Harnessing the Power of TracMap Technology at Central Heliwork Ltd
At Central Heliwork Ltd, we are committed to providing our clients with the most efficient and precise agricultural and aerial service solutions. A key part of this commitment is our use of TracMap, an innovative GPS technology designed specifically for precision agriculture. TracMap equips our helicopters with the tools needed to deliver outstanding results every time, enhancing both the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations.
What is TracMap?
TracMap is a leading GPS guidance and job management system that enables us to perform various agricultural tasks with unprecedented accuracy. This technology provides a comprehensive solution for planning, placing, and proving agricultural applications. It allows for precise mapping of the areas that need treatment, whether it’s spraying fertilisers and pesticides or conducting frost protection, ensuring that every application is optimised for maximum coverage and minimal waste.
Harnessing the Power of TracMap Technology - how we use it.
How TracMap Works:
Job Mapping: Before a flight, the specific areas needing treatment are mapped out in the TracMap system. This ensures that our pilots know exactly where to apply their treatments, reducing overlaps and missed spots.
In-Flight Guidance: During the operation, TracMap provides real-time GPS guidance to our pilots. This system displays the most efficient flight paths and ensures that the application is evenly distributed across the designated area.
Data Recording and Reporting: After the operation, TracMap records the exact areas that were treated. This data is invaluable for proving job completion and for future planning. It allows our clients to see exactly where products were applied, enhancing transparency and accountability.
The Benefits of Using TracMap:
Using TracMap technology allows us to provide a variety of benefits to our clients:
Increased Accuracy: GPS guidance minimises human error and ensures that treatments are applied precisely where they are needed.
Reduced Waste: By accurately targeting treatment areas, we reduce the amount of product used, saving costs and minimising environmental impact.
Enhanced Efficiency: TracMap streamlines our operations, allowing us to cover more ground quickly and effectively, which is particularly crucial during critical treatment windows like frost events or pest outbreaks.
Commitment to Innovation:
At Central Heliwork Ltd, our adoption of TracMap is part of our broader commitment to leveraging technology to benefit our clients. By integrating the latest advancements in GPS and job management technology, we ensure that our services not only meet but exceed the expectations of modern agricultural practices.
