DID YOU KNOW?

Roughly 65% of Africa’s population relies on subsistence farming

Subsistence farming, or smallholder agriculture, is when one family grows only enough to feed themselves. Without much left for trade, the surplus is usually stored to last the family until the following harvest. While subsistence farming is appealing to rural farmers because it allows families to be self-sufficient, it is heavily susceptible to climate change and works best when there is no drought or flood, which usually isn’t the case.

112 Sovereign Drive, Route 21 Corporate Park, Centurion, 0157 | 012 450 0400 Contact ifm Customer Support | info.za@ifm.com

Vitibot, based in Champagne, France, manufactures self-driving robots to work in vineyards. Before the grapes are harvested and used to produce a fine Champagne, the vines need to be cared for over the course of several months. An autonomously driving robot relieves the winemakers of this work. Eight electronic “eyes” in form of 3D cameras ensure an autonomous navigation through the vineyards. “Bakus the robot is capable of precisely spraying the plants at the right spot with exactly the right dose, which cut the amount of pesticides by half. This does not only save money but also preserves the environment” What makes Bakus unique is its autonomous navigation and obstacle detection. The vehicle is equipped with eight precise 3D cameras from ifm: two cameras at the front, back and on the sides. In order to navigate our machine safely, Vitbot wanted a solution that would work reliably by day and night. Ifm’s image sensor transmits a clear 3D image of the surroundings no matter what the light conditions are. The sensor creates a 3D image using PMD technology. Compared to laser scanners, the ifm 3D camera does not need moveable parts. Therefore, it is especially robust, small, light and cost effective. With the PMD technology used, the image sensor can work without being influenced by ambient light. Advantage: despite direct sunlight or complete darkness, the camera generates its 3D image. Vitibot Managing Director Cédric Bache adds, “It was a real challenge to put the 3D images together. In cooperation with ifm we found a solution that meets our needs.

Established in 2000, Heli-Tractor offers crop spraying, aerial fertilizer work, fire fighting and heavy lifting under slung loads.

Heli-Tractor is situated in the heart of the sugar area of KwaZulu-Natal. Not only is the owner a pilot but he is a farmer too - and understands what the needs from the farmers are and what they expect.

We are the only operator to use Electrostatic crop spraying in our helicopters which we guarantee to deliver more droplets on the crop than conventional sprays.

We also offer very high volume spray work (200lts plus per Ha) using a Bell Huey helicopter, of which it is the only one of its kind in RSA.

As we have the strongest Huey in South Africa, our split drop fire fighting bucket (only one in SA) delivers the greatest load of water at hot and high conditions thanks to the powerful and unique helicopter. Heli-Tractor is also the Africa agent for aerial buckets/hoppers for lime, fertilizer and fire fighting.

We are also involved in the WWF Rhino relocation programme which allows our Huey to carry these animals at great safety due to the abundance of power available.

We offer all these services across all parts of South Africa, as well as we operate throughout South America.
