Data Management
Monitor job quality in planting, spraying, and harvesting through an Apple® iPad® tablet app in the cab of a John Deere machine with John Deere Connect Mobile. Easily visualize and display multiple quality layers to detect problems that can occur during planting, spraying, or harvest. Connect Mobile also has a common user interface that makes it easy to use between different pieces of John Deere equipment.
Connect Mobile split-screen view allows users to compare two quality layers at once in every operation.
While planting, monitor and visualize key performance indicators in high-definition map layers and dashboard tiles such as:
Set thresholds for quality layers and get alerts when they are exceeded.
Use Planter Quality Manager to precisely understand how each row is performing.
Connect Mobile split-screen view allows users to compare a previous planting layer with current harvest layer, giving the operator instant understanding of variety performance, and helping find how to best harvest the field.
When the loss monitor’s calibration factor changes, it is noted as a pin on the map and a vertical line on the trendline.

Connect Mobile harvest makes ICA extremely easy. ICA can assist operators in improving the overall daily and seasonal productivity and quality of the combine. This feature is designed to resolve issues operators face during changing crop or harvest conditions and improve combine efficiency.
NOTE: ICA is available only on Final Tier 4 (FT4) model year 2014 through 2017 S Series Combines.
Connect Mobile harvest also has a run time monitor with key indicators. These include rotor speed, fan speed, threshing clearance, chaffer opening, sieve opening, average moisture, average wet yield, and average dry yield during harvest.
They are displayed on the iPad® tablet for easy monitoring. When a combine adjustment is made, the operator can see the machine indicators that are affected as they change in real-time.

Planting
Connect Mobile hardware is factory installed on all model year 2015 and newer planters with ExactEmerge™ row-units and all model year 2017 and newer planters that are factory installed with MaxEmerge™ 5e row-units, making it easy to get started with Connect Mobile. Ask a dealer for more information about retrofit kits.
Spraying
Connect Mobile hardware (wireless data server [WDS]) is factory installed on all model year 2017 sprayers. On 2018 and newer sprayers, the 4600 CommandCenter™ (with Connect Mobile server app) eliminates the need for the WDS. Producers can also retrofit Connect Mobile on older sprayers by upgrading from a GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display to 4640 Universal Display and using the Connect Mobile server app. Field-installed kits for use with a GreenStar 3 2630 Display are no longer available.
Connect Mobile is compatible with all R-Series Sprayers and all John Deere 30 Series Sprayers that are equipped with a 4640 Universal Display. The 4640 Universal Display includes the Connect Mobile server app, meaning there is no additional equipment required. The user simply pairs the Wi-Fi of the iPad® tablet to the wireless network of the 4640 Universal Display. Older sprayers equipped with a GreenStar 3 2630 Display need to upgrade to a 4640 Universal Display for use with Connect Mobile.
Harvesting
Connect Mobile hardware was factory installed on all model year 2016- to 2018 S- Series Combines. On S- Series Combines, the 4600 CommandCenter or 4640 Universal Displays and Modular Telematics Gateway (MTG) replace the need for a WDS, making it even easier to get started with Connect Mobile. Users can bring an iPad tablet to the cab and go. Producers with older combines utilizing a GreenStar 3 2630 Display can also use Connect Mobile by installing the combine field kit.
Combines using the Connect Mobile Server (CMS) cannot utilize a WDS. Connect Mobile also cannot be used if the GreenStar 3 2630 Display is installed as the Precision Ag display.
Learn more about Connect Mobile in the Field and Crop Solutions section within the Precision Ag Technology product line and how it can improve the quality of planting and spraying jobs.

Connect Mobile is a solution that uses an Apple® iPad® tablet to help the operator better understand and manage the performance of their machines and implements. The iPad is utilized in the cab and works in conjunction with the GreenStar 3 2630 Display and 4600 CommandCenter or 4640 Universal Display. The Connect Mobile app augments the existing information available by displaying high-resolution, quality maps and performance metrics that are not offered by the GreenStar 3 2630 and 4600 CommandCenter or 4640 Universal Display.
To simplify the use of Connect Mobile, the field selection, crop type, products, and other documentation setup data are configured in the GreenStar 3 2630 and 4600 CommandCenter or 4640 Universal Display and automatically sent to the iPad. Accuracy of the documentation data and the maps are also important with Connect Mobile.
The global positioning system (GPS) information of the StarFire™ 3000 or 6000 Receiver is also sent to the iPad, improving the accuracy of maps. This ensures the documentation data being captured is accurate and displayed on the iPad properly.
Connect Mobile also works with a variety of other existing John Deere technology solutions. Please refer to the compatibility section for all the details.
NOTE: The 4200 CommandCenter and 4240 Universal Displays are not compatible with Connect Mobile. The 4640 Universal Display is compatible for spraying and harvesting using the Connect Mobile Server (CMS) and can be used with a wireless data server (WDS) for seeding.

Field Review is a functionality that enables the grower to view previous data collected by the Connect Mobile app. It also allows the operator to download data from the Operations Center to view during the current operation. The grower can access their data directly from an iPad® tablet at any time or in any place.
Field Review enables the grower to select the field and operation they desire to view. The grower can then select any of the previous map layers to view on the iPad.
Field Review provides the grower the ability to perform basic crop scouting activities after the crop has emerged. Growers can utilize this functionality to validate planter performance, check chemical efficacy, or help identify potential agronomic issues that can occur in a field.
If the iPad is cellular capable and has an active data plan, Field Review will display the location of the user in the field as they perform their scouting activities.

Flag proximity notifications help avoid obstacles in the field that could damage equipment and cause downtime. Establish a perimeter around flags that mark obstacles in the field. When equipment moves within the selected perimeter, the operator is notified with an audible tone on the iPad® tablet, as well as a pop-up notification on the Live Map in Connect Mobile.
Turn the Proximity Notification on for each flag desired.
Set the desired flag proximity notification distance for each operation type.
Set the desired distance to activate the notification.
A perimeter is visible on the screen of the radius of the distance setting.
When the vehicle enters the perimeter, a sound is played in the iPad and a banner displays a “Flag Nearby” notification.

Even though users currently do not see layers, Connect Mobile still has connections to the Operations Center data. Below are some of the ways that data is moved between Connect Mobile and the Operations Center to ensure producers and operators have the information they need to do the best job possible.
Create point flags and send them to Operations Center for viewing on the Operations Center mobile or other connected apps or hardware like the Gen 4 displays.
If third-party layers are available in Field Analyzer, they can also be seen on Connect Mobile.
Active boundaries are shown in Connect Mobile for a better understanding of work progress and making sure the entire field gets covered.
Previously documented operational layers are viewable in Connect Mobile while performing the current operation.
The following layers can be downloaded from Operations Center for viewing on split-screen mode during the current operation:
