Beeline Technologies is the first company to commercialise hands-free steering for tractors and the third generation of this technological revolution, the Beeline Steering Assist Controller, was recently honoured with the prestigious AE50 Award from the American Society of Agricultural Engineers.

This was the first year Beeline entered the awards for the best new ag products. Applicants represented both new and advanced technologies intended for producing, processing, storing, researching, packaging or transporting agricultural food or other biological products.

The award-winning Beeline Steering Assist Controller is a fully integrated, hands-free steering product designed to conform to the reliability and cost requirements of agricultural machinery OEMs. It is the only platform to offer the integration of a dual frequency GPS receiver, L-band OmniSTAR correction receiver, ISO 11783 capability and the GPS/INS (global positioning systems/inertial navigation system) steering controller into a single unit. This has enabled significant cost reductions and reliability improvements making the technology attractive to mainstream agricultural OEMs.

Beeline suits all popular steering systems including electro-hydraulic (ISO 11783 and non-ISO), closed-centre hydraulic, open-centre hydraulic, load-sensing and load-reactive steering systems.
