Tech/Engineering - Computers: Hardware
German term or phrase: Jobrechner
In a publicity (but technical) article about a very sophisticated combine harvester:

"Neben dem XXX-Sensor arbeiten auf einer modernen Erntemaschine Systeme für die Ertragserfassung auch GPS Empfänger zur aktuellen Standortbestimmung,
Kartierungsrechner und ein Jobrechner".

There is unfortunately no further reference to what the "Jobrechner" does.

Thank you for your help.
