and inside boundaries in each field. That means you can mark field borders, headlands, waterways, creeks, ponds, terraces and other areas within the field, allowing the INSIGHT display to automatically turn off/on boom sections as you pass over these areas. The system will also calculate the area for each of these boundaries and automatically subtract them from total field acres.
