SIRIO is a steering aid system connected to the GPS satellite network. Its function is to give directions to the operator while carrying out a range of agricultural treatments using farm equipment. Through signals sent by geostationary satellites, SIRIO provides instructions so that the equipment will never pass over a previously treated area.

• Can be used as a foam marker, for crop spraying treatments, sowing processes, etc.
• Can be positioned inside or outside the cab.
• Free direct connection to GPS satellite network.
• Free “SKYGUIDE” exclusive software enables precision operation in zones where the correction signal is unavailable. No subscription fees for specific correction signals.
• Indication of course by means of LED bars.
• Multilingual alphanumeric display.
• Gives information on: misalignment, track number, tracks treated, area treated, speed and steering angle.
• Alarm sets on when zones already treated are passed over, tracks are overlapped, satellite signal is lost, etc.
• Possibility of returning to last point treated at any given time.
• Choice of steering mode: curve or straight.
• Leica Geosystems satellite receiver included.
• Free Firmware updates by personal computer.

The machinery first traces the perimeter of the field to be treated. SIRIO collects all data and stores it into memory. At the end of the course, it signals to the operator that he is nearing the initial track. After marking points A and B of the straight line that will be used as a reference, the whole plot can be treated by parallel tracks. During the process, SIRIO will give the operator instructions by means of LED bars and messages on the display.

The treatment continues by parallel lines to the previously marked points (A and B), which are equidistant. SIRIO will indicate any deviation and provide information on display to take the farm equipment to the correct point, indicating the appropriate moment to steer the machinery to proceed to the next parallel track. The work can be carried out at different intervals because SIRIO is able to take the operator back to the exact point where the previous treatment ended, indicating the tracks that have already been treated.
