TURIN, Italy – November 13, 2017 – Topcon Agriculture introduces TAP, the Topcon Agriculture Platform, a cloud-based agricultural ecosystem designed to provide real-time monitoring and data analysis for smart decision making during every phase of the farming cycle.                                                                                                                                      

“The platform is part of our goal to provide advanced, smart and connected agricultural management solutions by integrating high-precision hardware, software and data.
