Technological Integration Expands Efficiency in High-Power Harvesting and Agricultural Infrastructure
Case IH and Brasif Agro implement integrated automation systems to optimize productivity and real-time monitoring in the agribusiness sector.

Agricultural machinery manufacturer Case IH, a CNH group brand, operates jointly with dealership Brasif Agro to introduce an integrated ecosystem of digital infrastructure and high-power automation. The cooperation aims to meet the specific demands of the MATOPIBA region (Maranhão, Piauí, Tocantins, and Bahia), which requires scalable technological solutions to address logistical and operational challenges, such as short cultivation windows and the need for high mechanical availability.
The partnership combines the manufacturer's manufacturing engineering capacity with the dealership's logistical capillarity and technical support. This integration is essential to enable the large-scale implementation of highly complex connected fleets.
Technical Solution and System Architecture
The core of the technological solution is based on the Axial-Flow AF10 Automation axial combine harvester. The equipment's industrial system utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms connected to onboard sensors to perform autonomous management of the harvesting process. The mechanisms execute up to 1,800 daily self-regulation interventions in the machine's internal systems, assuming control of up to 90% of operations without requiring human interference.
The system architecture includes the following technical specifications and interfaces:
- Transmission and Power: Motorization of up to 775 hp integrated with a transmission engineered for the specific conditions of tropical agriculture, increasing the reliability of mechanical components.
- Connectivity and Telemetry: Centralized remote monitoring via the FieldOps Portal and latest-generation monitors, which utilize real-time data processing to evaluate performance.
- Field Automation: Automatic headland maneuver features and communication protocols for sharing application maps between multiple machines.
To ensure continuous feeding of the threshing system, the machinery integrates MacDon Draper FD2 articulated grain headers of up to 61 feet. The production of these headers was localized at the manufacturing facility in Curitiba (PR) following an investment of 100 million reais in assembly line upgrades, ensuring greater technical standardization and facilitated access to replacement parts.
Implementation and Infrastructure Logistics
The practical application of the systems occurs with field engineering support for integration with existing fleets. Complementarily, CASE Construction Equipment and dealership Technico integrate internal infrastructure solutions for farms, using wheel loaders equipped with native telemetry systems. These devices enable predictive maintenance of access roads and contour lines through the analysis of fuel consumption and operational performance data.
Applications and Productive Impact
The technological validation of the integrated systems was presented in detail at the Bahia Farm Show, held in Luís Eduardo Magalhães (BA). The combined use of onboard automation and digital monitoring results in greater process stability, optimized fuel consumption, and reduced machine downtime, establishing smart building systems and agricultural fleets as the efficiency standard for large-scale grain production.
