RFID Tracks Harvest Operations

Intelleflex and Minds Inc. collaborate together to integrated GPS, RFID and wireless communications technologies into a solution that enables real-time visibility into the field harvesting process. ...

... "Using this solution, growers and harvesters can track the exact location, timing and efficiency of each harvester, as well as the arrival, loading and departure time of crop transport vehicles. The harvesting of crops is a time-sensitive operation that requires coordination between growers, harvesters and transportation vehicle operators to obtain the maximum yield from each harvest. Reliance on current manual tracking methods can hinder coordination and slow work flows in the field, adversely impacting product quality. Using the Intelleflex and Minds’ solution, GPS units and RFID readers are mounted on harvesters to track their whereabouts in the field as well as the arrival, loading and departure times of transport vehicles. The information is then transmitted wirelessly for immediate access anywhere, anytime – over the web and mobile phones. " ...
