30–40%
Post-harvest losses
on average in Brazil, according to an FAO report with consolidated EMBRAPA data.
FAO / EMBRAPA
THE AGRICULTURAL REALITY
A third of agricultural output is lost before it reaches the consumer.
Silo failures, cold-chain breaks in produce cold rooms and logistical blind spots in transit add up to billions in annual losses. Monitoring still relies on manual rounds and spreadsheets.
R$ Billions
In annual damage
from fungi, pests, mycotoxins and refrigeration breaks in grain and perishables.
Sector consolidation
Storage failures
Undetected hotspots, out-of-range moisture, pest CO₂ in silos.
Vulnerable cold chain
Fruit and vegetables dehydrate and lose value during refrigeration breaks.
Logistical blindness
Transport between farm, DC and port with no real thermal monitoring.
HOW IT WORKS
End-to-end rural IoT, from field to port
Long-autonomy sensors + long-range 915 MHz LoRa network + predictive AI + export compliance in a single platform.
01 · RURAL-FIRST
1.2 mi (2 km) LoRa network
Long-range 915 MHz LoRa communication engineered for farms, cooperatives and large rural areas.
02 · AUTONOMY
12 months, no swaps
Sensors with 2 AA batteries and a 22-day offline data logger, ready for remote points.
03 · PREDICTIVE AI
DROME Predict
Anticipates silo hotspots, pests (CO₂) and cold-chain breaks before commercial loss.
04 · EXPORT
Global compliance
Records for MAPA storage-facility certification, GMP+, HACCP and SIF, plus GlobalG.A.P. for export fruit.
RURAL ARCHITECTURE
1.2 mi (2 km) LoRa, 12-month battery, AI that understands the harvest
Long-range network for open farmland, autonomous sensors at remote points and an AI engine that learns your silo's thermal pattern.
01
Sensor measures
IP65 wireless sensor on silo thermocouples. Reads temperature, moisture and CO₂ every 15 min.
02
Gateway transmits
915 MHz LoRa + 4G gateway covers up to 1.2 mi (2 km) in open field. 22-day offline buffer.
03
AI analyzes
Predict detects hotspots, pest activity (CO₂) and cold-chain breaks before commercial loss.
04
Team is alerted
Manager and aeration crew receive an alert with a suggested action. Record ready for the storage audit.

APPLICATIONS
End-to-end coverage of the agricultural chain
Six applications covering storage, cold rooms, livestock and transport, with integration to the main agribusiness ERPs.
01
Silos & warehouses
Temperature, moisture and CO₂ in vertical/horizontal silos with automatic aeration control.
→ −35% post-harvest losses
02
Produce cold rooms
Control from 32 to 46°F (0 to +8°C) for fresh goods and ethylene monitoring for controlled ripening.
→ +40% shelf life
03
Livestock & meatpacking
Carcass rooms (30 to 36°F / −1 to +2°C), freezing tunnels and per-batch SIF traceability.
→ 100% SIF traceability
04
Refrigerated transport
Temperature telemetry and GPS on export trucks with MAPA compliance.
→ Full digital audit
05
CO₂ monitoring
Early detection of pest activity in silos via rising CO₂ before loss.
→ Fungi/pest prevention
06
Smart aeration
Automated fan control based on internal and external climate conditions.
→ Energy efficiency
WHO TRUSTS US
Agribusiness in production with DROME
From global seed producers to Brazilian cooperatives, the platform is validated from field to port.
Syngenta
Also running at grain cooperatives and fruit exporters, under confidentiality.
“We installed DROME across 8 silos to end the end-of-harvest surprises. Today the system warns me of a hotspot in silo 04 at 2 a.m. and I turn on aeration before losing the load.”

COMPARISON
Why manual rounds and USB dataloggers don't scale in agribusiness
In a cooperative with dozens of silos and a farm of thousands of acres, the cost of the on-site visit is the lost batch. Compare the three models.
