Agriculture 4.0: how 5G technology and the use of data promise to transform agribusiness in Brazil

To the new technologies are promoting the rapid expansion of the internet in throughout Brazil and innovative services in rural production environment. Agro is now tech. The auction of 5G frequencies, designed to serve distant areas, should benefit the agribusiness. Our producer, of any size, will have the right to equality of opportunities and that is the greatest equality we can have in Brazil. The countryside is experiencing the era of digital transformation and, for continue as one of the main driving forces of the economy Brazilian sector, the sector has invested in Agriculture 4.0.

O The term Agriculture 4.0 is used to define agribusiness with the use of cutting-edge technology. These are equipment technological technologies such as software, robotics, global positioning system (GPS), drones and other tools to reduce costs and increase profits from rural production. The new one came from the countryside. What has to innovation, technology, what really goes in space competitive, which arouses global geoeconomic and geopolitical interest It's agriculture. Today, if any head of state, anywhere of the world, wants to be sure of the food security of its people here in 20 years, you will have to set aside a seat for Brazil. And the the only reference topic in which we will be included in the discussion.

O Agribusiness represents almost 30% of Brazilian GDP. During the pandemic, the sector did not stop and had to adapt to a smaller contingent of workers. It was then necessary to reinvent itself. A Agriculture 4.0 works with the use of machines, vehicles autonomous vehicles, drones, robots and sensors in animals and plants. Information can be collected and sent to a cloud, where they form a valuable database that allows for much better decision making it needs. This system is known as smart agriculture or smart agriculture, and has gained attention from producers and investors.

We have several examples of startup entrepreneurship in the sector agricultural sector, allowing access to incubation opportunities, acceleration and investments. The use of Artificial Intelligence, together with other technologies such as the Internet of Things, Big Data, cloud computing, connectivity, robotics, autonomous vehicles, sensors, drones and satellites, has been promoting transformation digital in the field. With more information and knowledge in real time, industries and institutions linked to agriculture have more support in decision-making for your business, aiming for profitability, security food, quality and respect for the environment.

New data integration technologies = increased revenue

Companies innovative systems focused on agriculture, create solutions computational methods, optimization methods and artificial intelligence to help define the best time to sale of beef cattle. On average, the increase in profit producers reaches 30%. Additionally, there is a 12% improvement in standard of carcasses, 22% in feed conversion and reduction of up to 25% in pollutant emissions. They developed a technology that monitors the performance of cattle within the farm — being a trader with market and industry information, which improves the profitability of the operation by up to 27%.

Of that way, investing in technologies applied to processes, such as security of data, is already a reality in this segment. When adopting security mechanisms to protect data, in addition to protecting the brand and business, it is also possible to improve controls internal, ensuring better reliability in the exchange of information with customers and suppliers. After all, all the information will be protected and available remotely.
With data protected by effective security systems, it is possible to predict situations and make more assertive decisions for the harvest planning, for example, and preparing the next planting.

Protecting this information - through data security - increases its level of reliability, creating new possibilities for business growth through information technology. Data security prevents various threats and cyber intrusions or even human errors, which tend to cause major administrative and economic consequences.

These innovations will improve consumers' lives and make work easier producer. Technology companies have acted way to improve the lives of millions of people. We have this purpose very strong, which drives our company. The producer is part of this process because technology ends up improving the use of its resources natural and has a totally different 'approach' from what it has today. It is a service process increasingly entering the field and improving the efficiency of use of these resources. This is essential for the next generations.
