Meeting in Cuarterola between Angel Camacho Group and Volterra
On August 23rd Egbert Sonneveld from Volterra visited the Cuarterola site of the Angel Camacho Group. He was received by Felipe Pizarro, head of production, who introduced him to Angela Cuevas from Cudema, subcontracted by the Angel Camacho, and who took over the responsibility of technical management of the Laser Fence project. The first Agrilaser Autonomic has just been installed in Cuarterola on a 7 meter high pole and with permanent power supply. The Agrilaser still needs to be programmed and should be operational within short. Egbert also offered to help with the organization of the upcoming Life Laser Fence partner meeting to be held in from November 15th to 17th in Cuarterola.
The visitors also made a round of the property with the Agrilaser Handheld so see the reaction of the animals in the middle of the day. Surprisingly a rabbit and a duck were not reacting to the laser at all even if the green spot could be clearly seen. The technical explanation by BCG was that animals in the middle of the day with maximum sun shine and temperatures far above 30°C have a totally different reaction to the laser than at dawn or dusk when they are more active and looking for food or a place to sleep.
