Topcon presents the new serie "X" console

The company Topcon presented a large number of new products at EIMA International, from the X30 top of the range consoles with a 12.1” color 3D touch-screen to the new powerful X25 with an 8” color 3D touch-screen and on to the 4.3” color touch-screen. With their new X series, Topcon intends to market solutions suitable for any type of end-user. These new consoles run Topcon Horizon software which provides precision farming machine control and user friendly high-accuracy autosteering for all production operations on small farms as well as for large farming enterprises. 

Harlan Little, the head of Topcon Precision Agriculture, TPA, production development explained, “By offering a screen with user definable interface the Horizon software allows the operator to navigate from one console to another with the same experience of use and the same graphic layout. This makes it possible for all workers on the farm and contractors to use any console in the Topcon X family.”

Topcon Precision Agriculture, moreover, is the specialized subsidiary of Topcon Positioning Systems, Inc., TPS, which develops and manufactures leading-edge satellite positioning and guidance systems, electronic controls, mapping, monitoring, land leveling solutions for agriculture. Topcon has also focused on developing an array of integrated positioning and automation technologies to meet the ever changing demands of construction, surveying, utilities and civil engineering, mapping, GIS, Geographic Information Systems, resource management and mobile systems. “The use of a modular design,” Little went on to say, “allows customers in the farming sector to choose what is initially considered the best value within the family of X consoles (X30, X25, X14) and afterwards, choose the functions required. Future needs can be satisfied simply by opening up additional functions.”
