"CLOUDFARMING SOLUTIONS DELIVER BENEFITS TO GROWERS, SUPPLIERS, WORKERS AND END CONSUMERS"
PRODUCTIVITY
​Improved productivity outcomes for all users, including:
-
Worker management - reduced work exertion and improved worker comfort (noise, exposure, ergonomics, safety), incentivisation, worker speed matching.
-
Lower operational costs - including machines, maintenance, mechanical staff, overheads, as well as better supply chain predictability leading to improved product forecasting, transport and storage cost savings.
-
Improved crop management - reduced crop damage (reduced row hopping, machine damage, soil compaction and product waste), increased packout and improved quality control (less product exposure, worker damage, time of ground, exposure to oil/pollutants)
-
Yield forecasting - improved management oversight of productivity, sales forecasting and distribution
-
Yield optimisation - management of inputs, long term yield improvement, GPS monitoring
-
Farm management - click of the button reporting for key metrics, customisable solutions, reduced overheads.
-
Semi-autonomous harvest platform with no need for tractor and driver
TRACEABILITY
​Transparency and accountability throughout the supply chain
-
Advanced worker management - fair and transparent pay in accordance with regulation, hours of operation, visa compliance, worker identification/recognition
-
Improved industry relations - FairWork, National Union of Workers, WorkSafe, supermarkets, farmers
-
Complete supply chain traceability - recording and forecasting product and inputs (labour, chemicals, water, fertiliser, machines), point of harvest accuracy
-
Quality control - product quality traceable to individual worker/farm/field/row/plant
-
Inventory management - packaging optimisation, chemical stores, product inventory
-
Machine oversight - visibility of machines in operation, their status/battery life/capacity, who is working each machine
-
Tracking at the click of the button
FLEXABILITY
Adaptable solutions that are simple and functional for all users
-
Product adaptability - range of crops, range of harvest machines, range of worker configurations, range of harvest tasks, range of software offerings
-
Customisable solutions for individual farms - working with users to create value add
-
User friendly interface for all users, picker interface, farm management interface, traceability interface
-
Scalable - quick to scale up, reconfigure, remobilise and transport
-
Ongoing on-site training and support solutions (servicing) for continuous operation and improvement
-
Powerful information outputs
-
Simple and functional solutions
-
Easy implementation and support solutions
SUSTAINABILITY
Safe, innovative and environmentally sustainable farm solutions
-
Reduced product waste - less damage to crops, better supply chain predictability leading to improved product forecasting and resulting in transport and storage cost savings
-
Environmental benefits - battery and solar power, low carbon footprint, no oil/diesel combustion, contamination or emissions, reduced water and chemical consumption
-
Better management of farm inputs - assists forecasting and optimising the use of water, fertiliser, herbicides, pesticides
-
Reduced field damage - improved row clearance, low weight and reduced wheel thickness resulting in less compaction and row damage, workers encouraged to pick individual rows
-
Worker comfort - low noise, low dust, low vibration, ergonomic loading, sun shade, lower exertion/kms walked, improved communication between workers
-
Safe - auto stops, collision detection, field speed control/limiting
-
Recycle - endeavour to reuse or build on existing products where possible (environmental and financial benefits)
