Solutions
Increased Productivity and Reduced Costs
BRAIIN is a technology company providing solutions to the problems faced by hard-working farmers feeding the growing global population, the greater agriculture industry and resource companies exploring for minerals to power the future.
Labor Costs
Labor accounts for over 60% of agriculture costs, with this forecast to increase further as farmers struggle to meet the demand of an ever-growing global population, creating a strain on food supply and diminishing profit margins.
BRAIIN’s drone technology automates crop spraying and has been proven to reduce labour costs by up to 10%.
By allowing farmers to complete an entire crop spray in 30% of the time it would normally take, they can redistribute the workforce to more cost-effective tasks that increase productivity.
Pesticide and Fertilizer Costs
Pesticides, Herbicides and fertilisers are high;y susceptible to volatile supply chain factors in the global economy, and farmers struggle with the ever increasing costs. Fertilizer prices alone have increased as much as 300% since early 2021, due to dramatic increases in the prices of nitrogen, liquid ammonia and other common ingredients.
The use of BRAIIN drone and analytics and artificial intelligence technology has been proven to lower fertilizer, pesticide and herbicide usage by as much as 50%.
Crop Yields
Agriculture margins are being squeezed from every angle with rising costs and falling margins.
Braiin’s drone technology works in tandem with its advanced artificial intelligence and analytics platform, allowing farmers to identify land health, irrigation and other issues, to increase average crop yield per acre by assisting in field productivity zoning. By identifying areas with the highest and the lowest productivity, BRAIIN has shown it can increase crop yields by up to 25%, while lower associated costs and increasing revenues.
On tea plantations alone, BRAIIN technology has been proven to increase crop yield by as much as 36%.
Worker Safety
Farm work is inherently hard and sometimes dangerous, with workers exposed to multiple potential hazards including pesticides, fertilizers and machinery.
BRAIIN’s automated spraying technology reduces exposure to harmful chemicals and physical strain on the body, and also serves to remove some workers from close proximity to related equipment and machinery, reducing liability and insurance-related issues, increasing morale and productivity and shoring up the bottom line.
BRAIIN technology moves, on average, three workers per hectare to safer jobs. With our current contracts, BRAIIN is moving 75,000 farm workers from hazardous jobs to safer jobs.
Water And Climate Change
Agriculture is a known cause of water scarcity and also a major casualty of reduced water tables. According to a recent study, agricultural water scarcity is expected to increase in more than 80% of the world's croplands by 2050.
BRAIIN drones deployed for aerial spray have been proven to also save water - with savings of between 85% to 92.5% of water usage per hectare.
Using artificial intelligence working from drones mapping with spectral cameras, farmers can also identify diminished water tables and more arid land, areas prone to erosion and other land health factors. This technology is employed to help farmers reduce their water usage and increase soil preservation by reducing erosion and inefficient irrigation. All of which creates more yields and revenue.
Mapping & Identification
Mapping for the agriculture and resource industries is costly and time consuming, generally employing laborious on-foot examinations of large areas following fly-overs in planes or helicopters.
Drone technology and artificial intelligence can effectively map and survey large areas in a fraction of the time and at minimal cost/. BRAIIn technology uses geotechnical sensors and thermal/spectral imaging combined with machine learning to identify prospective mineral targets and provide land-health analysis for crop planning and rotations. In the resource industry, BRAIIN is currently engaged in a trial program with industry leading Rio Tinto in Western Australia.
Wireless Connectivity
A continual issue in remote mining and agriculture operations is the internet connectivity needed to communicate, conduct business and operate equipment.
BRAIIN’s wireless connectivity and Internet of Things operations provide the reliable access needed to effective operate and monitor equipment and processes. In combination with BRAIIN’s blockchain technology, farmers will also soon be able to get access to integrated, agricultural specific financing solutions and next generation payment gateways to streamline business, from any device, in any location.
