Armazenagem brasileira precisa de um upgrade tecnológico

Apesar da produção de grãos bater recordes sobre recordes, a capacidade de armazenagem no Brasil, não condiz com este aumento. E, dentro do que existe para armazenar, muitas unidades são antigas, mais de 20 anos de instalação, com equipamentos defasados pelo tempo e pelas tecnologias. Se, por um lado os investimentos em tratores, colheitadeiras e outros implementos que já contam com sensores multi modernos recebem boa atenção dos produtores, a área de armazenagem, que é onde ele vai guardar seu patrimônio colhido, não tem recebido a mesma atenção.

“É curioso observar a ordem de prioridade do produtor rural brasileiro quando se refere a investimentos feitos pela sua empresa. A primeira coisa que ele pensa, quando tem sobra de recursos é comprar terras, a segunda maquinário agrícola e. nos últimos itens, estão ou comprar um sistema de armazenagem ou renovar e melhorar o que já tem”, comenta Everton Rorato, diretor comercial da PCE Engenharia empresa com 19 anos de atuação e que nos últimos anos tem se dedicado ao setor de automação em equipamentos para o pós-colheita. Na visão dele, isto é um dos fatores que contribuem para a defasagem tecnológica que ocorre atualmente no parque de armazenagem brasileiro. “Só para ter uma ideia, nos últimos cinco anos, houve uma evolução muito grande em pesquisas e desenvolvimento de sensores, sistemas que captam informações do que acontece no ambiente de um silo ou de um armazém, na termometria digital, em conectividade, entre outros, mas isto não tem sido adotado por grande parte dos que atuam com armazenagem, criando uma defasagem bem significativa na gestão deste processo”, afirma Rorato.

O executivo menciona até que esta falta de atualização tecnológica acaba trazendo prejuízos ao armazenador. Segundo ele a gestão de armazenagem do grão demanda que o encarregado por esta função esteja bem atento aos vários fatores que acontecem no ambiente interno e externo de um silo. “Temperatura dentro e fora do silo, umidade relativa do ar, pressão atmosférica, tudo isto, por incrível que pareça, precisam ser medidos para saber se é ou não o momento de ligar uma aeração, por exemplo. E equipamentos defasados tecnologicamente podem fazer uma leitura errada de todos estes itens, passar uma informação errada e causar uma perda dos grãos ou de sua qualidade trazendo, ao final, prejuízo”, assinala o diretor comercial.

Rorato diz que foi olhando para esta situação que a PCE desenvolveu soluções de automação para o controle das condições de armazenagem dos grãos. A empresa tem na área de termometria digital um dos destaques do seu portfólio. Através deste sistema é possível acompanhar como anda a temperatura dos grãos armazenados, via um aplicativo desenvolvido pela PCE e, com base nestas informações, tomar a decisão mais acertada para o momento. Outra tecnologia desenvolvida pela empresa é um portal, disponível na nuvem e que o gestor de armazenagem pode acessar de onde estiver, e que apresenta as condições em que o grão se encontra dentro do silo/armazém. O sistema apresenta diversas informações de forma muito clara, produzindo um histórico de dados para consultar a qualquer hora. “É uma tecnologia que permite rastrear as condições de armazenagem dos grãos, auxiliando na tomada de decisões neste processo”, finaliza Rorato.

Inclusion and speed: the Brazil-Asia e-commerce revolution The growth of e-commerce in Brazil has been remarkable, driven by a combination of factors including increased internet penetration, the rise of mobile technology, and a growing middle class with higher disposable income. However, the relationship between Brazil and Asia in the e-commerce space is particularly fascinating, marked by rapid innovation, strategic partnerships, and a focus on inclusion. **Inclusion: Bridging the Digital Divide** One of the most significant aspects of the e-commerce revolution in Brazil is its potential to bridge the digital divide. In a country with vast geographical disparities, e-commerce offers a unique opportunity to reach underserved populations. By leveraging technology, companies can extend their reach to remote areas, providing access to goods and services that were previously unavailable. Asian e-commerce giants like Alibaba and JD.com have been instrumental in this regard. Through partnerships with Brazilian firms, these companies have introduced innovative solutions tailored to the local market. For instance, Alibaba’s AliExpress has made significant inroads in Brazil, offering a wide range of products at competitive prices. Similarly, JD.com has collaborated with local logistics providers to ensure efficient delivery, even in hard-to-reach areas. **Speed: The Race to Deliver** Speed is another critical factor in the Brazil-Asia e-commerce dynamic. Consumers today expect fast delivery, and companies are rising to the challenge. The competition to offer the quickest delivery times has led to the adoption of advanced technologies and logistics strategies. One notable example is the use of drone delivery. Both Brazilian and Asian companies are exploring this technology to enhance delivery speed and reach. For instance, JD.com has been testing drone deliveries in rural areas of China, and similar initiatives are being considered in Brazil. This not only speeds up delivery but also reduces costs associated with traditional logistics. Additionally, the implementation of automated warehouses and robotics has revolutionized the fulfillment process. Companies like Magalu (formerly Magazine Luiza) in Brazil have invested heavily in automation to improve efficiency and reduce delivery times. These technologies are often inspired by or directly imported from Asian e-commerce leaders, highlighting the cross-pollination of ideas and innovations. **Strategic Partnerships and Collaborations** The Brazil-Asia e-commerce relationship is also characterized by strategic partnerships and collaborations. These alliances are crucial for navigating the complexities of the global market and leveraging each other’s strengths. For example, Brazilian e-commerce platform B2W has partnered with Chinese payment giant Alipay to facilitate cross-border transactions. This collaboration not only simplifies the payment process for consumers but also opens up new markets for Brazilian sellers. Similarly, partnerships between Brazilian logistics companies and Asian tech firms have led to the development of more efficient supply chain solutions. **Conclusion** The e-commerce revolution between Brazil and Asia is a testament to the power of technology in driving economic growth and social inclusion. By focusing on inclusion and speed, both regions are setting new standards in the global e-commerce landscape. As this relationship continues to evolve, it promises to bring about even more innovative solutions and opportunities for consumers and businesses alike.
