MiniGIS 2
Geographic information system
WINTERSTEIGER MiniGIS 2 is a geographic information system that can be used to plan plot trials on a PC – true to scale and precisely where they will later be located.

Your advantages with MiniGIS 2 for plot planning
Create geo-referenced field plans for use throughout the entire breeding process
Geo-referenced planting with Easy Plant or eMotion and Geo Link
Planning of all driving routes – from preparation to planting and care through to harvest
Using the WINTERSTEIGER MiniGIS 2 for downstream ratings
Geo-referenced field plans have defined plot coordinates. Sensor data is also evaluated precisely within the geo-referenced plots. This data is ideal for rating crops using robots or drones – and opens up potential for significant efficiency gains in plant breeding.
Efficient plot planning with MiniGIS 2: Quick and easy on a PC
Creating trial plots using line marking machines and optical squares is a time-consuming undertaking. With MiniGIS, trials are "planted" digitallyon the PC, taking into account the field boundaries, and can be placed precisely where there is the least variation in the soil and yield maps.
The planning data is used as the basis for GNNS systems, which control tractors and seeders automatically.
No marking before planting – helps to keepordering efficient and on schedule.
Prepared driving routes allow for automated creation and maintenance of alleys with an accuracy of down to 2.5 centimeters.
Steering systems can initiate seed changes automatically when entering a plot during planting.
MiniGIS 2 also offers modules for irrigation control, for flight planning for flight systems, as well as for assessing the acquired image data (rating, growth height, and much more).
