Import the map into the controller

Introduction

The ABZ exports are compatible with the L & S series. To export the Targeted Operations to ABZ drones:

  • Go to Export, Operations.
  • Select the Operation to be exported.
  • Select ABZ innovation ( L & S series).
    • After selecting the brand, the prescription map is automatically upsampled to an 8m cell size, as required by the drone.
    • Adjust rate or cell size if needed. 
    • Click Export.
  • Select the destination folder and click Select folder.
Two folders will be created:
    • Boundary: Contains the mission boundary limits. It is useful for exporting a field’s boundaries or for specific cases where spot spraying is feasible.
    • Rx: Contains the prescription itself. It is suitable for most applications and supports Variable Rate Application.

On the right-hand sidebar under Color to rate (l/ha), the system displays the dosage values assigned to each color (e.g., Green: 10.00 l/ha, Red: 40.00 l/ha). Review these values to ensure they match your agronomic plan. You can manually adjust the flow rate for each zone directly in this panel if necessary before starting the mission.
