Challenges


Inaccurate inventory control leads to both out-of-stock situations and excess inventory


There is a need to manage agricultural products using data to ensure high-quality cultivation and reliability


There is also a desire to reduce the man-hours spent on data management tasks

RFID x Drones for Efficient Production Management

By attaching RFID tags to crops and seedlings, cultivation data such as temperature and fertilizer usage, pre-shipment inventory status, and post-shipment tracking information can be centrally managed.

In addition, drones can be used on large farms to streamline the RFID reading process and reduce the workload on staff.

RFID x Drones for Efficient Production Management

Example of proposed use of RFID in banana fields

RFID management of banana fields.
Bananas tagged with RFID will be managed using RFID-equipped drones and other equipment.

plantation

RFID tags (KuKuRu Tag®) will be attached to each banana sapling to manage its growth.

cultivation

During cultivation, data on climate, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. are obtained from RFID tags. We will manage the site as we update it from time to time.

harvest

The order of harvest is based on the data that is managed. Efficient harvesting is possible.

Drone equipped with RFID reader

Drones equipped with RFID readers can be used to check for bananas that have fallen unharvested or have been leaked from the harvest.

Sortation

Reuse RFID tags to sort harvested produce by size and weight.

Labeling and shipping

RFID labels are printed with the information of cultivation data and weighing data, and are attached to packing boxes for shipping.
