The Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) announced today it is introducing the updated AEF ISOBUS Database (DB) app to give agricultural equipment dealers, manufacturers and end users a convenient way to access its database, the only comprehensive repository of all ISOBUS compatible products in the world. Users may now easily drill down by brand, product, or ISOBUS functionality to confirm product compatibility while in the office or in the field, for free.

“With so many different manufacturers creating a wide scope of agricultural products around the world, when you start using different brands together, they are not always technologically compatible,”

said Andrew Olliver, Vice Chairman, AEF.

“However, when products all share the same ‘nerve system,’ more commonly known as the ‘ISOBUS,’ they communicate seamlessly. The AEF ISOBUS DB app identifies which products on the market are compatible and are ISOBUS-certified.”

Through the AEF’s app, the agricultural equipment community may now look up a product’s ISOBUS compatibility, find information if a customer is having trouble in the field, research ISOBUS compatibility of new equipment and accessories, or identify ISOBUS functions. Information can be shared with others through the app using messaging tools such as WhatsApp or email.

Only products that are AEF ISOBUS certified are listed in the AEF ISOBUS Database. Currently there are approximately 80 companies listing their certified ISOBUS products in the database, a number that keeps growing.

“This is an incredibly useful tool, especially for ag equipment dealers, when they have to advise their customers on their next ISOBUS equipment purchase,”

said Olliver.

“Dealers will find the app’s new module and option views essential.”

In the app’s module view, users can view detailed information about ISOBUS products, such as the

individual controllers to see exactly which functionality they support. This helps dealers make product recommendations, as well as diagnose service compatibility issues. The option view provides the ability to view the compatibility of multiple product features.

Download the new AEF ISOBUS DB app today (Mobile App – AEF Online (aef-online.org)) and create an account for free. Or, you can find the new app by searching “AEF ISOBUS DB” in Apple’s App Store or in Google Play. Available for Android and iOS smartphones, the app allows users to create a free account for 24/7 access on the go.

CaBa product range include machines for earthworks, leaf canopy management and grass cutting in orchards and vineyards as well as trailed and mounted turbines and sprayers.

2. Trailed and Mounted Turbine sprayers (Vicar)

The innovative turbine system of the sprayers makes them effective and efficient as the sprayed product reaches the leaf blade quickly and precisely. In fact, the turbine makes the water droplets the very vector of the treatment, which reaches the right place in an optimal measure.
VICAR’s turbine sprayers are distinguished by the high quality of the components used; the stainless steel turbine, all brass fittings, the hot galvanized frame are just an example. The maintenance interventions are reduced and simplified also thanks to the precision of the assembly and to the severe final test, guaranteeing a high value to the purchase of the VICAR mist sprayers.
Moreover, using a VICAR turbine mist sprayer means having a system that generates a constant and homogeneous flow of air, aimed at the leaf wall thanks to the adjustable diffusers. The airflow conveys the product making it adhere to both leaf blades, thus optimizing the effectiveness of treatments even at low volume.
In addition, VICAR turbine sprayer respects the environment because, thanks to the precision of spraying, it guarantees a reduction in drift of 80-90%

The Northern Ireland-based manufacturer has been producing two of the brand’s core products – hot vulcanized Endless conveyor belts and Zip Clip replacement belts – in its new 65,000-sq.-ft. facility since April.

The company’s U.S. operation is headed by plant manager Morgan Walker, who has held a number of leadership roles since joining the family-owned business as a site service team leader. Ryan Wright, who serves as international sales manager, remains responsible for North American sales and business development.

“Manufacturing in America, for America was a natural strategic move, and having a base in Kentucky means we can offer just-in time delivery to our American customers,” says Chris Monroe, president of Smiley Monroe Inc.

Marketing director Tim Monroe says the company is focused on manufacturing its Zip Clip replacement belts as a result of listening to its U.S. customers talk about the problem of machine downtime and the amount of time and money wasted waiting for service crews and spare belts to arrive on-site. According to Tim Monroe, the belts made at the new Kentucky facility make it easy to maximize conveyor uptime, increase efficiencies and reduce running costs.

“In Zip Clip, Smiley Monroe is bringing fresh thinking and something genuinely new to the American market, while being well-placed to satisfy volume demand for high quality and competitively priced chevron conveyor belting which is often in short supply in the American market,” Chris Monroe says.

