SAIL Reverse Pitch @ AFTEA 2023, in partnership with CNH Industrial

In partnership with CNH Industrial, SAIL is organising a ‘reverse pitch’ session at the Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia (AFTEA) 2023. CNH Industrial is a world-class equipment and services company that sustainably advances the noble work of agriculture and construction workers. CNH Industrial provides the strategic direction, R&D capabilities, and investments that enable the success of its core brands, including Case IH and New Holland. 

 

CNH Industrial has partnered with SAIL to find solutions to two of their Challenge Statements:

 

  1. Bale labeller: CNH Industrial is seeking to co-develop a component to be installed on their balers that can measure key parameters (e.g., weight, moisture content, geo-coordinates) during baling and apply a suitable ‘label’ on the bale. The captured information should also be stored in an online database which could be referenced through the applied label.
  2. Crop residue nutrient analyser: CNH Industrial is also seeking to develop a component for measuring various nutritional parameters present in crop residues. These include dry matter, crude protein, acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), ash, crude fat, and sugar.

 

Additionally, CNH Industrial is on the lookout for innovative ideas and solutions in the areas of:

 

  1. Controlled environment agriculture (CEA): CNH Industrial is interested in scaling and applying novel farming technologies to outdoor farming, particularly in the field of robotics and automation. 
  2. Smart soil technologies: CNH Industrial is seeking for sensors that can detect and monitor various soil parameters such as nutrient levels, soil organic matter, moisture, and pH. The company is also looking to pair these technologies with digital platforms and cloud-based data analytics to improve input usage efficiency.
  3. Smart water management technologies: CNH Industrial is also seeking smart irrigation solutions for moisture monitoring and irrigation scheduling to optimise on-field water management.

 

If you’re a startup or researcher actively engaged in the above areas, do join us at AFTEA 2023 to learn more about CNH Industrial’s innovation needs and explore opportunities for collaboration and co-innovation.
