Case Study: Stara improves global food supply with Xamarin

Stara improves global food supply with smart machines

Stara, a leading South American farm equipment manufacturer, faced the challenge of upgrading its legacy equipment and operating systems to create intelligent farming machines. The company selected Xamarin to build new mobile applications that required a high degree of precision, performance, and quality for controlling its equipment.

Using Xamarin, the company was able to leverage its in-house .NET skills to port a legacy application to Android in just three months, reusing 95% of the original code. This solution created dashboard-mounted tablets and apps that control machines, capture crop data, and optimize farming activities. The results included helping farmers achieve higher quality crops and greater yields, while automating tasks to reduce costs by 30% and increase worker safety.
