Path Plan Routing
Routing is currently not fully released. Please contact support@vergeag.com if you would like to receive a demo or further evaluate the Routing features in Launch Pad Path Planner.
Problem in the Market today
In the market today, where equipment in the field may have a path plan to execute, but an operator is still required to make in-field decisions on how to execute the path plan. Operators must decide where to start, how many perimeter passes to perform, whether to turn right or left at an obstacle or maneuver around. Growers and farm managers would like to remove as much of the decision making process from the operator as possible to ensure the proper balance of quality and efficiency.
Solution
The solution to this problem is to provide a route to an operator on a consumer device (phone or tablet) as visual task instructions to help them navigate the field based on the path plan which is guiding the equipment. Additionally, in order to measure and improve our routing solution we will optionally be able to collect location information from the device
launch Pad Routing Features in Path Planner: Designed for Real-World Field Operations
Our Path Planner tool includes a set of routing features built to enhance field efficiency and collaboration. Farm managers can share planned routes directly with operators, who can then view the routes on companion devices such as phones or tablets. Operators have access to key route details like start and end points, directionality, and task order, along with the ability to see their current location in relation to the route. The tool also encourages route tracking during execution and collects simple feedback (“Was this route helpful?”) to continuously improve planning and mission success.
To Share a Path Plan
The Share feature creates a link that is available on any device. A Launch Pad is NOT required

The intention of this solution today is NOT for equipment guidance, maybe in the not so distant future.
