New technology partnership with AvMap expands KIOTI
tractors with ISOBUS, navigation, Task Control, telematics and optional RTK
auto-steering
Rotterdam, The Netherlands - 1st May 2026 – Daedong KIOTI Europe B.V. announces the
introduction of precision farming solutions in its HX and RX Series tractors.
The phased market rollout will begin in the second quarter of 2026, expanding
KIOTI’s Utility and Small-Ag tractor ranges with advanced implement
connectivity and integrated precision farming capabilities.
The new solution, FARMNAVIGATOR, applies to the RX
Series, KIOTI’s Utility tractors from 66 to 74 hp, and the HX Series, covering
the Small-Ag segment from 91 to 140 hp. Developed in cooperation with Italian
technology partner AvMap, the system has been specifically tailored to KIOTI RX
and HX platforms.
ISOBUS is based on the international ISO 11783
standard, enabling seamless communication between tractors, implements,
terminals and farm management software. By establishing a common electronic
language across manufacturers, compatible implements can be controlled through
a single in-cab terminal while reducing the need for additional control units.
The system also enables structured recording and
processing of work data, supporting increasingly digitalized farm operations.
“By introducing precision farming solutions for the
RX and HX Series, we are making our tractors even more versatile and
future-ready,” says Douglas Kang, CEO of Daedong KIOTI Europe B.V. “Our
objective was not simply to add an interface, but to deliver a practical
solution that combines connectivity, automation and precision in a way that
brings tangible benefits to professional users. Together with AvMap, a system
has been developed to support our customers' daily operations.”
The ISOBUS solution was developed in Europe together
with AvMap, an Italian specialist in navigation, telematics and smart
electronic systems. Founded in 1994, AvMap has evolved from professional
aviation navigation systems into a provider of satellite navigation, fleet
management, precision farming technologies and IoT solutions.
“We are thrilled to support KIOTI during this phase
of growth in the European market,” says Simone Lazzarini, Managing Director
of AvMap. “By adopting FARMNAVIGATOR, KIOTI delivers a complete ISOBUS
ecosystem developed and manufactured in Italy through an automotive
cybersecurity-certified process. The FARMNAVIGATOR kit — from auto-steering to
telematics — is eligible for European digitalization incentives, offering a
concrete advantage for dealers and farmers choosing KIOTI.”

Integrated Digital Work Environment
At the centre of the system is the 12-inch terminal,
which serves as the primary operating interface. Acting as a Virtual Terminal
for ISOBUS implements while integrating navigation, documentation and
connectivity functions, the system simplifies in-cab operation and improves
workflow efficiency when working with modern implement fleets.
Task Control enables documentation of work orders and
field operations, supporting digital farm workflows and data exchange with farm
management systems. The FARMNAVIGATOR 4G Agri TMS platform facilitates cloud
connectivity, ISOBUS data handling and workflow management.
Supporting the Digitalization of Utility and Small-Ag
Tractors
By combining ISOBUS connectivity, navigation, Task
Control, telematics and optional RTK auto-steering, KIOTI addresses the growing
demand for digital functionality in compact and mid-range tractors. The solution
is designed for mixed farms, grassland and forage operations, municipal users,
contractors and small- to medium-sized arable farms operating modern
implements.
The phased introduction of ISOBUS equipment for KIOTI
RX and HX Series tractors will begin in the second quarter of 2026. Detailed
information on model availability, equipment packages and compatible functions
will be provided through KIOTI’s European dealer network.
