Isotronic Technology for Agriculture 4.0 - Maschio Gaspardo (english)

Maschio Gaspardo is a technology company that has developed pioneering solutions alongside users over many years. Our history began in 1964 when the first company was founded by two brothers, focusing on green maintenance machines. After significant growth, in 1994 we acquired Gaspardo, a leader in planters and spreaders. Further acquisitions followed: Uni Green in 2013 for crop protection, a hay and forage company in 2014, and Moro Pietro in 2017 for plowing equipment. Today, Maschio Gaspardo offers a complete range of products for soil preparation, tilling, no-till, precision planters (including high-speed), sprayers, atomizers, hay and forage equipment, and green maintenance. With 326 million euros in turnover, 2,000 employees, eight plants (five in Italy, one each in Romania, India, and China), and offices worldwide, we produce over 70,000 machines annually. Now let's focus on our isotronic technology for Agriculture 4.0, which is especially topical in Italy due to tax incentives for digital investments. Agriculture 4.0 builds on precision farming, which has existed since the 1970s, but now integrates big data, cloud computing, robotics, and blockchain for connectivity, automation, and traceability. Maschio Gaspardo has invested in the ISOBUS protocol for standardized communication between different brands, enabling high-quality data for precision agriculture. Our isotronic system uses a virtual terminal to control multiple implements and transmit data to the cloud. We also offer variable rate application and automatic section control to reduce waste. The third part of my presentation focuses on the Chrono high-speed planter, introduced in 2017, which uses electric isotronic transmission. It doubles the speed of conventional planters, saving time and improving precision. The Chrono system ensures homogeneous seed depth even on irregular soil, and its electric transmission allows precise control. We have also developed a new seed distributor with adjustable airflow for different seed types, and a compact 12-row model for transport. Thank you. If you have questions, please use the chat.
