Feeding the future through innovation: Wirepas and GrowLogic

#News(AgriTech) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]

Grow Logic has created an autonomous labour and harvest tracking system with Wirepas Mesh at its core, providing reliable and real time data. This ensures that they can offer horticultural growers solutions to improve traceability of the harvested produce, improve procedures and increase productivity for the workers on farm. This system ultimately provides quality produce being delivered in a timely manner to the consumer, leading to further sustainably by reducing waste.
Farm data, being collected with pen and paper, is susceptible to errors and manual data entry is time consuming. Workforce expenses are growing exponentially, leaving the industry calling out for automated and more reliable data collection methods to:
· Collect inventory data
· Collect soil, plant and environmental data
· Collect condition data on the goods
· Collect movement and locational data
· Monitor picker efficiency
· Track assets (tractors, forklifts and other major assets that need to be used as efficiently as possible)
Due to the insights obtained by this automatic data collection system, several different alerts can be created to detect problem situations such as extended heat exposure or mishandling in the harvest phase, eg: crates and boxes of produce that have been handled roughly need to be detected in time to minimize loss. These measures increase the quality and quantity of produce that will arrive to consumers in prime condition, with the goods being traceable all along the supply chain.
