LeapMap: Your tool for executing high-resolution prescription maps

Accurately translate data layers into action at the plant level

Maintain 100% of your precision, from data to application

Plant-level farming demands absolute precision. To achieve this, you need two things: the exact position of the field sprayer and high-resolution data. With LeapBox, you have the hardware to dosage with absolute precision, and with LeapMap, you have the software to aggregate complex data sources and seamlessly translate them into field action.

LeapMap maintains precision down to a 25 x 25 cm level throughout the entire operation. As logical and self-evident as this sounds, maintaining this full resolution from map to plant is what makes the BBLeap system unique. The result? A software engine that directly brings data-driven spraying into practical use – for maximum chemical reduction and optimal yield, without compromising on capacity.

This creates a continuous cycle of sensing, executing, and improving. Every plant receives exactly what it needs – the foundation for Clean Food, Clean World.

“After you have loaded the task map into LeapSpace, it’s easy to send it to the sprayer computer. Then it’s also very simple since you have a few icons that you can tap.”

The essential bridge between data and execution

LeapMap is the essential bridge between data and hardware:

  • Excellent Spraying: LeapBox forms the core and executes the physical task with 100% accuracy.
  • Plant Precision Spraying: LeapMap is the software that:
  • Enables reading high-resolution prescription maps and executing them nozzle-by-nozzle on a  25 x 25 cm or 5 x 5 cm grid and
  • Records what you have actually sprayed when using prescription map. 
  • Real-Time Spraying: LeapMap’s data infrastructure integrates seamlessly with LeapEye. Imagery and detection data from LeapEye are directly converted into precise prescription maps for exact execution.

Real-time processing from GPS signal to individual nozzle

LeapMap is an extension of your existing GPS system and works closely with LeapBox. The system uses LeapSpace to build and manage data, combined with smart software on the LeapBox controller that processes and executes the prescription map in real time.

 

  • High precision: together with your existing GPS system, LeapMap (with the LeapBox) knows the exact position of every individual nozzle

  • Real-time calculation: The LeapBox controller reads LeapMap data at lightning speed. It can control up to 250 nozzles simultaneously and calculates the required rate up to 40 times per second.
  • Maximum precision in practice: Even when loading an external data source with a larger grid, LeapMap executes the Variable Rate Application (VRA) map in blocks of 25 x 25 cm or 5 x 5 cm.

Full control, from broadacre to orchards

 Whether you work with horizontal spraying in broadacre farming or vertical spraying in fruit growing, LeapMap understands your machine’s configuration.

    • Arable Farming (Broadacre): On horizontal booms, each nozzle functions as an individual steering point (reading position) for executing the prescription map.
    • Fruit Growing (Orchard): LeapMap understands the 3D structure of orchards. The system can independently control and record vertical spray sections on both sides of the cassettes based on the loaded map.

    Your knowledge leads to optimal crop care

    You know your field best. Via LeapSpace, you build a high-resolution prescription map by stacking different data sources, keeping your expertise in full control. You can easily configure how heavily each layer weighs in the final application rate.

    In LeapMap, you effortlessly process the following layers:

    • LeapEye Camera Data (‘As Detected’): Use your field sprayer as a mobile data collector. While driving, the system simultaneously maps field conditions. LeapSpace directly converts this ‘as-detected’ data into actionable prescription maps for a subsequent, highly targeted treatment via LeapMap. Ideal for Hi-Res Spot Spraying and for building confidence before switching to Real-Time Spraying.
    • Spotspray Maps: Maps created by drone images to treat only the crop or weeds in the field.
    • Variable Rate Maps: Maps generated by using drone data or satellite imagery to map biomass in your field. Also historical field data and soil maps can be used for a variable application on your fields

      LeapSpace integrates seamlessly with third-party task-map generation software, enabling the direct transmission of field maps to your BBLeap Sprayer.

     

    All your configured rules and layers can easily be extrapolated and applied with a single click to all your fields growing the same crop.

    Comprehensive crop logging without gaps or guesswork

    Execution is one thing; precisely documenting what happened is step two.

    • Full control: The actual sprayed quantities are fed back directly to LeapMap by the LeapBox. Applied dosages can range from 0% to 250% of the configured reference rate.
    • Accurate status recognition: The system accurately records the difference between areas that were not reached and areas where the machine did drive but intentionally did not spray (such as exclusion zones).
    • Seamless export: LeapMap seamlessly converts the stream of individual measurements into a clean and complete field overview. Every point on the map is based on actual application, resulting in an accurate as-applied map that you can easily share with your Farm Management Information System (FMIS) via API or file (e.g., shapefile/ISO-XML).

    Frequently asked questions:

    • How many nozzles can the BBLeap LeapMap system control simultaneously?
      The BBLeap LeapMap system, working together with the LeapBox controller, can control up to 250 nozzles simultaneously. It calculates the required rate for each individual nozzle at lightning speed, up to 40 times per second, based on your real-time position. This fast-processing power ensures maximum accuracy and prevents both over-spraying and under-spraying, making it highly effective for variable rate application in both broadacre farming and orchards.
    • In what grid sizes does BBLeap LeapMap execute prescription maps?
      BBLeap LeapMap executes high-resolution prescription maps on a grid of either 25 x 25 cm or 5 x 5 cm. Even if you load an external data source with a much larger grid, the intelligent software automatically processes and executes the Variable Rate Application (VRA) map in these ultra-precise blocks nozzle-by-nozzle. This ensures that every plant receives the exact amount of crop protection it needs, drastically reducing chemical use while maximizing your yield.
    • Which file formats does BBLeap LeapMap support for as-applied maps?
      BBLeap LeapMap allows you to export your comprehensive crop logging as a clean, complete field overview using standard shapefile or ISO-XML formats. Because the LeapBox feeds actual sprayed quantities directly back to the software, every point on the exported map represents the precise, real-time application in the field. This accurate as-applied data can be seamlessly shared with your Farm Management Information System (FMIS) via API or file export.
    • Where can I buy precision spraying software in the Netherlands?
      BBLeap offers advanced precision spraying software and hardware from its main office in Rijen, the Netherlands. Its LeapMap software bridges the gap between high-resolution data and physical execution, allowing Dutch arable and orchard growers to execute variable rate maps on an ultra-precise 25 x 25 cm grid. By integrating with local partners globally, the company ensures that progressive growers can easily install and configure these advanced solutions for immediate chemical savings.
    • How do I execute high-resolution prescription maps on my farm?
      BBLeap provides the exact solution through its LeapMap software, which translates complex data layers directly into nozzle-by-nozzle field action. The software uses your existing GPS system to identify the precise position of every individual nozzle, calculating the required rate up to 40 times per second. Whether you are using spot spray maps, biomass drone data, or variable rate maps, the system executes these tasks on a 25 x 25 cm or 5 x 5 cm grid to maintain absolute precision.
