Exploring RFID in the Peat Extraction Industry
The Canadian Horticultural Peat industry is responsible for traditional vacuum harvest (VH) and block cut (BC) extraction processes. The harvesting of peat moss is sustainable and a greener method of energy utilization. The extraction of peat moss is performed using the following two methods:- Milling method – the removal of thin layers of peat deposits. The milled peat layer allows for faster drying. The retention of the moisture
- Sod peat extraction – molding of peat into bricks
- Tracking Assets and Equipment
- Managing Inventory
- Tracking Live Plant Cultures
- Monitoring Personnel
Applying Asset Tracking
Some examples of peat extraction machinery includes the following:- Two Head Vacuum Peat Harvesting Machine
- Harrows
- Root and Stump Picker
- Peat Quality Control
- Loading Ramp
- Peat Trailer
- Net Weigh Scale
- Open Mouth Bagger
- Valve Bag Sealers
- Robotic Case Bagger
- Robotic Palletizers
- Belt Conveyors
Applying People Tracking
We can apply our knowledge that we have gained from our experience using RFID to track people to monitor personnel who are employed extracting peat moss is readily available with the inclusion of long range RFID readers on all work sites. Supervisors can track the location and the start and end times of employee shifts and locate their positions in real-time. All of this information is available as reports on the database, or can be imported into your existing payroll software to streamline your payroll process. Personnel Tracking not only creates business efficiencies, but also heightens the level of safety on the premises.Integrating with your Existing Management Software
