When transporting livestock manure or other fertilizers, the Manure Bank must always be aware of the loading and unloading location, and the size of each load. Thanks to the mandatory presence of an AGR-GPS system in the vehicle, each transport can be tracked.
Why do I need to register my manure shipment?
Manure contains substances such as phosphate and nitrogen. An excessive concentration of these substances in agricultural land causes contamination, which immediately has a direct effect on the crops grown on this land. For this reason, on Jan. 1, 2012, the installation of an AGR-GPS system in every vehicle transporting animal manure or other fertilizers became mandatory.
So the mandatory installation of these AGR-GPS systems came about to control pollution. But who exactly checks that everything is going according to the rules? Well, that is the role of the Manure Bank. It should always be aware of the loading and unloading times and the locations where loading and unloading is taking place.
An AGR-GPS system - concretely
The AGR-GPS equipment installed in the vehicle records and automatically transmits all data to the Manure Bank. A vehicle leaving with a load of manure to unload in a field several kilometers away will have to indicate to the Manure Bank before departure where the load will go.
An automatic procedure has been developed for both start-up - loading - unloading - end, which means that only minimal time needs to be spent on passing this information. The user can always follow all actions via a tablet and makes the Manure Bank registrations in a few clicks.
The tablet features a user-friendly interface with clear icons and is connected to a web application. The tablet itself can take quite a beating and is waterproof thanks to a water-resistant cover. This makes the tablet suitable for everyday work situations.
The AGR-GPS system from All-Connects is an all-in telematics solution that integrates both the AGR-GPS hardware, its installation and communication with the server. Per 'communication' you pay a fixed price and are therefore not surprised by monthly sky-high bills. Do not only save yourself a lot of time, but always be the first in line with all your registrations with the Manure Bank.
