[Trending News] SEAL SYSTEMS Implements high capacity Wi-Fi in agribusiness at aurora

Due to the demand of consumers and customers from developed countries, monitoring production and traceability in the food chain is an increasing demand from Brazilian agro -industries. Therefore, the Aurora Coopone of the largest agricultural cooperatives in the country, implemented a connectivity project to cover the entire plant of the factory located in the municipality of Chapecó (SC).

The connectivity project was implemented with the aid of Seal Sistemastechnology integrator that also meets Agro players such as BRF and Piracanjuba. In the case of Aurora, the need was to implement high capacity Wi-Fi access points to support decision making in 28 thousand square meters area.

The Aurora industry was reopened in April last year, after investments of around R $ 587 million focused on improvements in the degree of automation in chickens production. With exports to UK, United Arab Emirates (EAU) and European Union (EU), factory revenues surpasses the R $ 86 million per month.

In an interview with TELETIMEVice President of Sales and Head at Seal Networks Business Unit, Ruy Castro, explains that one of the Chapecó (SC) industry challenges is the environment. To keep the approximately 278.3 tons of food produced per day healthy until the retail, the plant has temperatures of -30 degrees in certain spaceswhereas it faces extreme heat in other environments.

“The need for dawn was to have this control, both the production process, the notes, to have the information in real time, and the orders, to prepare the delivery strategy, as well as to have accessibility,” explained the executive. “And this environment is very aggressive for radio frequency. A factory involves aspects such as machinery, temperature and the presence of liquids combined with labor productivity.”

Seal performed an analysis of the site and implemented 32 external antennas produced by the Extreme Networksmanufacturer of US network infrastructure equipment.

Another six Access Points (AP) were inserted into the local corridors. In addition, the Extreme Cloud IQ (XIQ), a platform with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) that leads to corporate wireless network to the cloud.

Among the data that came to be accessed instantly with the support of technology are the production plan, disposal volume and reprocess, production volume delivered per hour, staff management, among other data necessary for management.

Technology is still able to implement changes in the connection automatically, redirecting the ability to access the demand at peak hours, for example.

“The whole network is smart with Machine Learning. If by chance, for some procedural reason, fold users from 10 to 20 in a given area, the APs understand that there is an overload and do the rebalancing to improve frequency,” says Castro.

Given the positive performance, Seal Sistemas also will implement complete connectivity projects in other Aurora industries in Brazil – Between dairy plants, pigs, poultry, meat processing, warehouses and farms, Aurora has 39 productive units.

Seal's next project with the company will be in the expansion of the factory in the municipality of São Gabriel do Oeste, Mato Grosso do Sul. The initiative should start over the next two months.

Integrator known in the market, Seal Sistemas has a portfolio consisting of more than 2,000 companies in strategic sectors of the economy, such as retail, logistics, industry, health and education. In addition to Ia and Machine Learning, the solutions go through Cloud, Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT).

According to the head of the Seal Networks business unit, The company has registered growth at a two -digit rate over the last few years – A rhythm that was faster during the pandemic because of the boom of technology investments. In a period of technological transition, Castro points out that most of the update projects aim at Wi-Fi 6e.

In the coming years, the executive believes that the interval for technological update of the networks will be less and less. “10 years ago, the life span of a network ranged from 10 to eight years. Today, the Lifetime of an operation reaches five years,” he says.

“It is very important that this update is done transparently. But we are in a very interesting time of this change,” he concludes. For 2025, SEAL expects to repeat growth above two digits.
