Automation in agriculture is revolutionizing the way in which agricultural activities are managed.
Using advanced technologies such as drones, robots and sensors, farmers can monitor crops in real time, optimize the use of resources and improve productivity.
Automation not only increases efficiency, but can also contribute to more sustainable agricultural practices, reducing environmental impact. It is an ever-evolving sector and offers many opportunities for the future of agriculture!
Acero srl together with its subsidiary Bellini srl and thanks to the collaboration with its partner suppliers has developed solutions for its customers, from the study and analysis of the problem, to the design and construction of electrical panels and identification of sensors to be applied on vehicles towed by tractors or autonomous
The collaboration [with the manufacturer of Arcobaleno tunnel sprayers of Bertoni srl of Castel Bolognese leader] is significant in the production of versatile, efficient machines that are able to effectively recover pesticides not intercepted by vegetation and reuse them, at the same time increasing the deposit.
Safety and efficiency have made it possible to create SELF-LEVELLING machines, suitable for being driven on sloping terrain.
The processing by the SIEMENS plc of the signals coming from the field detected by SICK ultrasonic sensors and GEFRAN inclinometers make it possible to compensate for the slope of the ground by acting on the hydraulic actuators.
Acero srl and Bellini srl have been offering solutions for the agricultural sector for years, trying to bring simple, reliable innovation that is easy to manage by users.
The global challenge on food involves the availability of quality agricultural products, in adequate quantities, produced with low environmental impact, to be transformed and made available ready.
This is why the frontier of technology application in agriculture is strategic.
Some examples:
- Precision agriculture: This practice uses data and technologies such as GPS and sensors to monitor and manage crops more precisely. This allows farmers to optimize the use of fertilizers, pesticides and water, improving yield and reducing costs.
- Drones and satellite imaging: Drones can provide detailed images of fields, helping to identify problems such as plant diseases or nutrient deficiencies. Satellite imaging provides a broader view of farm conditions, allowing for better planning.
- Robotics and automation: Robots are becoming increasingly common in farming operations, from planting to harvesting. These devices can work more efficiently and reduce the need for labor, also addressing the shortage of workers in the sector.
- Artificial intelligence (AI): AI can analyze huge amounts of data to predict yields, optimize farming practices, and even suggest the best crop varieties to plant based on weather and soil conditions.
- Biotechnology: Innovations in this field, such as genetically modified crops, can lead to plants that are more resistant to disease and adverse weather conditions, helping to ensure food security.
- Sustainability and Regenerative Agriculture: Technologies that promote sustainable agricultural practices, such as crop rotation and the use of cover crops, are gaining attention. These practices not only improve soil health, but can also increase biodiversity.
In summary, technological innovation in agriculture not only improves efficiency and productivity, but also contributes to more sustainable and responsible practices.
It's an exciting time for agriculture, and there are many opportunities for the future!
