Abstract: Provided is a communication management system for a surveying instrument. The system includes: a surveying instrument including a survey unit configured to survey a target, a control unit configured to control the survey unit, and a communication unit connected to a communication network; a management server capable of communicating with the surveying instrument; and a remote terminal capable of communicating with the management server, wherein the remote terminal makes maintenance settings for the surveying instrument and cancels the maintenance settings, and stores the maintenance settings and cancellation of the settings in the management server, the management server gives a notification to at least one of a user and an administrator that the surveying instrument is in a state requiring predetermined maintenance work according to the maintenance settings, and when the maintenance settings are canceled, stops the notification.

Abstract: A technique is provided to enable low-cost control of amounts of fertilizer applied. A control device controls a currently used agricultural machine that applies fertilizer to a crop while traveling through a field. The control device includes a growth data receiving unit, a fertilizer application amount value calculator, and a speed signal generator. The growth data receiving unit receives growth data that is obtained by sensing a growth condition of a crop at each location in the field. The fertilizer application amount value calculator determines an amount of fertilizer on the basis of the growth data. The speed signal generator generates a speed signal to cause the agricultural machine to travel at a speed corresponding to a variable value of an amount of the fertilizer to be applied at each location in the field.
