This solution is connecting data and shaping ecosystems of collaboration. From discovery to development, empower your researchers with AI-assistance throughout the innovation process. In addition to enabling faster time-to-market, it can also help you reduce R&D spends.

The Infosys Crop Monitoring and Detection connects farm equipment with sensors, IoT devices, GPS trackers and telemetric systems to ensure timeliness and precision. It integrates data from on-field sensors, image analytics, machine learning and predictive models to optimize decisions across the crop life cycle.

The platform helps farmers monitor plant growth and enables the early detection and targeted treatment of crop diseases. This reduces waste, and the emissions that follow, sowing the seed for a more profitable and sustainable agricultural future.

The AI Asset Performance Platform predicts corrosion rates in shell-and-tube heat exchangers. From temperature control to evaporation, and condensation, heat exchangers are necessary to manufacture agri-chemicals.

Built using a hybrid modeling approach that combines Design of Experiments (DoE) and first principles engineering model, this solution can help extend the equipment’s life by 5-10 years. It also ensures HSE process excellence and enables savings of US $1.5 million in operational expenditure, annually.

The Integrated Supply Chain Platform is a comprehensive solution designed to transform isolated analog supply chains into digital-led ecosystems. It integrates Infosys' best-in-class offerings like Infosys Cobalt, Infosys Equinox and TradeEdge, as well as partner solutions, to create a holistic view of your network.

The platform enables multi-tier visibility, optimizes planning and execution, synchronizes operations and leverages data for proactive decision-making. By addressing demand and fulfillment holistically, chemical manufacturers and agriculture businesses can now streamline processes, boost efficiency, enhance agility, increase profitability and evolve sustainably.

Dealer Management is an intuitive, highly configurable order management and fulfillment system with in-built reporting capabilities. Through a user-friendly interface, the solution enables management of the Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Receive processes and enables robust inventory management.

It accelerates dealer onboarding from months to weeks and improves accuracy of and access to distributor data. This combination of agility and intelligence enables greater control over product, pricing and promotions, while also enabling employee productivity and efficiency.

Dealer Sensing aggregates product, sales and inventory data from multiple channels in real time to offer actionable insights. It provides granular visibility into global sales and inventory with predictive insights that enable proactive inventory management strategies.

Short-term forecast accuracy is a critical supply chain KPI. And this solution harnesses the capabilities of the platform to improve the number by 20%. It also optimizes delivery plans to drive sales growth and boost operational efficiency, while eliminating out-of-stock issues.

AI-Powered Demand Management is an analytical solution that ensures the seamless flow of agricultural inventory to meet dynamic demand patterns. Its forecasting tools predict region-specific demand to enable production planning and distribution management.

It reduces inventory holding costs by 5-10%, manufacturing costs by 3-10% and transportation and operational expenses by 1-5%. It also helps streamline stocktaking and reconciliation at warehouses. Beyond impacting costs, the AI-powered Demand Management solution can also help reduce waste and increase yields, while minimizing your agri-chemical business’ environmental impact.
