Since the new millenium arrived, automatic pilots came into the country, its adoptions started to increase constantly. And if they have not made a bigger bang is because of lack of information and general missconceptions of their benefits.

In 2010 Plantium launched the SBOX Steer, the first national automatic pilot, with a mechanical actuator that works on the steering wheel. Later came our hydraulic solution, SBOX SteerH, and after that SBOX SteerH, with an electrical actuator engaged directly to the steering column.

It is important to producers and contractors to find a compatible brand with their needs and the machines that can be found in the country, often decades old. That is why the automatic pilot must be a tool that fit perfectly with their steering wich present an understandable wear. Plantium had them in mind to design every guidance system in the catalogue.

Nowadays demand of automatic pilots is increasing constantly, mainly because of agricultural companies and institutions such as INTA, CREA, and AAPRESID promoting their benefits. Their biggest one being, their use has no cons. Every labor shows a big difference between manual and automated steering, because of improved quality in the job, and considerable time and product input savings. The future of automatic pilots is nothing short of bright.
