The Farming and a Machine: theses
IoT and robotics in Smart Agriculture - the Future:
- Water management, smart sprinkling etc
- Local weather forecasting, soil-quality monitoring and the real-time adaptation to changing conditions
- Automated spraying of pesticides and other kinds of chemicals, observations and inspections
- Remote crop monitoring and climate forecasting
- Complete control and analysis of the potential yield. The support of decision-making
These are but a few examples of the potential implementation of the IoT into farming:
- Fleet management systems that will track the use and the state of farm vehicles. Preventive maintenance and optimal exploitation
- Arable farming large and small field farming
- AI and robotic systems that monitor the state and health of livestock
- The automation of indoor farming: greenhouses, vertical farms, aquaponics, hydroponics, aeroponics and stables
- Fish farming automation. Indoor fish farms can compliment aquaponics and growing leafy greens and vegetables.
- Forestry, including monitoring, firefighting and even autonomous planting
- Storage monitoring: water and fuel management, automated inventorisation
The future of high-tech agriculture in general:
- The automation of the entire process of farming: both indoor and outdoor.
- The decline of herbicides and a global transition to the mechanical weeding.
- A colossal reduction of CO2 emissions.
- Cheap fresh vegetables and berries available for everyone. A farm on the second floor of your local store.
