Brand and Product Highlights
Highlight 1: Precision Agriculture Platform (NX600 Series × AgNav 5)
- ISOBUS Full-Stack Interoperability: Natively supports UT terminal display and control; TC-SC (up to 255 sections) enables automatic section control; TC-GEO enables variable rate application; AUX-N provides extended control options. In mixed-fleet and multi-brand implement environments, it bridges the crucial link between “Guidance – Implement – Task”.
- SteerReady Compatibility: Rapid integration with multiple major OEM SteerReady models reduces hydraulic/motor installation and wiring time, making system transfer between machines more efficient — highly appreciated by end users.
- More Guidance Lines = Broader Scenario Adaptation: AB, A+, Curve/Adaptive Curve, Headland, Centre Pivot, and other “9+” modes combined with AgNav 5’s headland strategies suit irregular boundaries, long plots, and hilly terrain.
- User Experience: NX612 features a 12" large display with a smooth split-screen interface, showing guidance, ISOBUS widgets, and camera feeds simultaneously; supports four-way surround-view cameras to enhance visibility and safety during low-speed steering and headland turning.
- Template Reuse: AgNav 5 enables one-click saving of guidance lines, headland strategies, task parameters, and prescription maps, allowing cross-field and cross-season “one-click replication” — ensuring a consistently stable experience year after year.
Highlight 2: Application Control (SprayX100 Intelligent Spraying System)
- Comprehensive Functions and Reliable Precision:
- Overlap Detection + Automatic Section Control: Prevents over- or under-spraying.
- Boundary Detection: Automatically shuts off boom/sections when crossing field boundaries.
- Automatic Rate Control (Target L/ha): Maintains consistent flow rate with vehicle speed and terrain changes.
- Auto Start/Stop Linkage: Activates valves automatically upon implement engagement or disengagement, reducing manual operations.
- Multi-Level Alerts: Includes spray accuracy, pressure, tank level, and overspeed warnings.
- Team Operation: Enables multi-machine collaboration for enhanced efficiency in large-scale field operations.
- Overlap Detection + Automatic Section Control: Prevents over- or under-spraying.
- Interface and Extension: 10" or 12" touchscreen terminal + ISOBUS ECU, with up to 13 section valves; key information is displayed clearly and intuitively.
- Coordination with Guidance: Works in conjunction with NX series guidance lines and headland strategies to ensure accurate spraying even in complex field shapes; combined with VG100 visual guidance, it automatically finds crop rows when plant lines deviate from original guidance — achieving a truly closed loop of “See (Guidance) + Spray (Control)”.
Highlight 3: End-Implements and Terrain Control Expansion (IS100 / HG100 / VG100 / IC100)
- IS100 (Implement Guidance): Uses the actual implement position as reference to eliminate drift, significantly improving row spacing and straightness — ideal for slopes, hillsides, and trailed implements.
- HG100 (Harvest Guidance): Ensures row-accurate harvesting of crops like maize, reducing losses and lodging.
- VG100 (Visual Guidance): Employs proprietary camera and AI-based crop-row recognition to generate dynamic guidance lines — avoids plant damage, minimises manual offset corrections, maintains optimal speed band; supports additional crop types via OTA updates.
- IC100 (Land Levelling System): Controls blade or grader height and slope according to target design; supports design surface import and operation trace recording. When combined with AgNav 5 route and headland templates, it achieves consistent one-pass levelling — establishing the base surface for precise seeding and variable fertilisation.
Tillage · Seeding · Crop Management · Harvesting
Tillage (Soil Preparation / Deep Loosening / Trenching / Levelling)
- Core Combination: NX600 × AgNav 5 + ISOBUS + SteerReady + IC100 Levelling System
- Highlights:

Why It Matters
- Future-Ready Compatibility and Openness: Aligning with the long-term trend of mixed fleets and cross-brand collaboration, the partnership focuses on “open adaptation and process reuse”, enabling precision agriculture capabilities to migrate seamlessly across machine types and model generations.
- Turning “Good Experience” into “Replicable Success”: From guidance and task control to templates and data archiving, the collaboration emphasises “can next season reproduce last season’s success with one click” — transforming a single achievement into continuous success.
- Channel and Service Synergy: Combining the extensive network and standardised service of OEM partners with CHCNAV’s product iteration and local support delivers users balanced certainty in availability, delivery speed, and operational experience.
- From Efficiency to Sustainability: Reducing over- and under-spraying, improving row spacing and straightness, and strengthening data traceability — ensuring lower inputs, more stable results, and easier compliance auditing, providing dual assurance for green agriculture and operational resilience.
- Integrated Capability of Guidance – Control – Vision – Levelling – FMS: Enables users to achieve a more predictable input-output ratio and easily auditable compliance across multiple crops, terrains, and fleet types.
Three Key Takeaways:
- Ecosystem Integration: Enabling seamless collaboration of guidance, task control, and digital management across more brands and models.
- Service Closed-Loop: Improving efficiency across the full chain of “installation – operation – upgrade” through standardised maintenance and remote support.
- Long-Term Value: Accumulating operational insights from traceable data assets to support more scientific input-output decisions.
