Quality, high performance, and reduced impact on communities are key criteria in our work in the field. The production cycle of eucalyptus is approximately six years. To supply the production of the mills, harvest is constant and predominantly mechanized. Our machine operators are aided by GPS (Global Positioning System) on-board computers, which make operation management more precise and safe.
In 2016, we implemented the Electronic Record, an automated data transmission system that allows for remote monitoring of the harvest. Information such as crop yield index, machine performance, and possible contingencies are transmitted via Wi-Fi or digital radio to the integrated information system. In places where there is no Internet coverage, data from the forest machine are stored in a smartphone and transmitted at a later date.
This novelty is part of the initiatives of the SMART Forest Program, a strategy that proposes new technology solutions for Fibria's forestry operations. The objective is that over the next five years all technological portfolios selected will be included in the operation with the maximum possible connectivity and, thus, providing more intelligence to our forest management. These advanced knowledge and process platforms will enable us to improve jobs in the field, reduce risks and achieve exponential gains in operational productivity.
