Agricultural Auto-Steering Solutions
RTK GNSS rugged vehicle terminals for tractors, seeders, sprayers, and harvesters, supporting precise navigation and efficient field operations.
Why Choose PDS for Agricultural Auto-Steering?
Straight-Line Expertise
With 15 years of vehicle navigation experience, PDS understands how guidance-line drift affects field operations. Our terminals keep rows straight, minimize overlap, and improve operator confidence.
RTK-Ready Auto-Steering Integration
Centimeter-level positioning, low-latency GNSS, and CAN output enable immediate steering correction when tractors drift, delivering pass-to-pass accuracy down to ±2.5 cm.
Operational Efficiency
Improve planting and harvesting accuracy while reducing overlap, fuel consumption, and manual steering workload.
Built for Tough Farm Conditions
IP66-rated, fanless, -20°C to 70°C operation, and ISO 16750-3 vibration-tested for dust, rain, and long field shifts.
Real-Time Visual Guidance
High-brightness IPS displays with optical bonding keep guidance lines visible in sunlight, while multi-screen and 4-channel camera support combine navigation, implement data, and rear-view safety.
Global OEM/ODM Expertise
PDS products are deployed across Europe, Japan, South America, and beyond, with end-to-end OEM/ODM support from concept design to mass production.

Proven in the Field — Real Results, Real Scale
Russia — 500+ T10 Units for Large-Scale Grain Farming
A major agricultural holding in Russia's Black Earth region deployed over 500 T10 tablets for spring sowing. RTK auto-steering reduced overlap from 15% to under 3%, saved about 8% in seed and fertilizer costs across 200,000+ hectares, and reduced operator fatigue during 16-hour shifts.
Spain — Olive Grove Precision with T10 Terminals
An Andalusian olive grower cooperative adopted PDS Technology T10 tablets for tractors operating in narrow grove rows. RTK guidance and a sunlight-readable 10-inch display helped maintain ±2.5 cm accuracy, prevent trunk damage, and reduce manual steering corrections by 70%.
Features That Keep You on Track
| Icon | Feature | Auto-Steering Specific Description |
|---|---|---|
| RTK-Grade Positioning | Centimeter-level accuracy holds the line pass after pass, reducing wavy rows and missed sections. | |
| Low-Latency Steering Response | High-update-rate GNSS and optimized CAN output help the steering system correct as soon as the tractor drifts. | |
| Guidance Pattern Flexibility | Supports straight A-B lines, curved contours, and headland turns for different field patterns. | |
| Multiple Correction Sources | Supports NTRIP, radio base stations, and satellite L-band correction methods for regional deployment flexibility. | |
| Implement Monitoring | Up to 4 cameras monitor planters, seeders, or sprayer booms to detect blockages before they affect yield. | |
| Dual CAN with SocketCAN | Connect steering controllers, tractor ECUs, and ISOBUS implements on separate CAN networks without signal conflicts. | |
| Sunlight-Readable Display | 750+ cd/m² brightness with anti-glare treatment keeps guidance lines visible in direct sunlight. | |
| Easy Retrofit Connectivity | Standard CAN and power harnesses connect to most steering controllers without custom wiring. |
