Verge continues to build partnerships around the world. Based out of Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Tecgraf Technologies has entered into a strategic combination with Verge Agriculture. This transaction brings the powerful geoprocessing and path planning features of AgroCAD® into Launch Pad and Verge Ag’s intuitive, web-based farm operations planning interface into AgroCAD®.  Launch Pad software tool lets a producer plan, simulate and optimize their on-farm operations in one simplewindow.

Tecgraf is the leading developer of computer aided design solutions for agricultural applications with customers in 12 countries utilizing its AgroCAD® software on approximately 10 million acres of farmland. 

What does this mean for current and future producers around the world?

As a completely web-based tool that does not require any additional software or purchases to use, a producer can easily consider and balance operating considerations to minimize field operating time, number of turns or distance, and soil erosion potential while managing year over year traffic patterns, and implications of one operation on the efficiency of another.  With the transaction, Launch Pad will also provide curved-path alternatives, guess row optimization and turn automation across all major agriculture equipment and guidance manufacturers.

About Verge Ag

Verge Ag is a team of entrepreneurs, rocket scientists, programmers, farmers, data scientists and deal-makers who are focused on accelerating the transition to autonomous farming. While a lot of attention has been paid to the hardware aspects of autonomous farming, operational planning and coordination transcends all hardware solutions and is necessary for autonomous operations to become reality. Our software is focused entirely on this gap, allowing users to gain the benefits on their operations today while bridging the gap for when autonomous machinery is adopted at commercial scale tomorrow.
