Projects in the pipeline at the Eldorado
Brasil Forestry Intelligence Center
Local Part Sourcing Program: a program to
develop local suppliers of machinery and equip-
ment components, generating cost savings of R$
8.8 million.
On-site Fuel Depot: a new fuel depot at our
Três Lagoas site has generated cost savings of
22% per liter compared to average service station
prices.
Germinar Program: 15 new leaders received
more than 128 hours of training to equip them
for management positions within the company.
Sapling Sunscreen: this new technology has
reduced the requirement for irrigation by 18%
for newly planted saplings (from 2.8 to 2.3 times),
optimizing water consumption in our forestry
operations in 2022.
Genotyping: deploying and developing new
technology for identifying genetic material. Our
state-of-the-art genotyping laboratory allows us
to confirm the clonal identity of 100% of saplings
from third-party suppliers, ensuring they conform
to specifications and are properly documented in
Eldorado's forest database. In 2022 a total of 8,050
genotyping tests were performed.
Metagenomics: assessing fungal diversity in
different areas with the potential to impact forest
growth. We have continued to make progress in
characterizing microorganisms associated with
eucalyptus and in the production of potential
inoculants. In 2022 we carried out nursery and
field trials with six inoculants on three clones.
Pizarro Program: development of protocols
for micropropagation and near-infrared (NIR)
phenotyping (E.urophylla and E. grandis), in part-
nership with Senai and Embrapa. The program
aims to develop tools to reduce the time taken to
evaluate and select genetic materials within the
Eldorado Genetic Improvement Program. Phase
one of the project involved the development of
NIR models for pulpwood quality characteriza-
tion, and in vitro multiplication of 1,000 progenies
from a hybridization field.
Expansion of experimental network within
the Genetic Improvement Program: Eldorado
implemented 48 new trials, covering a total of
133 hectares. We introduced 755 new progenies
and 534 new clones. The goal in these trials is
to develop high-yield genetic material adapted
to our plantation sites, with optimal pulpwood
properties and high tolerance to biotic (living
organisms that inhabit a particular location)
and abiotic (chemical and geological stressors,
such as water, light, soil, moisture, temperature,
nutrients, etc.) stressors.
Expanding fire monitoring: We installed 25
towers equipped with state-of-the-art techno-
logy for weather and fire monitoring, operational
radio communications, and field connectivity.
This has expanded the surveillance coverage area
to 68%.
Floresta 4.0 (Forestry Connnectivity): this
program is reformulating our communication
strategy to implement the technology and data
connectivity services required for forestry and
other remote operations, enabling emergency
and logistical support. In 2022, several Proof of
Concepts (POCs) and tests were carried out in
operational environments to identify the most
suitable solutions for operations and forestry
requirements.
Telemetry and remote-sensing: identifying,
testing, and implementing telemetry and remote
sensing solutions for forestry machinery and
equipment. In 2022 we made further progress
in procuring onboard data collection and auto-
mation solutions for 116 pulpwood loading and
haulage machines and vehicles.
Operational efficiency study - forestry, hau-
lage and loading: artificial intelligence-based
assessments of operational efficiency in forestry,
loading and haulage operations to map out
key opportunities for process improvements,
enhance productivity and reduce operating costs.
Fuel and parts logistics assessment: As a
result of this assessment, we insourced fuel distri-
bution logistics, implemented mobile storerooms
in our forestry operations, and introduced app-
-based digital fueling solutions.
Innovation is among
the pillars in our
organizational culture
Maintenance quality assessments: we per-
formed maintenance quality assessments on 52
mechanical maintenance items, resulting in pro-
cess improvements, better servicing of machinery
and equipment, and improved housekeeping,
with assessed items receiving a conformity score
of 9.5.
ELDSERVIÇOS APP: a new app to digitize meal
and accommodation requests, improving acces-
sibility, controls and compliance and operational
support services.
CARSHARING APP: in 2022 we initiated deve-
lopment of a car sharing app for light vehicles,
designed to maximize usage and reduce opera-
tional costs. As a result, 15 vehicles were taken
out of service and returned to the rental compa-
nies, generating cost savings.
