The company makes equipment for control of sugarcane cutting that is exported to the Arab country for use in Case IH cutters. The multinational, a maker of agricultural machinery, has operations in Brazil and exports its harvesters to Sudan. Production is between 30 and 50 machines a year.<\/p>\n<p> According to the president at Enalta, Cl\u00e9ber Manzoni, the equipment used in the Case IH machines is the Auto Tracker. It includes sensors close to the harvester blades and equipment in the cabin showing when the cutter is hitting the soil and no longer just the cane. On sugarcane cutters, precision is required in this operation, so that the machine may cut cane as close to the ground as possible, without touching the earth.<\/p>\n<p> The harvester itself cuts the cane and transfers it to a transport vehicle. The work of separating the earth from the cane, when both are mixed, is expensive for mills, as it requires more water. Lorries also end up carrying heavier loads, due to the earth transported. According to Manzoni, when there is no control in the equipment, the work is exclusively in the hands of the harvester\u2019s operator, which may generate failures.<\/p>\n<p> Apart from Auto Tracker, Enalta produces equipment for automation with different operations, like control of machinery performance \u2013 it informs the manager how long the machine was out of operation, either due to shift changes or other reasons \u2013 as well as engine oil temperature. These products may be used in agricultural machinery for any crop, according to Manzoni.<\/p>\n<p> Enalta was established in 1999 in the city of Catanduva. At the time, Manzoni, an electric engineer, and another partner opened the company and bought technology for production of sprayer monitoring from the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa). Later, in 2001, Enalta got funds from the State of S\u00e3o Paulo Research Foundation (Fapesp) to develop their own technology and moved to the city of S\u00e3o Carlos, where there is a sector hub and where the company was incubated up to 2003.<\/p>\n<p> Currently, Enalta is still in S\u00e3o Carlos. The other partner left the business in 2005 and today, apart from Manzoni, the company also belongs to Criatec, a fund under the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES). The company produces over 4.000 items a year and employs 58 people. The equipment is sold both for the machinery industry and for agro-industrial producers. Apart from the Brazilian market and Sudan, Enalta also exports to Central America, mainly Colombia.<\/p>\n<p> <b>Contact<\/p>\n<p> Enalta Inova\u00e7\u00f5es Tecnol\u00f3gicas<\/b><br \/> Telephone: (+55 16) 3411-6060<br \/> Site: www.enalta.com.br<\/p>\n<p> <b>*Translated by Mark Ament<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Company Enalta, from S\u00e3o Paulo, produces equipment for control of sugarcane cutting on Case IH cutters, used in the African country.
