Improving efficiency and sustainability
Modern technologies help manage various aspects of farming operations to make day-to-day life easier and efficient. Farmer’s to-do lists are constantly growing with great pressure to increase productivity, so any help to minimize work time and maximum results are highly desirable.
INDUSTRY SOLUTION
Automated Agriculture
Systems can be implemented that can feed, monitor and harvest crops, from the seeds all the way to the sale. Automation integrates the capabilities of sensors, computers, feeding mechanisms and robots to create a self-sustaining system.
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID)
RFID gives the capability to read invisibly from several feet away in the dirt. RFID can also be reprogrammed, hold large amounts of data with information such as date & time and location, increasing customer trust and loyalty by allowing them to trace the origin of purchased products.
Livestock Tracking Software
Various location-based tracking software can be implemented to provide essential data. For example, tracking individual cattle’s movements can help farmers identify ill or injured livestock while also improving traceability.
Remote Monitoring
Remote monitoring systems can save farmers time and effort by providing instant feedback and responses for critical tasks. For example, farmers can now monitor various things such as livestock water points, water troughs and tanks over an app on their mobile phones.
