Understanding the possible applications of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is not the most straightforward task. These are arid and complex subjects. But Roberto Prado, director of Microsoft’s cloud computing business, has the gift of explaining things to others.
I met him, last November, at the Hacking Health Summit, held at FAAP in Ribeirão Preto, a city located in the countryside of São Paulo State, in Brazil. His speech was inspiring. He reminded a case in which sensors were used to analyze the life of a cow.
On a cattle ranch in Japan, Microsoft has led the development of a solution to control the activities of the herd. The females received electronic anklets, embedded with sensors. The objective was to monitor the physical movement of the animals. Why register the footsteps of a cow? According to Prado, this is the most efficient way to know when the female enters estrus. “Ready-to-breed cows are more active than in other life cycles,” he says.

By connecting the anklets to the internet, pedometer sensors send real-time information from each animal to systems in the cloud. Thus, data analysis solutions alert the onset of heat – indicating the location of the animal. “Veterinary medicine knows that from the entrance into estrus, there is a window of 12 to 18 hours for insemination,” Prado explains. “For the most part, the ideal moment happens at dawn,” he adds.
Prado estimates that, by determining the most suitable time, the pregnancy rate increases by up to 70%. “This is the internet of things. The possibility of combining scientific discoveries with artificial intelligence to increase productivity, “he concludes.

First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I do enjoy writing however it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions
or hints? Kudos!
Hi,
One thing I do is to pick a topic; then, I put my ideas about it on a list. Based on that, I start to write. It is a technique that I use as a journalist to not lose myself while I am writing. Make a draft on topics, search about, and do the thing.
If your content is based on a personal (or specific) story, it is the same process, pick the main idea, list the topis do enrich it… Its a question of practicing. Put the ideas in paper (or screen) is always the first step. Its like pic them from mind and turn them real.
Best,
