00:00 I go to work every single day and I worry about how I'm going to get home at the end

00:11 of the day to my family.

00:13 We came up with the solution that gives me that peace of mind that I'm actually going

00:17 to get there.

00:20 Air Agri, simply put, is the lifeguard in your pocket.

00:26 The person that you always wished that you had behind you, watching you when you were

00:30 working in remote locations.

00:34 In essence, the challenge that we've gone about addressing is lone worker safety and

00:41 so that was, I guess, the nucleus of Air Agri.

00:45 How do we bring peace of mind and clarity on where people are in remote places around

00:51 rural properties.

00:52 Paul and I are third generation farmers from Mansfield, Victoria and we've always looked

01:00 at ways that technology could help us and solve some of the problems that we've seen

01:04 through what we live on a daily basis but then also our generations and uncles and grandfathers

01:10 before us.

01:13 Air Agri's broken up into two simple sides.

01:16 We have a digital map and then we use wearable small IoT devices like this one or this one

01:23 and the farmer, all they have to do is carry this with them and this device is then talking

01:30 back and our software and system is monitoring the behaviours of that farmer or that team

01:37 member in relation to the farm.

01:39 So our solution doesn't use cellular networks like 4G and 5G, it uses a totally different

01:45 network and that gives us confidence in rural and remote locations that these devices will

01:52 continuously send back the locations and the behaviours of lone and remote workers.

01:57 Russell's a really interesting customer of ours because where he differs is he actually

02:01 has diabetes and works alone.

02:05 His wife doesn't have to continuously look and monitor Russell, she has the confidence

02:10 that the system will set off an alarm and tell her where he is and that something's

02:14 not right.

02:15 I thought it was a good idea, especially when we're out in the back of that plot behind

02:18 where I've got the cattle.

02:21 It's steep and rugged and anything could happen out there unknowingly and with diabetes as

02:26 well it's a great service.

02:28 I have it with me every day, it's a great little device to have with you because you

02:33 just never know when that accident is likely to happen.

02:37 The good thing that we're very comfortable with is it's a generational product.

02:44 There's young farmers that love technology, there's old school farmers that don't understand

02:51 it but the old school farmers all they've got to do is put it on a charge point every

02:55 couple of days and then slip it in their pocket or next to their leatherment.

02:59 The reason why we're going to AgConnect is really to continue I guess the education and

03:08 the sharing of our story of what we're trying to achieve on our farm and hopefully replicate

03:14 that on a lot of other farms across Australia.

03:19 For us it's very much about a partnership, a partnership with farmers to help them on

03:24 that journey into unlocking the value of technology.

03:30 You don't need to understand technology to use this technology.
