CNH Industrial signs partnership agreement to bring
state-of-the-art connectivity to Brazilian agriculture
The company has participated in the creation of
ConectarAGRO, a consortium of eight partners from the agribusiness
and telecommunications fields, whose aim is to bring open
connectivity solutions to all the agricultural regions of
Brazil
London, April 16, 2019
Thanks to both the increasing
professionalization of the agricultural sector and the advances in
machinery and technology, Brazilian agriculture has experienced
significant growth in the last 20 years, placing the country
amongst the sector’s global leaders. To prepare for the next
productivity enhancing step, Brazil needs to invest in ensuring
connectivity is brought to the entire agricultural sector. For this
purpose, CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI/MI: CNHI), in partnership
with seven other companies, has developed ConectarAGRO, an
initiative intended to consolidate and expand internet access
across all of Brazil’s agricultural regions.
This initiative will enable rural producers to
fully benefit from today's precision farming, digital and automated
technological resources, whilst gaining access to a full range of
new products and services enabled by connectivity, which will
result in business optimization. This initiative will further
optimize Case IH and New Holland’s agricultural machinery, CASE
Construction Equipment and New Holland Construction machines, and
IVECO commercial vehicles.
"The system will provide connectivity for the
entire farm fleet, bringing together equipment, people and other
devices under a single system," said Gregory Riordan, Director of
Digital Technologies at CNH Industrial, South America. “In this
sense, ConectarAGRO will be key to Brazilian agribusinesses as they
aim to further increase their global productivity and
competitiveness.”
ConectarAGRO will promote open and standardized
technologies, allowing more freedom and flexibility for the farmer,
the ultimate user of these technologies. This concept is what sets
ConectarAGRO apart from other technological solutions already
available – most of which follow a “closed” logic therefore
limiting interoperability of multiple systems, requiring higher
investments and complicating their large scale implementation.
PartnershipFor this initiative,
CNH Industrial has partnered with AGCO, Bayer, Jacto, Nokia,
Solinftec, TIM and Trimble. The diversity, competencies and common
interests of the companies involved, which have combined their
efforts in an unprecedented initiative, creates the environment to
better understand the issue of connectivity in the Brazilian
agricultural sector from different perspectives, thereby
facilitating an effective strategy to find solutions and benefit
domestic agribusinesses.
Each company involved in ConectarAGRO will
contribute its expertise and market experience to help create a
favorable ecosystem and improve and develop conditions for
connectivity in the sector. There will be no joint development
programs, nor production or marketing of equipment, products or
services by these companies, which will continue to operate
independently, without combining economic activities or sharing
risks or results.
The agreement to implement this initiative will
be entered into in accordance with Brazilian law.
