WATCH THE VIDEO 07 Solix uses artificial intelligence to give farmers true, real-time information to operate their farms at peak efficiency It’s not just a black-and-white yes-or-no response to your farm; the ALICE AI will show the farmer “when” and “how.” For example, while the federal governments of the US and Canada have both instructed segments of the industry to reduce GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions, they did not tell those involved in ag how to do it— just sort of figure it out on your own, or there will be consequences that even the government hasn’t mentioned yet. Since farmers have long been good stewards of their land, utilizing the ALICE AI can also be used to reduce your carbon footprint. Because the ALICE AI can be integrated into all of the processes on your farm to better understand how things can be improved, it understands the business of your farm from pre-planting to post-harvesting. Again, the farmer is the final arbiter of deciding how things should be done, but ALICE AI still provides advice on when it is the best time to perform each operation, as well as to autonomously direct inputs, equipment, machinery, and labor. Let’s be honest: ALICE AI has no feelings and thus does not truly care about people or things, nor can it grow emotional feelings. However, it has been programmed to care—or at least to provide the best advice possible based on all the current knowledge it has found. Is that caring, or is it just programming? Programming. According to Solfintec, the ALICE AI can handle your farm’s property regardless of size, the complexity of the chains, inputs, or even equipment brands. It’s a onesize-fits-all solution that works on your behalf to help you operate your farm at optimum efficiency. And isn’t that the ultimate goal of every farmer? Watch the video below featuring Léo Carvalho, the Chief Global Strategy Officer for Solinftec, as he discusses his company’s robotic, autonomous spraying solutions for large-scale agriculture and ALICE AI. | pag ANDREW JOSEPH FARMS.COM
