Trelleborg & Agricolus partner to enhance precision farming

Trelleborg Wheel Systems, in partnership with Agricolus, has launched a new integrated platform to provide digital solutions for smart and sustainable farming. The unified platform provides farmers with additional key information to help them increase yields and optimise farm management through a website and mobile app.

Combining the advantages of the TLC+ pressure management system and the specialised features and services of the Agricolus platform, farmers can improve the agronomic management of their farm by working in a more sustainable way. Users can take advantage of forecasting models, geo-localised crop scouting, and remote satellite sensing to monitor crop health, prevent pests and diseases and reduce variable costs by more than 20 per cent by adopting the right tyre pressure.

Leading the future of farming

“As a company, we are thrilled to lead the future of farming,” states Paolo Pompei, president of Trelleborg Wheel Systems. “By creating this newly integrated platform with Agricolus, we believe we can inspire more farmers to leverage technological innovations to improve their business. Collaborating with the most promising developers and start-up companies, we can put the smartest digital solutions in farmers’ hands for more sustainable precision farming.”

Andrea Cruciani, chief executive officer of Agricolus, adds: “This new integrated digital platform confirms and strengthens the strategic partnership with Trelleborg. Our collaboration is the result of the shared vision of the future of agriculture, where sustainability plays a key role. We want to promote digital transformation in the agricultural sector by providing farmers with easy-to-use, accessible and innovative technologies to support their daily work in the field.”

Having entered into a partnership agreement in 2019, Trelleborg and Agricolus continue to merge their expertise, resources and technology to support digitisation of farming by building innovative, cloud-based solutions. Agricolus, an Italian innovative start-up developing solutions for digital agriculture, has been in business since 2017 and aims to support farmers, organisations, and professionals in this sector in simplifying and enhancing their work in the field by using cutting-edge technologies of data collection and analysis.
