At SIMA 2019, MyEasyFarm, the cloud-based platform for aggregating and exchanging data with agricultural equipment, is presenting a solution to connect an existing tractor through two joint offerings:
- the ISOconnect box developed by OSB and BHTronik.
The ISOconnect box allows existing tractor consoles to be retro-fitted to make them connected.
Indeed, ISOconnect allows ISOBUS data exchange directly from the GSM network or thanks to a smartphone connected via Bluetooth or Wifi. This eliminates the need for USB keys to exchange data between the agricultural software and the tractor console.
ISOconnect includes an ISOBUS Task Controller (TC) as well as a Data Logger to record positioning and quantity data.
ISOconnect fully supports the TC-GEO function of ISOBUS, allowing it to control the modulation of input quantities of implements attached to the tractor. ISOconnect is connected to the tractor's In-cab socket.
- a partnership with ORANGE as part of the Datavenue ready program
Orange aims to become one of the major European players in IoT (Internet of Things), with a target of doubling its revenues in this area between 2018 and 2022.
In particular, Orange announced at the end of 2018 the launch of the LTE-M network, which complements the LoRa network and will replace the 2G/3G networks for the IoT.
Orange has also launched its Datavenue Ready initiative to help its partners develop their IoT offerings: MyEasyFarm one of Orange’s first partners in the agriculture and agri-food sector.

“We are particularly proud to become one of the first Orange Datavenue Ready partners in the agricultural sector,” says François THIERART, co-founder of MyEasyFarm. “Orange’s LTE-M network and Live Objects platform will enable agricultural equipment to be connected and facilitate faster, easier data exchange between the farm and its equipment in the fields, leading to greater control and enhanced traceability.”
