“…The harvesting operation can be responsible for up to 30% of the total crop production cost [55] because it is the operation that consumes the most energy [56]. Mechanical operations can harvest sugarcane as whole stalks or as billets.…”

“…During the harvesting operation, wagons accompanying the harvesters are able to cut one or two rows and harvest up to 30 tons of sugarcane stalks per hour [55], causing intense disturbance to the crop area [28]. This issue can be diminished when decision makers entirely apply the concepts of controlled traffic when designing the plot size before planting [28].…”

“…In their study, they obtained a reduction of about 32% of he time consumed when applying route planning. Another operation that can be highly expensive is the transportation from the field to the mill, which can account for more than 30% of the total cost [55]. Therefore, traffic control, route planning and fleet size become crucial to reduce production costs that are related to the advances of ICT applied in agriculture.…”

Over the years, agricultural management practices are being improved as they integrate Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Precision Agriculture tools. Regarding sugarcane crop production, this integration aims to reduce production cost, enhance input applications, and allow communication among different hardware and datasets, improving system sustainability. Sugarcane mechanization has some particularities that mandate the development of custom solutions based on digital tools, which are being applied globally in different crops. Digital mechanization can be conceived as the application of digital tools on mechanical operation. This review paper addresses different digital solutions that have contributed towards the mechanization of sugarcane crop production. The process of digitalization and transformation in agriculture and its related operations to sugarcane are presented, highlighting important ICT applications such as real-time mechanical operations monitoring and integration among operations, demonstrating their contributions and limitations regarding management efficiency. In addition, this article presents the major challenges to overcome and possible guidance on research to address these issues, i.e., poor communication technologies available, need for more focus on field and crop data, and lack of data interoperability among mechanized systems.

“…That work presents a MIP problem to tackle complexity and scalability issues. Finally, [1] discussed a bi-objective mixed-integer non-linear programming model for finding variants of plans that can minimize the total cost incurred. In particular, the formulation takes into account both the total cost incurred by the harvesting and transport operations and the total harvesting time.…”

In a globalized market, forest management plans play an important role in the sustainability of forest enterprises. Several optimization processes have therefore been developed to support decision-making in forestry operations. However, important issues remain to be addressed, such as planning the allocation of harvesting areas and scheduling the harvesting teams that are contracted for these purposes. Harvesting schedules include different time scales and natural constraints, so that finding optimal or even good quality ones constitutes a highly complex combinatorial optimization problem. Efficient planning of harvesting operations can significantly reduce the costs associated with logistics and improve the economic performance of companies in the sector. In Uruguay, almost 75\% of total forest harvesting operations for pulp production are carried out by contractor companies, so they are an important player in the supply chain. This study aims to optimize the allocation and routing of the harvesting equipment of forest contractors, which must be located at the sites to be harvested during the year. Numerical experiments over a case study based on realistic data have shown that realistic-sized instances can be resolved by standard mathematical programming software in a reasonable time. The mathematical programming model can also be useful to evaluate potential gains in joint planning by several contractors with respect to the costs incurred by separate planning; as illustrated also with numerical examples over the same case study. This model can be used to support annual forest harvest scheduling and equipment allocation for corporate contractors, leading to better quality plans and improvement opportunities.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi verificar na literatura se a produção da cana-de-açúcar e do etanol está associada às boas práticas Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). Foram realizadas pesquisas nas bases de dados ScienceDirect e Spell. Os artigos sobre cana-de-açúcar e etanol não mencionarem de forma expressa a relação da produção com ESG mas, o que se pode inferir, é que a relação foi relatada de outra forma como, por exemplo preocupação com os impactos ambientais da cultura, diminuição das emissões de gases de efeito estufa, melhores alternativas no de manejo de fertilizantes etc. As pesquisas sobre as práticas ESG mostraram que os autores focaram mais na relação das empresas com os possíveis investidores e avaliando as práticas, por meio dos índices, como indicadores de boa gestão, por exemplo na prevenção de risco de falência.
