Estudo da aplicação da tecnologia 4.0 na produção de cana-de-açúcar.

Abstract

Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugarcane, the industrial plants which work in processing have as their biggest source of revenue the production of sugar or ethanol. Due to the growing growing evolution in the cogeneration of electricity produced from sugarcane bagasse, technological advances have brought great benefits to the sugar-energy sector. With the use of modern equipment in the sugarcane plantation, there was an increase in the plant's production, in addition to reduction of costs, labor and better environmental preservation. Thus, this work is necessary to study the implementation of 4.0 agriculture in the cultivation of sugarcane. In this work, data from sugarcane fields in the northwestern region of Paraná were analyzed. The experiment plant has around 30,000 hectares cultivated with sugarcane in this region, in a subtropical climate and soils with low and medium clay content, originated in the Cauiá sandstone. The images were collected through the Landviewer platform, which provides daily satellite images, NDVI indices among others that, when crossed with information from the plant, enable different types of agronomic analysis. The main results found were through field monitoring, which allowed the identification of frost effects on sugarcane by the RGB and NDVI biomass index, in addition to monitoring activities such as spraying and hours spent per activity on the property. Through this work, it is concluded that satellite imaging technologies, such as Landviewer, and systems, such as Solinftec, contribute to the sugarcane sector as well as any other agricultural activities, so that producers can optimize the use of equipment and labor, reduce costs and promote greater competitiveness.
