The Fight Against Crop Losses Caused by Temperature and Humidity Variation

The vibrancy of movements in large agricultural corporations has a significant impact on Brazil’s production. Factors such as inadequate operation, improper environmental control, and the lack of suitable storage space contribute to an estimated loss of up to 15% of grain production. According to the study “Grain Losses in Brazil and Worldwide,” released in early 2023 by the National Supply Company – Conab, this is the reality faced by producers.

The Effect of Weather Conditions on Agriculture

Grains, including corn, soybeans, and coffee, have their growth and post-harvest durability directly affected by weather conditions. According to Giordania R. Tavares, CEO of Rayflex, a Brazilian leader in the production of rapid doors for the industry in Brazil and Latin America, it is crucial to recognize that the storage location must provide ideal conditions for each product.

“It’s crucial to realize that, despite current technology, agricultural producers still face losses that can be significantly reduced through smart solutions, such as the use of automatic doors,” states Giordania.

The Role of Automatic Doors in Agriculture

In warehouses located in open areas, for example, a frequent challenge is the wind. Although it may seem harmless, strong winds can accelerate the spread of pests, which can quickly devastate crops. With this in mind, Rayflex offers the Vectorflex door, a solution designed for outdoor environments, capable of withstanding winds of up to 60km/h.

“This is a product designed for large spaces with high foot traffic, being ideal for protection against rain moisture, dust, and pests,” clarifies Giordania.

Automatic doors, besides functioning as a sanitary barrier, play a crucial role in workplace safety. In areas with heavy traffic of people and machines, it is necessary to be vigilant to avoid accidents. To this end, Rayflex offers devices such as radar, photoelectric cells, traffic lights, among others, focused on user safety.
