At the beginning of the 1990 s the first efforts were made in agricultural engineering to standardise the communication between tractor and implement across manufacturers.
To promote international acceptance and awareness of ISOBUS technology, various agricultural equipment manufacturers, including PÖTTINGER, formed the AEF (Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation) in 2008. Together, the consortium is successful in optimising the way hardware and software work together across different brands.
PÖTTINGER is a member of several organisations that promote intelligent solutions for digital and networked agriculture and want manufacturer-independent standards.
AEF (Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation): Focus on ISOBUS, farm management and information systems (FMIS) and more
CCI (Competence Center ISOBUS): Development of innovative agricultural electronics
DKE-Data GmbH & Co. KG (Daten, Kommunikation und Entwicklung): Development of the agrirouter as a cross-manufacturer and cross-product data exchange platform
