Success Story

Improved Crop Monitoring & Fuel Savings

Success Story

Faster Emergency Response

Success Story

Minimized Planting & Harvest Downtime

Challenge

A large farming operation needed rugged devices for field managers collecting crop data and controlling irrigation systems from remote, dusty, and sometimes wet locations.

Solution

The organization equipped field staff with Panasonic TOUGHBOOK laptops to support GIS software, inventory tracking, and sensor data access directly in the field.

Results

The TOUGHBOOK’s durability and reliable performance in harsh conditions helped streamline operations, improve crop monitoring, and reduce trips back to the office, saving both time and fuel.

Challenge

Agricultural sites can involve heavy machinery, chemical handling, and unpredictable weather—posing risks to worker safety.

Solution

Emergency alert features and GPS-enabled radios allow workers to instantly notify supervisors of incidents and provide their exact location.

Results

Faster emergency response and improved worker protection help create a safer, more compliant agricultural workplace.

Challenge

Unexpected equipment failures, communication gaps, and limited access to data in the field can lead to costly downtime, especially during critical operations like planting, harvesting, or shift transitions.

Solution

Equipping teams with two-way radios ensures instant communication between operators, supervisors, and technicians, while Panasonic TOUGHBOOKS provide rugged, mobile access to equipment diagnostics, maintenance logs, and workflow software — right at the point of need.

Results

Field teams respond faster, troubleshoot more efficiently, and stay connected to both people and information, significantly reducing downtime, increasing productivity, and keeping operations moving when every minute counts.

What TOUGHBOOK works best for farms and ag operations?

Use BAYCOM’s “Find Your Toughbook Solution” tool to select the best model for your farm size, terrain, and rugged needs.

Or talk to an expert to find the right Panasonic TOUGHBOOK model for your operations.

Do radios work across large properties or in remote areas?

Yes. BAYCOM designs systems with extended-range coverage using high-power repeaters or LTE connectivity. Even in hilly or rural zones, your team stays connected during planting, spraying, or harvest.

How do radios help with harvest or irrigation coordination?

Two-way radios allow real-time communication between combine operators, irrigation teams, and bin site staff, reducing equipment idle time, avoiding confusion, and keeping seasonal work on schedule.

Are radios safe to use around heavy equipment or livestock?

Absolutely. BAYCOM radios feature rugged housings, hands-free accessories, and emergency functions that support safe use around tractors, grain dryers, or livestock zones.

How do TOUGHBOOKs help manage field operations?

Panasonic TOUGHBOOKs are ideal for tracking crop data, controlling irrigation systems, managing work orders, and accessing GPS mapping tools. They’re dustproof, drop-resistant, and operable in rain, glare, and cold — built for real-world ag conditions.

Can TOUGHBOOKs connect to ag-specific software platforms?

Yes. TOUGHBOOKs run common ag software like Ag Leader, John Deere Operations Center, or Trimble. You can connect to wireless networks or hotspots in the field and sync data with office systems or cloud storage.

Can TOUGHBOOKs be mounted in tractors, trucks, or UTVs?

They can. BAYCOM offers vehicle mounting kits for tractors, sprayers, and side-by-sides. This allows operators to view field maps, diagnostics, or chemical logs while staying mobile and hands-free.

Does BAYCOM offer video surveillance for barns or storage areas?

Yes. We provide weather-rated video systems for barns, shop yards, chemical sheds, and grain storage sites. Smart alerts and remote access allow you to monitor property activity around the clock.

What support does BAYCOM offer for agriculture customers?

BAYCOM provides nationwide ongoing support through our certified service centers, along with remote troubleshooting and priority repairs. In addition, the BAYCOM technical team can assist with TOUGHBOOK updates, or your representative can work with Panasonic to update your device as needed. 

Can BAYCOM systems scale as our farm operation grows?

Absolutely. BAYCOM’s communication and mobile computing systems are scalable, allowing you to expand across new acreage, facilities, or teams without replacing core infrastructure.
