EMBRATEL LAUNCHES PLATFORM TO DRIVE DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION IN THE FIELD
Smart Farm supports agribusiness with satellite
imagery services, telemetry, weather stations, soil sampling and
data processing
Embratel announces the launch of the Smart Farm solutions
platform to boost the adoption of connectivity and digital tools in
agribusiness. The new solution unites state-of-the-art
technologies and connectivity and was developed together with
Farmers Edge, which specializes in digital agricultural
solutions, to create an innovative, more sustainable and connected
ecosystem to support strategic decision-making in the field.
The platform includes high-resolution satellite imagery
services, weather stations, telemetry, soil sampling, data
processing with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, data
management application, as well as support and customized training
for farmers.
“Through Smart Farm Embratel works for its customers in the
field allowing them making decisions effectively about the various
stages of their business, from planting to harvesting”, says
Adriano Rosa, Executive Director of Embratel. According to
the executive, the objective is to help in the technological
development of agribusiness, providing modern solutions to ensure
greater quality, productivity and safety on farms. “We are very
happy to offer innovative solutions to this segment that is so
important for Brazil,” he says.
To support the implementation, trusteeship, and support of the
digitalization of farms, Embratel offers its technology
specialists, who are also capable of integrating other IT and
Telecom solutions according to the needs of customers in the field.
“Our experience in the sector can help increase productivity in the
field and make better use of areas,” explains Embratel’s executive
director, highlighting that Claro’s high-quality connectivity is
already embedded in the solutions to ensure continuous access to
agribusiness monitoring and management data. Systems can also
include Internet of Things (IoT) devices capable of running on
their own for the measurement of all fronts, including soil, water
quantity, and even fertilizer. “Our customers can benefit from a
complete offer to transform their agricultural business,” says
Eduardo Polidoro, Director of IoT at Claro.
The Smart Farm platform is available to the market with four
modules:
- Smart Imagery: provides high-frequency, high-resolution
satellite imagery, as well as unique maps of the farms. Through the
management of this data, the automatic detection of possible pests,
diseases, nutritional deficiencies, climatic injuries, application
failures, equipment malfunctions and drainage problems are made.
When recognizing a change, the solution automatically notifies the
farmer so that the necessary corrections can be made.
- Smart Insite: operates crop monitoring and digital
agriculture with a special focus on climate. The solution enables
and improves agronomic decisions through data capture in the field
and allows for predictive analysis and modeling. It consists of a
weather station that collects information on weather conditions,
such as humidity, temperature, precipitation in real time; and
offers high-frequency, high-resolution satellite imagery. In this
way, it is possible to have knowledge of the microclimate of the
property, better programming operations according to weather
conditions.
- Smart: the solution unites the technologies and
functionalities of the Smart Imagery and Smart Insite offerings,
adding the use of telemetry to monitor equipment, such as
harvesters, in real time. Telemetry allows tracking of machinery,
also providing route history and other indicators. Thus, operations
are monitored, enabling immediate adjustments in case of incorrect
use of equipment, such as inadequate traffic speed. It also allows
the identification of possible operational failures and fuel use
savings.
- Smart VR: the solution brings the functionalities and
technologies of the Smart offer, in addition to an agronomic
consultancy that performs soil sampling and analysis, enabling the
optimization and correct application of inputs, fertilizers and
correctives, through planting maps. The solution supports the
promotion of resource savings and the adoption of sustainable best
practices.
All these solutions have a management application that presents
in real time all the indicators collected by the tools, benefiting
the programming of operations and the performance of predictive
procedures to improve the harvesting process.
“We are excited to partner with Embratel in our mission to
modernize Brazilian agriculture. This strategic alliance will help
farmers make decisions with more information in hand, increase
productivity and drive efficiency in their operations,” said
Celso Macedo, Vice President of Latin America at Farmers
Edge.
“Our partnership with Embratel reflects our commitment to
providing best-in-class solutions that address the unique
challenges faced by farmers in Brazil’s rural areas and improve
digital adoption. Together, we are working towards a more
sustainable and digitally connected future for agriculture in
Brazil,” says Vibhore Arora, CEO of Farmers Edge.
