Vicon updates spread chart app

Fertilizer spreader manufacturer Vicon is revamping its app and website for finding spreading charts. It should work faster and easier after the update. If you want even more convenience, you can opt for the integrated app on the spreader terminal.

You can look up spreading charts for your fertilizer spreader digitally these days. This can be done via a website or via an app. Vicon from Nieuw-Vennep has taken care of both. After looking for the right fertilizer, the application guides you through the settings of your spreader in 4 steps.

"The app (smartphone or tablet) must above all be simpler and therefore faster," says product manager Jos Heinen. "In addition to the entered settings, the previously entered data and spreading advice are saved. This allows you to work faster and more efficiently."

Vicon has its own 'spreader knowledge center' at its factory in Nieuw-Vennep, where it tests new types of fertilizer itself. These are put in the application to keep it up-to-date. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices.

AutoSetApp
If you don't want to work with a website or app, you can also opt for the integrated 'AutoSetApp'. It installs Vicon on the Isomatch Tellus Go or Pro terminal. Geospread spreaders adjust their settings automatically. The non-Geospread weighing spreaders can also take over this data automatically. Only the outlet opening has to be adjusted manually.
