Why standards? Farmers buy different brands of tractors and implements PTO Hitch Aux Valves Lights ISOBUS Next comes Data
Not just orange or blue.. Most of them are equipped with ISOBUS
ISOBUS market introduction Early 2000s: ISO-11783 commonly named ISOBUS ISOBUS started slowly in 2001 Since 2005 rapid growth in ISOBUS applications Plugfests for testing, and DLG tests Many companies involved worldwide Different interpretations of the standard (the standard is extensive!) Incompatibility issues Bad start Need for structured Conformance Testing
Typical ISOBUS system Sold with wrong marketing promises, mainly due to lack of knowledge
Founding of AEF Lesson learnt: Implementation of complex standards require coordination and cooperation! Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation Founded in October 2008 by 7 major Agricultural Equipment manufacturers and 2 Associations
AEF growth

Data Exchange - FMIS Data exchange is standardized in ISO11783, Parts 10 & 11 Currently data is transported by USB stick No longer adequate and useful Direct wireless communication of task data is necessary AEF is developing a new data transmission, called EFDI EFDI stands for Extended FMIS Data Interface It replaces the function of the USB stick in the Machine / FMIS chain Communication channels could be Mobile Communications Bluetooth Wireless LAN.
High Speed ISOBUS Existing ISOBUS is CAN based Speed and bandwidth are at the limit Need for increasing bandwidth on the Bus, to ease and speed up data exchange Ethernet technology in the scope This will lead to new possibilities; The expansion of diagnostics The support of electric drives M2M communications Connection of real-time video systems
Radio based communication Challenges: Machines operate in rural areas with low population density Low bandwidth and bad cellular coverage 90% of the world population today is connected via cell phone Only 30% of the landscape is covered by cellular radio and even less with 3G General demand for standardization of wireless direct M2M communication
