FJDynamics and New Agri Bring Precision Agriculture into the Field at AgriLab 2026
On July 23, 2026, FJDynamics joined its Italian dealer New Agri at AgriLab in Foggia, Italy. Held at the CREA Research Centre for Cereal and Industrial Crops, the event brought agricultural innovation out of the presentation room and into real field conditions.Under the theme of innovation and field trials for broadacre crops, AgriLab connected machinery companies, researchers, agronomists, contractors, farmers, and agricultural organizations. The program combined field demonstrations in precision agriculture, horticulture, and regenerative agriculture with technical workshops and an afternoon conference on digital and sustainable farming.
From research to real field operations
For FJDynamics, AgriLab offered the right setting to show what precision agriculture can look like in daily farm work. The FJD sales team and New Agri met visitors in the field, discussed local operating needs, and presented practical solutions for guidance, auto steering, precision spraying, and precision planting.The solutions on display included the FJD AT2 Series, AS2, ATS Ultra, and APS. Together, they reflect a practical approach to farm modernization: help operators improve accuracy, reduce unnecessary inputs, and make better use of machinery they already own.

Modern precision for existing machinery
One of the strongest stories from the event came from Matteo Marazzi of New Agri. In local media coverage, he explained how an older sprayer can be upgraded with the FJD ATS Ultra rather than replaced by a completely new machine.This retrofit approach matters to many farms. A machine may still be mechanically sound, yet lack the control and documentation tools expected in modern agriculture. By adding precision technology to an existing platform, farmers can extend the value of their equipment while gaining more consistent application control.

How ATS Ultra improves spraying control
According to the event report, ATS Ultra supports steering accuracy of about 2.5 centimetres under suitable RTK conditions and controls product distribution at the individual nozzle level. Pulse-width modulation allows each nozzle to respond independently as the sprayer enters or leaves treated areas, works through headlands, or travels across irregular fields.The system can also adjust output according to speed and prescription maps. This helps the operator apply the intended dose more consistently across the field, including when terrain or operating speed changes.Every pass can be documented through a final work map showing where product was applied and in what quantity. That record supports traceability, helps operators review job quality, and provides useful evidence of the completed treatment.
On-site discussion around a sprayer demonstrated how precision technology can be applied to existing machinery.
A reported 11% input saving in soybean trials
The Italian media report also cited international soybean trials in which the system reduced crop-protection product use by 11% while maintaining comparable treatment effectiveness. This figure is a reported trial result rather than a guaranteed outcome; actual savings depend on field shape, previous operating practice, machine setup, crop conditions, and application parameters.Even with those variables, the example illustrates the practical value of nozzle-by-nozzle control. Avoiding unnecessary application in already treated areas can reduce waste without changing the agronomic target.
Technology designed to work across brands
Another important point highlighted at AgriLab was compatibility. FJDynamics solutions are designed to support mixed fleets and can be integrated with machinery from different manufacturers, subject to machine configuration and installation requirements. For ISOBUS-compatible equipment, communication with the implement can further simplify operation.This brand-independent approach gives farmers and contractors more freedom. They can modernize selected machines, introduce technology step by step, and choose the level of automation that fits their current operation.
Working with local partners in Italy
FJDynamics works with local partners such as New Agri to connect global technology with regional knowledge, installation support, and after-sales service. At AgriLab, that collaboration made the conversation concrete: visitors could see the equipment, ask questions about retrofit options, and discuss how precision solutions could fit their own tractors and implements.
