Increase Productivity and Safety in the Agriculture Industry
Demands for the agriculture industry are growing rapidly and require effective solutions to help meet and exceed these demands. Extreme environments, increased costs, sustainability, along with food quality and safety are the pressing issues the industry is urgently looking to solve.
Agriculture Challenges
Across the agriculture industry, four key challenges remain constant:
- Environment – Workers and equipment are exposed to extreme temperatures and harsh conditions resulting in labor challenges and equipment downtime. Tools that are able to withstand dust, dirt, and debris while reducing overall costs and discomfort of workers are needed to meet industry demands efficiently.
- Tight Margins – Maintenance or downtime along with ownership and operational expenses can drive up costs. Maximum efficiency is needed to increase profitability. This is achieved through right-sizing your fleet, installing trucks that have greater fuel efficiency and lower maintenance costs, and addressing labor challenges.
- Sustainability – The pollution from exhaust and noise from ICE trucks has led to a need for greater sustainability practices for the agriculture industry. State and federal regulations along with corporate responsibility have increased emphasis on green initiatives and emissions reductions. Switching from ICE trucks to electric models helps to eliminate emissions and decrease the carbon footprint of the agriculture industry.
- Food Quality & Safety – The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires enhanced visibility and traceability to prevent food contamination. Equipment abuse or unauthorized operation can also cause accidents and reduce productivity. Operator training and food-grade lubricants can help improve the overall quality and safety of the agriculture industry.
