The idea behind Bevine19 is to connect the world of technology with the world of wine culture so that people in the wine sector can have more information about what is happening in their plantations and make the most informed decisions possible. The idea is realized by placing sensors in the vineyards to extract meteorological data - temperature and humidity of air and soil, leaf moisture, rainfall, wind speed and direction. The data is processed and analyzed by the software part of our solution and visualized using our mobile application. This year we are at the stage of validation in 3 wineries, and the goal is to test as much as possible the model for diseases that we have developed so far and to improve it for the next season.
The Bulgarian technology company Ondo20 provides a system for automated control of drip irrigation, precise fertilization, climate control and monitoring for all crops. Through the system, farmers achieve up to 85% lower water costs as a result of precise management and control of water resources. Depending on the needs of farmers, Ondo can provide up to 50% lower energy costs, thanks to optimized consumption of electricity, diesel, gas and more. The platform is suitable for greenhouses, field crops, vineyards and orchards.
The Bulgarian company NIK21 has been supporting Bulgarian agriculture for over 18 years, providing solutions for precision agriculture in the field of agromanagement software and integrated agronomic services. The company also has its own academy, where it creates new staff in agriculture. The training center conducts theoretical and practical training to work with the latest technologies and equipment for precision agriculture.
As part of the Bulgarian examples in high-tech agriculture is the company ProDrone Sys22, which supports Bulgarian farmers by surveying the condition of agricultural soils by surveying with a drone. ProDrone Sys technology allows the survey of up to 2000 decares. With the help of their products and services in agriculture, not only time-accurate information on the condition of soils and crops is provided, but also a digital agronomic recommendation for: improving the chemical composition of the soil, protecting groundwater and eliminating human error. when performing field operations. The use of data from various sources in agronomic analyzes dramatically increases the productivity of agricultural production on large areas. In this way, the dynamic changes in the process of agricultural production will be reflected and worked off smoothly with the new generation of agricultural machinery.
The team of Sergey Petrov and Pollenity23 develops and assists Bulgarian beekeepers to extract data in near real time, turning hives into smart devices. Work on the idea began in 2015. Through their products, beekeepers can monitor parameters such as temperature and humidity, sending data to the cloud, as well as the frequency of vibration of bees. Beebot's algorithm analyzes and sends timely data, helping to give the necessary attention to the hive. One of the advantages of their devices is the need for a single battery that lasts between 6 and 8 months. Our sensor devices are entirely developed in Bulgaria and are used by customers and beekeepers on 5 continents. The company has launched the program "Aspen hive", connecting Bulgarian beekeepers and end customers looking for real quality honey. Their goal is to create a sustainable beekeeping sector in Bulgaria, ensuring fair pay for the work and efforts of beekeepers and at the same time offer quality products with guaranteed origin.
In recent years, we see examples of Bulgarian manufacturers that implement innovations worldwide in their production. Some such examples:
Agrotime, a leading producer and exporter of cherries to the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and others. The company's products are distributed in supermarkets such as Marks & Spencer and Waitrose. The company invests in a four-stream electronic line for sorting cherries with a capacity of up to 2 tons per hour. The cherries are packaged according to customer requirements, and the company also has refrigeration rooms and storage chambers in a modified atmosphere. The company is another example of Bulgarian examples in high-tech agriculture.
Another example - in a family farm in the village of Glufishevo 380 dairy cows are bred free-boxing and 10,000 decares of land are cultivated. To optimize the processes, farmers build a new animal barn and a building with a modern milking installation, as well as implement a management system that provides them with timely information about the entire herd. The milking parlor is also equipped with a selection door, which after milking can easily and quickly separate the cows for manipulations. It is also interesting that the farm uses a robot for feeding calves, as each calf has a built-in chip, it knows how much milk each animal must drink in a day and could monitor whether there is a calf that has not drunk its milk for the day.
There are also interesting projects with greenhouse vegetable producers. These are from the company "Agrostan", which develops a greenhouse for cucumbers in the village of Strazhitsa, and its plants are grown without soil, a method also known as hydroponic cultivation.
Another of our greenhouses of 6 decades in Sofia for the production of cucumbers has implemented equipment of the highest class - hydroponics, also uses a thermal screen, ventilators and a system for re-circulation of drainage water. In addition, the owner of the Sofia greenhouse has the ambition to use blockchain technology to monitor and easily guarantee the quality of the products. The data of the block chain will include information about what the plant feeds on, whether there are sprays, who picked it, on what date and additional information to be a quality certificate.
