App Profile: Panorama by Precision Planting

Rating: 2/5

Although Panorama is a work in progress, several key features are still falling short of expectations in harvest tracking. 1. Pass Merging Still Non-Functional When multiple harvest machines are selected that are running Passmaster, the system only displays harvested acres, yield, moisture, and other performance metrics for a single machine. These values are not currently merged across machines. If the “multiple pass” checkbox is selected, all corresponding data points (acres, yield, moisture, etc.) should be aggregated and displayed as field totals. Without this, the feature loses much of its intended efficiency. 2. Acres Remaining Display Under the Harvest tab, there should be a field-level “acres remaining” counter. This value should automatically subtract from the total planted acres in the field as harvest progresses. Having this metric would allow operators and managers to better plan logistics (truck scheduling, bin capacity, crew timing) in real time. 3. Landing Page Simplification The home page could be streamlined to make quick glances more useful. For example, under Recent Activity, if multiple machines are in the same field, their activity should be combined into one entry instead of listed separately. Additionally, whether a machine is planting or harvesting, it would be helpful to see simple metrics such as: current field, acres left, average yield, and average moisture. Presenting these metrics clearly would make it much easier to monitor progress and machine performance at a glance. Precision has gotten the hard part correct with accurate data collection. However, the software implementation and usability could be improved fairly easily, which would make the platform far more powerful for growers.
