Digitize machinery to digitize agriculture

15.02.24.

The agriculture sector is at an inflection point. There is a pressing need to increase competitiveness to ensure its viability as a business. This challenge is not new, rather it is historical, but it is now magnified by increased production costs and decreased performance due to climate change.

Given this reality, agriculture needs tools to automate processes and optimize resources. And that means implementing the collection and use of data derived from your activity. That is, it implies going digital. But for digitalization to be truly effective in making agriculture profitable and sustainable, it is essential to implement it at all levels, in all activities and for all the agents involved.

Although it is true that digitalization has already entered agriculture, it still does not have a general and homogeneous penetration. It is implemented in field management and crop control, but it is not yet implemented in the management of agricultural machinery and the control of its use. Machinery can provide very valuable information and this can be exploited to optimize processes and resources throughout its entire value chain:

• detect design flaws and implement improvements in manufacturing
• avoid breakdowns
• optimize the use of consumables (fuel, oil, parts)
• prevent theft...

Currently there are some solutions to digitalize the management of agricultural machinery, but they are complex and expensive because they are created by and for companies with high resources that market high-cost agricultural machinery, especially tractors and automotive machines. But the reality of our country is that there are a high number of medium and small companies that manufacture, market or manage towed or suspended machinery, which has a lower cost, for which the entry barriers to digitalization are difficult to overcome.

At Batsi we believe that it is necessary to democratize digitalization at all levels of agriculture and make entry barriers lower so that no one is left behind. Only in this way will agriculture be truly sustainable, in economic and also environmental terms. That is why from the beginning we proposed BatsiCloud as an accessible, practical and flexible tool. With an affordable cost, easy to use and adaptable to the reality of each company.

Digitizing agricultural machinery will be key to the future of agriculture. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of the change. We make it easy for you!
