Case IH Launches Technology Solutions to Make Precision Technology More Accessible for Farmers Worldwide
The new FieldOps™ Mobile and Web application, Connectivity Included and expanded API partnerships will allow farmers to easily manage their fleets and access actionable data from anywhere to deliver bottom line benefits.
South Africa, August 21, 2024
Today’s farmers are challenged with not only rising production demands, increased costs, and skilled labor shortages, but also increasingly complex operations to manage. Case IH understands that farmers need seamless, easy-to-use technology to help make their lives easier — and is reducing the hassle of managing multiple technology subscriptions and delivering interoperable tech solutions to meet this need.
Case IH believes precision tech must be rooted in providing actionable data and impactful solutions that make farming easier, more efficient and profitable. That’s why Case IH is launching a series of technology initiatives that put the farmer user-experience at the forefront. The all-new FieldOps™ mobile and web application redefines the way farmers connect, view and manage their operations with an expanded API integration. Lastly, Case IH is announcing Connectivity Included, which eliminates subscriptions on selected new machines, and simplifies the process of customizing technology needs.
Case IH FieldOps Officially Live in App Stores
The all-new Case IH FieldOps web and mobile app is available now for download in the App Store and Google Play Store.
FieldOps seamlessly connects and integrates agronomic insights and machine performance data, providing farmers with a comprehensive, real-time* overview of their operations, no matter the brand makeup of their fleet. Redesigned with special attention to streamlining the user experience, FieldOps makes it easy to access agronomic and machine data from anywhere.
“Launching FieldOps gave us the opportunity to fulfill the three main needs farmers have with connectivity and precision tech: interoperability, ease of use, and real-time data transfer,” said Nicolaas Myburgh, precision technology lead at Case IH.
Key features available with Case IH FieldOps:
FieldOps offers a consistent, user-friendly interface across mobile devices and web browsers, ensuring ease of use for farmers on the go. FieldOps is purposefully designed to incorporate all Case IH data and information into one platform for easy access with one log-in.
Farmers can monitor crop health, growth stages, and field conditions to make informed agronomic decisions. Furthermore, FieldOps integrates with Case IH equipment and third-party systems to streamline data collection and analysis, providing a holistic view of farm operations, no matter the fleet makeup. Farmers can track machinery usage, fuel consumption, and performance with continuous updates, ensuring optimal operational efficiency, labor management and maintenance scheduling.
Case IH Expands API Partnerships to Remove Data Integration Barriers
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, Case IH recognizes how critical it is for farmers to have seamless integration and access to their various data platforms. Case IH is expanding its API partnerships, which globally totals more than 40 as of June 2024. This gives Case IH customers easier access to their agronomic and operational data, eliminates hurdles navigating within digital platforms, and ultimately, increases farmer productivity.
Introducing Case IH’s All-New Connectivity Included Feature
In addition to launching Case IH FieldOps, Case IH is proud to introduce Connectivity Included. This groundbreaking initiative removes subscription fees from Case IH technology for qualifying machines built and purchased after October 1st, 2024**.

Customers who wish to activate the Connectivity Included feature on existing machines with compatible telematic modems and a Case IH FieldOps account (previously AFS Connect) will be able to do so for a one-time fee by contacting their dealer.
"Connectivity Included represents our commitment to supporting farmers throughout the lifecycle of their equipment," Nicolaas Myburgh.