Co-founded 40 years ago by Vaughan Monroe to provide conveyor belts and a vulcanizing service to local quarries and mines, Smiley Monroe now exports to more than 60 countries worldwide, across 10 equipment sectors – ranging from quarrying, construction and demolition and environmental to agricultural, recycling and waste management and road construction.

Five New Dealer Partners

Interest in SANY equipment has been surging, said Erwood, including demand for the new motor grader and drum roller revealed at ConExpo earlier this year. Prospective new SANY dealers have told Erwood they are impressed with the company’s overall vision for growth in North America, the broad range of equipment offerings, and the global strength of the SANY brand.

“Dealer interest remains strong, and SANY is actively executing its strategy to expand its dealer network across the United States,”

said Erwood.

In just the first few months of the year, five new dealers have joined the SANY dealer network, from the Northeast to the Southwest. And Erwood says there are many more currently working to start the process of offering SANY equipment at their locations.

Northeast Heavy Metal LLC (SANY New York)

Based in Lockport, N.Y., just outside of Buffalo, Northeast Heavy Metal LLC (SANY New York), has partnered with SANY to provide excavators, wheel loaders, and other construction equipment. The dealership is the third SANY dealer location in New York state and will provide machinery, service, and support for customers in Western New York and the Finger Lakes region.

Central Power Systems & Services

Located just a few miles from the Missouri River in Maryland Heights, just outside of St. Louis, is Central Power Systems & Services Inc. For more than 60 years, the company has delivered a full range of products and services for construction, oil and gas, mining, military, and many other industries, and now offers the full line of SANY construction equipment to customers at the Gateway to the West.

A1 Iron Corporation

Also joining the dealer network is A1 Iron Corporation in La Vista, Nebraska. In addition to providing the full line of SANY equipment along with service and maintenance options for customers in the Great Plains, A1 Iron also has the distinction of being the first exclusive SANY dealer in the state of Nebraska.

Trinity Equipment

On the Pacific Coast, SANY welcomed Trinity Equipment, Inc. in Colton, California. This veteran-owned and operated dealer is serving customers throughout Southern California, providing heavy machinery for construction projects and landscaping operations across the region.

Innovative Equipment Services LLC (EquipmentShare)

Finally, Innovative Equipment Services LLC (EquipmentShare) in Phoenix, Arizona is not only the latest SANY dealer, but holds two unique distinctions. It is the first dealer located in the state, and also marks the sixth dealer location for EquipmentShare with exclusive SANY retail distribution rights.

Building Partnerships for Success

Unlike some vendor relationships, SANY takes pride in truly working as a partner with each dealer, taking time to truly understand each dealer’s goals and challenges while working alongside them to make sure they succeed. SANY works to become a strategic partner with its dealers, working to provide tools and services that enhance the value of their business and equip them with everything needed to be successful as a dealer.

“We have a comprehensive and efficient new dealer evaluation process that focuses not only on the financial capabilities and geographic location of the dealer, but on the construction of a detailed strategic plan,”

said Erwood.

“The strategic plan covers all aspects of a dealer’s operations and provides a roadmap to success. SANY takes the time to understand the strengths and motivations of its dealer partner to maximize a dealer’s return on investment.”

As part of this process, SANY representatives complete tours of facilities to understand operations on the ground and conduct interviews with management teams at each dealership to meet them personally and start forging a working partnership. SANY also performs financial, operational, and market research as part of the evaluation, working to make sure prospective dealers are set up to both be successful as a dealership and deliver on the SANY promise for every customer.

More than Machines – Sany Delivers Partnerships #MadeForAmerica

Both customers and dealer partners praise the performance, competitive pricing, and industry-leading five-year, 5,000-hour warranty that is synonymous with SANY equipment. SANY works to deliver reliability and performance to its customers and takes the same approach with its dealer relationships. Time and again, new dealers say that working with SANY is unlike the relationships they’ve had with other OEMs, with SANY investing time and effort to forge a true partnership, providing the tools, services, and support they need to succeed. This relationship also helps SANY ensure that from coast to coast, SANY customers know they will find the same consistent quality, performance, and assistance at their local SANY dealer.
