With the XactMap app, Rauch presents a simple and practical solution for the automated creation and transfer of application maps. The application makes it possible to transfer location-based fertilization strategies without external data carriers directly to the tractor’s ISOBUS terminal via the Rauch App.

The new solution is based on a close system partnership between Rauch and FarmBlick, combining mechanical precision and digital intelligence. Rauch contributes expertise in precision fertiliser application and machine control, while FarmBlick provides the data and cloud architecture that enables a continuous digital process chain.

XactMap integrates seamlessly into existing data infrastructures thanks to standardized interfaces to agrirouter and MyJohnDeere. This means that data exchange between operational management systems, cloud platforms and ISOBUS terminals is fully automated for the first time. Application maps are generated, adjusted and synchronized online directly via the Rauch App in the field, all without a USB stick, manual data transfer or additional hardware.

The Rauch App also provides direct access to XactMap functions from the tractor cab. Users can manage application data, check machine parameters and adjust spreading data directly. This deep integration simplifies the workflow, representing a new level of process reliability and documentation.

‘Our joint development with FarmBlick shows how mechanical precision and digital connectivity interlock,’ emphasises Wilfried Müller, Managing Director of Rauch. ‘XactMap is a logical step towards automated fertilization. Everything runs efficiently, transparently and compatible with existing farm management systems.’

The system partnership between Rauch and FarmBlick represents the increasing convergence of agricultural technology and digital systems. The aim is to offer farmers an interoperable solution that works with both modern machine fleets and cross-manufacturer cloud systems.

XactMap thus makes precise, site-specific fertilization a consistent and digitally secure process that can be intuitively and easily integrated into everyday work.
