A Aiko, A Minas Gerais Startup for Management and Automation of Equipment Used in Planted Forest Areas, Announced the Development of a Project to Connect Eldorado Brasil’s Machines.

A company with about 260 thousand hectares of eucalyptus in Mato Grosso do Sul and also a factory producing 1.8 million tons of cellulose per year. In 2021, the company controlled by Grupo J&F had a revenue of R$ 6 billion.

“This is an innovative solution, extremely beneficial, and cost-effective,” says Aiko’s CEO, Rafael Pereira.

The estimated area with planted forests in the country is 9.5 million hectares, with 70.1% concentrated in the South and Southeast regions. There are about 7.3 million hectares of eucalyptus and more than 1.8 million of pine, according to the 2021 IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) survey on Production of Vegetal Extraction and Silviculture.

In general, in its projects, Aiko uses three types of connectivity: mobile networks (3G and 4G), Wi-Fi, and also M2M collectors. In the case of Eldorado, due to all the characteristics of its operation sites, these M2M collectors and Wi-Fi are the ones that require good connectivity the most, to make these projects and data processing more dynamic and timely.

This technology being developed consists of a mobile structure, which features a satellite network antenna from Starlink, a company of Elon Musk, being even more efficient than the market average, according to the Startup.

“Thus, the machines communicate with the tower via Wi-Fi and send all processed data from that onboard computer to the server instantaneously via satellite,” explains Pereira.

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Car dealerships avoid these used cars like they’re bombs: famous engines, problematic belts, and expensive transmissions can turn a common purchase into a huge loss in the USA.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

More than 160 million gallons of water, equivalent to 240 Olympic swimming pools, need to be pumped to remove a 100,000-ton nuclear aircraft carrier from dry dock; each of these ships undergoes a complete overhaul costing US$2.8 billion.

With installments starting from R$ 999 per month, a 75 hp 1.0 engine, a 7-inch TFT digital panel, and standard stability control, the Citroën C3 is the cheapest hatchback in Brazil in 2026 and still leaves Kwid, Argo, and Mobi behind in onboard technology.

China buys more than 100 million tons of soybeans per year, and more than 70% of this mountain of grains comes from Brazil, which broke export records in 2025, while the tariff war between the US and China pushed Chinese buyers directly to Brazilian ports.

A bulk carrier bound for Brazil only managed to cross the Strait of Hormuz after accepting the route imposed by Iran, because days earlier the Iranian Armed Forces had blocked the passage of the same vessel.
