So far, the approach has been supported by an open consortium of ten well-known agricultural machinery manufacturers who have jointly recognized that Farming 4.0 only works if a vendor-independent data exchange is possible.
Until the end of 2017 AGCO, AMAZONE, DEUTZ-FAHR, GRIMME, HORSCH, KRONE, KUHN, LEMKEN, PÖTTINGER, RAUCH (in alphabetical order) were on this list. Now, with retroactive effect from 1 January 2018, EXEL Industries Group has joined the consortium.
Regardless of company size and date of joining, each consortium member still has one vote. This also applies to other interested parties from the field of agricultural engineering who are seeking a shareholder role in the consortium.
Software supplier of the agrirouter is SAP. The global company develops the agrirouter and guarantees the secure operation and international use of the data exchange platform. The open approach also allows other market participants (e.g., agri-software, agricultural trade, input companies, etc.) to provide their digital products to optimize the agricultural production processes in a virtual marketplace on the www.my-agrirouter.com website.
