CNH says the acquisition solidifies its in-house precision, automation and autonomy technology.

CNH Industrial announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase Hemisphere GNSS (Hemisphere), a global leader in high-performance satellite positioning technology, currently owned by Unistrong, a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China.

Roland Moelder, product manager at Hemisphere GNSS, explains the new Outback Guidance MaveriX guidance and steering software that can be used during planting, spraying and application. MaveriX works with the new eDriveM1 autosteer controller and the A631 GNSS Smart Antenna.

The MaveriX application software includes a new user interface that provides an innovative tablet-like user experience with improved 3-D graphics. The included adjustable widgets give users the freedom to customize their UI experience.

Hemisphere has assumed ownership of the Outback assets, including a well-established global sales channel, infrastructure, and trademarks. Additionally, licenses to IP and related technology have been executed.
