Embratel has introduced a pioneering solution, Smart Field by Cromai, aimed at revolutionizing weed management in soybean and sugarcane fields. This Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution employs Deep Learning to accurately detect and classify weeds that pose threats to crop yields.


Utilizing images collected during drone flights over designated areas, the AI system processes data through a sophisticated deep learning algorithm with over 150 million references. This allows for precise identification and categorization of various weed types, including vines, broadleaf plants, castor beans, and grasses of different sizes.


The analysis results are presented on an interactive georeferenced map, detailing the exact locations of each weed species and providing infestation classifications by layer. Moreover, it indicates the percentage of areas where herbicide application is unnecessary, enabling farmers to make informed decisions based on effective data. This not only optimizes resource usage but also boosts productivity while reducing environmental impacts associated with herbicide application.


Adriano Rosa, Executive Director of Embratel, highlighted the company's plans to expand the solution's usage to other crops in the near future. He emphasized the agricultural sector's demand for innovative solutions that support effective weed management and preparation of soil for future crops.


Technical support teams are available to assist with solution integration and configuration with client drones, facilitating seamless implementation. Additionally, the solution enables farmers to generate detailed spraying maps for use with any drone or sprayer model, optimizing operations and allowing workers to focus strategically on other initiatives.


Eduardo Polidoro, Claro's IoT Director, emphasized the solution's continuous evolution based on AI, ensuring increased accuracy over time. This expansion into digital transformation in agriculture underscores Embratel's commitment to innovation and data-driven decision-making.


With its multifaceted benefits, Smart Field by Cromai extends beyond farm operations to benefit machinery providers, agricultural engineering services, herbicide suppliers, and agricultural insurance companies. By integrating their services with the solution, these organizations can offer more analytical and comprehensive approaches to their clients, thereby enhancing efficiency and effectiveness across the agricultural sector.


The launch of Smart Field by Cromai marks a significant step forward in agricultural technology, promising to enhance productivity, sustainability, and efficiency in crop management practices.
