Bourgault Industries is proud to announce the release of Bourgault Intelligent Control (BiC). A tremendous technological leap for the pioneering agricultural equipment company, this innovative seed controller is fully wireless within the tractor cab. BiC combines simplicity and intuitiveness along with advanced features, options, and integration with OEM tractor monitor controls. Introduced to dealers at the Bourgault Seeds for Success event in Phoenix, AZ, Bourgault Intelligent Control promises to be a pivotal technology change for Bourgault Industries, its dealership group, as well as its customers.

Designed with simplicity at its forefront, Bourgault Intelligent Control (BiC) has been in development for 5 years by the R & D team at Bourgault’s research facility in Saskatoon, SK. The BiC system itself has been utilized by co-operators to seed successfully tens, and tens of thousands of acres over the past three seasons. Known internally as “Team BiC”, the engineers at Bourgault’s R&D facility conceptualized, designed, and developed all aspects of the innovative seed controlling system. “Team BiC” built the ECU’s and harnessing, designed and programmed the firmware, software, and user interface. BiC was also developed to have fully integrated compatibility with OEM tractor monitor’s task controllers, which was a key requirement for many customers.
