Device fully meets the needs of those seeking quality in harvesting and operational efficiency
Focused on innovation, AgroBrasília, taking place from May 20 to 24 at the Ivaldo Cenci Technology Park, is considered a strategic showcase to present technologies such as the Motomco Connect, reinforcing the brand’s presence in the Central-West region of Brazil. The Connect has been gaining the trust of farmers, cooperatives, and laboratories for bringing together practicality, speed, and precision in a single device. Field acceptance has been very positive, as the device fully meets the needs of those who prioritize harvest quality and operational efficiency.
“Our expectations for the event are very positive. We have strong prospects of closing deals and creating networking opportunities with new clients and partners,” says Samuel Rodrigues Uchoa, Operations Manager at Ponto Lab Soluções Científicas.
The company acts as a sales representative for Motomco equipment in the states of Goiás and the Federal District. One of the main highlights is the Motomco Connect, which has been very well received by users.
“Farmers are increasingly open to adopting technology and value features such as connectivity, traceability, and precision in their processes. The ability to access real-time measurement data and make decisions more confidently has proven to be a major advantage in the field,” Uchoa emphasizes.
He explains that the use of a grain moisture meter is crucial in several stages of the agricultural production process, being especially critical during pre-harvest and harvest.
“In the pre-harvest phase, the device helps determine the ideal time to start operations. During harvest, it ensures grains are within the correct moisture range, helping avoid losses. It is also essential in drying and storage, ensuring that the product remains in ideal conditions for conservation,” he adds.
Accurate moisture measurement is fundamental to maintaining grain quality, preventing losses due to deterioration, fungal development, and financial losses.
“Grains outside the standard moisture levels can compromise the entire crop, both in terms of quality and market value,” Uchoa stresses.
Roney Smolareck, agricultural engineer at Motomco, reinforces that to achieve the best results, the technical recommendation is to harvest grains within the ideal moisture range for each crop.
“Harvesting at the right moisture point prevents losses due to cracking or deterioration, improves storage conditions, and ensures a final product with higher market value,” he explains.
The use of the Connect thus contributes not only to grain quality but also to production sustainability and the economic success of the harvest.
The Motomco Connect is a portable, automatic, and highly accurate moisture meter designed to make the daily routine of grain producers easier.
“With simple operation and fast reading, the device delivers reliable results in just a few seconds — an essential advantage for strategic decision-making both in the field and during storage,” Smolareck highlights.
He points out that controlling the correct moisture level is critical for ensuring grain quality and market value. According to the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, the ideal moisture level for soybeans should be between 12% and 13%. Outside this range, there is an increased risk of losses during drying or storage.
“When grain is dried excessively, it tends to crack, making processing difficult and resulting in uneven sizes. On the other hand, moisture levels above the ideal encourage improper fermentation, which can compromise the entire quality of the product,” he concludes
