Rostec's subsidiary holding company, Roselectronica, showcased its developments in agriculture at the "Russia" exhibition. These developments concern the increase in milk yield and crop yields.
"Your Harvest"
The Research Institute of Information Technologies (NIIIT), a subsidiary of Roselectronica, with the support of the Federal Scientific Center for Bast Fiber Crops, has developed a cloud solution that has been tested in experimental fields in the Tver and Tula regions, and is preparing for mass implementation.
It generates task maps for agricultural machinery, plans sowing operations and provides recommendations on the use of fertilizers. The implementation of the platform will increase crop yields, reduce equipment downtime, and reduce the cost of seed material and agrochemical products.
"ASU-AGRO"
This is a complex for farmers that will increase the efficiency of keeping cattle and improve the quality of milk. The complex was tested in pilot farms in the Omsk region. The launch of new equipment into mass production is planned for 2024.
The complex works with the use of a subsystem using the Internet of Things technology and an intelligent decision support module.
The module allows the operator to process large amounts of data and offers optimal recommendations on how to improve livestock, get quality products from it and reduce the cost of keeping it.
A digital genetic and breeding map of each animal is formed, and the system based on it will suggest the time and order of its veterinary and zootechnical maintenance.
The subsystem includes:
- RFID readers;
- automated operator workstation;
- software;
- livestock weighing complex;
- pedometer sensors and transponders that allow you to quickly monitor the health of animals;
- milk quality analyzer, which helps to make a decision on adjusting the diet and an automatic milking device.
However, not only Rostec's subsidiaries are engaged in the robotization and digitalization of farms. In particular, Tula's "SE" recently shared that it is preparing software and samples of robotic milkers that will be able to work around the clock, relying on cow biorhythms. During the day, such a robotic milker will be able to get milk from about 80 cows.
