SAP (Soluciones Agrícolas de Precisión S.L.) is a corporation (SME) created on October 2007 as an university spin-off, which has the goal of developing a system of integrated management of the agricultural operation, based on a new set of tools applicable to agriculture (GNSS technology, sensors, UAVs, software, actuators, and controllers). This new set of tools allows: a) Evaluation of field condition (crop sensors, soil compaction, humidity, CEa, nutrients, solar radiation, etc.). This knowledge allows decision making with greater precision; b) These decisions (density of sowing, intelligent sprayers, variable rate application, etc.) are then executed with greater efficiently; c) Evaluate of results are obtained in detail, in relation to the handling of the harvested crops. The company has also the mission of to improve the traditional agricultural management in Spain, introducing new techniques based on Precision Farming, this is, guidance systems, yield monitoring and variable rate application. By actually using this type of equipment in our own business it has gained us a great deal of knowledge of how the equipment works and how we can help our customers utilize and benefit from the various GNSS hardware & software products we offer.  SAP is constantly striving to offer the latest precision farming technologies, as well as providing our customers & growers with the best possible service and support in the industry. SAP is Trimble, Onmistar and RDS Tech dealer in Spain, Portugal and North Africa since 2008 (more than 1000 customer and 18 sub-dealer). Another responsibility is to prepare and introduce the research done in the University of Seville and Córdoba, area of Agricultural Engineering, between our agricultural technicians as well as teaching/assisting the farmers on this kind of tools.
