Climate FieldView Announces Android Compatibility

To boost the benefit of rural producers and access to new technologies aimed at the sector, Bayer launched Climate FieldView for Android. The solution, created to simplify and make field data collection more accessible, seeks to democratize farmers' access to the functionality, considering that around 80% of Brazilians use the Android operating system, according to research on the Statista website.

The application, which will be available first-hand in Brazil from 2024, is part of the range of solutions from Climate FieldView, the German multinational's digital agriculture platform, which already has more than 25 million hectares mapped across the country.

The news was presented during the seventh edition of Impulso Bayer Talks, with the theme "Digital Agriculture", the first in partnership with Climate FieldView. During the event, aimed at customers with three stars or more in the company's loyalty program, both Bayer, partners and other market players shared relevant content and insights on the latest innovative trends and perspectives for the agricultural sector.

In addition to the Android application, Climate FieldView also announced two other tools for this next harvest: FieldView Máquinas and new reports aimed at crop protection. FieldView Máquinas will be available for purchase or redemption through Orbia and will bring, in aggregate, various data on agricultural equipment such as fuel consumption, hours worked, average speed, etc. The sub-plot report, a tool currently available to users of the FieldView Plus plan, now includes pesticide data, allowing producers to more efficiently analyze their applications.

Other company solutions were also presented to help rural producers have more productive crops, such as Bayer Valora for corn, Bayer Directo for Nematodes and PRO Carbono, in addition to Bayer's strategic partnership with Microsoft, as explained by the area director of the company's customer experience, Vinicius Faião.

According to Climate FieldView's product marketing manager for Latin America, Luiz Vicenzi, the objective of the FieldView Cab version for Android is to democratize access to relevant field data. “The launch arose from conversations with farmers across the country, who expressed the need for Climate FieldView tools to also be compatible with Android”, he concludes.
