What is PCT Agcloud?

PCT Agcloud is a cloud-based software solution for precision data creation, management, and analysis to deliver customized outcomes for agronomists and growers to better manage their fields.

Agcloud offers a simple yet robust user interface that is both logical to use for the precision ag beginner and extremely powerful for the true precision ag specialist. 
 

It is available to partners to use as is, to connect to the API and build a unique UI, or any combination that makes sense for their operation.

Tools: 

PCT Agcloud offers a fleet of powerful precision software tools that enable you to efficiently create prescriptions, trials, and zoned layers as well as run analyses, edit layers, view imagery, and more!

The View tool in PCT Agcloud operates as a home base for your PCT account. It houses many shortcuts to frequently used tools within PCT, and it has many capabilities, including the ability to view fields and layers side-by-side using the ‘Multi-Viewer’ feature or overlayed by adjusting the opacity of the layers. The View tool also allows you to manually import data, view imagery, and run comparisons between layers. To learn more about these capabilities and much more, click HERE.

The Setup tool in PCT Agcloud allows you to add/edit Growers, Farms, and Fields, adjust subscriptions and connections, import and edit guidance lines, create season plans, and more. To learn more about the Setup tool, click HERE. 

Prescriptions can be created within the Rx tool, the View tool, or through links contained within integration partners like Operations Center™ and Agworld. There are both Formula-based and Manual prescription tools available. For the Formula-based tool, Formulas can be created and edited freely within the Add/Edit Formulas tool.

• Soil Sampling

Within the View tool, soil sample plans can be created, and the plans can be viewed on the PCT Sampling app. Click HERE to learn more. 

Zone/Locate houses tools to create irrigation pivot boundaries, plot soil moisture probe locations based on various layers, zone and combine layers, and zone layers using k-Means Clustering. Click HERE to learn more.

The Analytics tool allows you to run specialized correlations for Yield, Soil Points, and Strip Trials. The Yield tab allows you to run correlations between Yield layers as well as other layers and create combined layers from those correlations. The Soil Points tab allows you to run correlations between Soil Sample and Soil Survey layers and create new functional continuous layers, such as estimated Soil Clay, pH, CEC, Na%, and many more. The Strip Trial tab enables you to analyze trial layers as well as other layers to compare against Yield and Imagery layers. Detailed reports, including financial analysis, can then be generated and downloaded from the tool. Click HERE to learn more. 

PCT has a very advanced Data Editing tool that allows you to take control of your data. Most of the functionality within Data Editor is applied automatically to imported data, but you can further edit your data afterwards as you see fit. The Data Editor tool also allows you to create additional layers. For example, if a layer was mapped using RTK, you can create elevation and several elevation derivative layers in Data Editor.

• Configuration

The Configuration tool allows Org Admins to set Dealer and Grower level settings, including auto-process filters to be applied to imported datasets and custom legends for layers. Click HERE to learn more. 

The Reports tool contains multiple pre-made templates for specific reports, and your own logo can be added to the finished reports. Many of the reports can be run up to the Dealer level. Click HERE to learn more.

• Snapshot

Snapshot is a basic viewing tool that is available to some lower-level user roles. It allows for the viewing of layers and imagery, as well as Manual Rx creation, depending on the user role. Click HERE to learn more.

Integrations

The John Deere Operations Center™ integration allows for both manual and automatic upload and download of data between. PCT users can have machine data automatically flow into their PCT Agcloud account, and they can push back cleaned data, prescriptions, imagery, zoned layers, soil data, and more into their Operations Center™ account and directly to machines. On layers sent to Operations Center™, links to PCT tools like Manual Rx and 3D View are available. Within the integration, users can access their Operations Center™ product list, add Formula Rx layers to Work Plans, or create new Work Plans with Formula Rx layers. Importing and exporting of Field boundaries can also be done between the two systems. Click HERE to learn more.  

• Panorama

The integration with Panorama allows for manual importing of machine data from Panorama. Click HERE to learn more. 

• Slingshot

The integration with Slingshot enables manual importing of data and manual or automated exporting of prescriptions. Click HERE to learn more. 

The integration with Climate allows PCT users to easily import data by entering a link obtained from Climate FieldView Plus into the data import window in View. Click HERE to learn more.
