AgJunction and Swift Navigation Form New Partnership

Companies aim to develop highly accurate, low-cost, near-autonomous small tractor solutions

AgJunction Inc. (TSX: AJX), the Autosteering Company™ ("AgJunction"), announced today that it is partnering with Swift Navigation to develop near-autonomous small tractor solutions for agricultural applications with high accuracy and at a reasonable price point.


This partnership will combine autosteering technology pioneered by AgJunction and the Duro® RTK GNSS receiver from Swift Navigation. The research resulting from this partnership will ultimately lead to lower cost autosteering products with high accuracy.

"Duro, and the robust RTK GNSS positioning it delivers, is a source of pride for Swift," shared Tim Harris, CEO of Swift Navigation. "With a mission to enable a future of autonomous vehicles, we strive to bring that autonomy to farm equipment — such as small tractors — at an affordable price for farmers and partnering with the renowned autosteering expert AgJunction helps make that a reality."

"AgJunction and Swift have been groundbreaking in their respective fields," said Dave Vaughn, President and CEO of AgJunction. "I'm eager for what the future holds and how we can further deliver low-cost autosteering and navigation while delivering high accuracy down to a centimeter."
