The introduction of AI and IoT in harvesting and transportation has helped organizations achieve a massive amount of efficiency and productivity.
FREMONT, CA: One-third of the production costs of getting sugar from sugarcane is consumed in harvesting and
transportation. Companies introduced various applications of AI and IoT to extract more efficiency from the processes. Since usual factories manufacture more than 2 million tons, companies face challenges each day to minimize costs. It has become the need of the hour as harvesting and transportation have already consumed 30 percent of the total production cost.
By optimizing the harvest, companies can narrow down the production costs and achieve the expected goals, and automate various processes. To boost the efficiency of the operations, companies brought AI and IoT into the system.
Field Mobility:
Companies have a vast number of workers and machinery that produces tons of sugar cane in just a day. The energy needed is generated from the burning of leftover residues of sugarcane after processing. Organizations took the first step into the digital world by using tablets instead of handwritten notes, gaining significant operations. It also helped the workers and employees bring mobility in the fields and agricultural equipment. The implementation of technologies to bring mobility has added value to the industry by digitally involving professionals with tablets in their hands.
Data in Real-Time:
By leveraging IoT, transport tractors connected with onboard computers can interact with the harvesters. The machines communicate mutually, and by using machine learning, they carry out calculations and record the travel time, tipping time, routes, and appropriate equipment. It allows the data to get exchanged and processed while transmitting it to a cloud server via the internet. Everything in the new development can be monitored in real-time and gradually helps facilitate and reorganize the decision-making processes. AI drives the system by sending dispatch trucks to the point of harvest automatically and also eliminates issues dealing with low yield.
Digital Authentication:
The registration of harvest per truck was done manually by the managers, but with the help of technologies, it is now digitally certified. The process eliminates the potential mistakes that a human recording or authentication could commit and prevents a considerable loss.
