Our teams implement practices and tools to manage data across operations, focusing on consolidation. Key components include data governance, quality management, integration, and security. Robust data management strategies optimise operations and enhance compliance.
We look at existing process for task like harvesting and fertilizing to come up with recommendations for plantations to implement mechanized machineries and technologies to perform these tasks with the aim to optimize labor costs, increases output, and improves the consistency of operations. It also enables plantations to manage larger areas more effectively and adopt precision agriculture techniques, leading to better resource management and higher yields.
Attract and retain the right talent with the skills needed for a modern, efficient plantation.
Identifying gaps in plantation operations and implementing technologies to capture meaningful data that translate to key insights with analysis to improve decision making. Essentially enabling plantations with the right solutions including process automation to improve productivity, efficiency, optimise cost of operations and ultimately improve yields
Palm oil yields have regressed to 40-year-old levels in some areas due to outdated practices.
Our data-driven approach and process optimisation can help you unlock your plantation's full potential, leading to significant yield improvement.
Streamlined operations and automation through HAAS and iPlant software can significantly reduce operational costs.
We help you achieve certification and implement strategies for sustainable plantation management.
Leveraging the power of digitalisation and data intelligence, we equip you with the tools and strategies to overcome these challenges. Embrace a brighter future for your agrifood & plantation business with IRGA Advisory.
