Crop monitoring

Assessments are based on a variety of activities that closely monitor crop development. We collect and analyze data at every stage, enabling us to highlight and evaluate key factors and attributes that can influence crop productivity.

These smart assessments are applied to sugar cane, soybean and cotton plantations, where fields are visited and areas measured. Each plantation or property is analyzed to understand its physical characteristics and topography, verify its historical yields and monitor the various stages of the plantation from seeding to growth and harvesting. From these results, we estimate the harvesting time and crop yield.

 “To keep track of the product and maintain its high quality throughout its life journey”

In addition, we can transport the harvested product from the fields to the storage facility or processing plant for proper traceability. This allows you to keep track of the product and maintain its high quality throughout its life journey. We can also provide pest management services if needed.

With the growing demand for smart agriculture, new technologies and IoT have been introduced, allowing farmers to monitor agricultural conditions from any location. This is applicable not only to large farms, but also to small- and mid-size farms.
