NOVA 200 is an intelligent sprayer control system that uses GNSS/GPS positioning data to manage individual boom sections and optimize the application of crop protection products. The system automatically switches off the relevant sections when entering previously treated areas, reducing overlapping applications, chemical consumption, and environmental impact.
With automatic section control, application rate regulation, and field navigation functions, NOVA 200 supports more precise, efficient, and consistent spraying under different field conditions.
General Features and Functions
Automatic Section Control (ASC)
The Automatic Section Control function manages the activation and deactivation of individual sprayer boom sections based on GPS positioning and available mapping data. When the sprayer enters an already treated area, the relevant sections are automatically switched off.
This reduces double spraying, helps prevent untreated areas, and minimizes unnecessary chemical consumption, including when working in irregularly shaped fields.
Automatic Application Rate Control (ARC)
The system maintains the target application rate regardless of changes in driving speed or operating conditions. By continuously adjusting flow rate and pressure in real time, NOVA 200 helps ensure uniform distribution of the spray solution and maintains the desired application volume per unit area.
Field Boundary Recording
This function allows the operator to record and define the exact perimeter of a field using GNSS. The system uses the recorded boundaries to improve spraying accuracy and can automatically stop the flow when the sprayer moves outside the defined field perimeter.
A–B Straight-Line Guidance
The operator sets two reference points, A and B, to create a straight guidance line. NOVA 200 uses this line as a reference and generates parallel guidance lines for consistent passes across the field.
This function helps maintain evenly spaced working passes while reducing overlaps and untreated areas.
Guidance Line Shifting
This function allows the operator to shift an existing guidance line to the left or right without creating a new A–B line. It provides flexibility when adapting to different equipment working widths and correcting overlaps or missed passes.
Pause and Resume Point
The function allows the operator to temporarily stop spraying and resume from the exact GPS position where work was interrupted. Job data is saved automatically, making it easier to continue after refilling the tank, taking a short break, or navigating around obstacles.
This helps maintain accurate application and reduces the risk of missed or repeatedly treated areas.
Tractor and Equipment Database
NOVA 200 allows operators to create and save profiles for multiple tractors and sprayers. Each profile can store important parameters, including boom width, number of sections, and calibration data.
This simplifies initial setup, enables convenient switching between machines, and supports consistent system performance across different operations.
Automatic Job Data Recording
The system records spraying data in real time without requiring the operator to manually confirm each completed task. Information is automatically stored in the controller's memory, supporting traceability and making it easier to review completed operations.
