Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF)

On October 28th 2008 seven agricultural equipment manufacturers and two trade associations set up the Agricultural Industry Electronics Association (AEF) with the aim of creating an independent international body for the industry. The AEF focuses the resources and knowledge of its members toward enhancing the use of electronics in the farming sector. From the beginning a number of important subjects surrounding ISOBUS and control system safety have been addressed.
