Smart Automation-Agriculture
Agriculture
Bring connected and intelligent solutions to the field. Literally.
Introduction
Agriculture stands as one of the possibly largest beneficiaries of the AIoT revolution, with smart technologies brining even greater efficiencies and quality-of-work improvements in the agricultural sector.
When introducing AIoT solutions in the agricultural sector, the harvesting and processing of agricultural resources becomes faster and more precise than ever before—meaning lower costs for producers, as well as better products and lower prices for consumers. The increased energy and resource efficiency made possible by AIoT solutions also contribute to making agriculture more sustainable and ecologically friendly.
With the immense importance of agriculture in our world, it is a key sector for AIoT solutions and one that could have enormous positive ramifications around the world.
Challenges
Agricultural applications come with considerable challenges and range from tough conditions out in the field to high-stress environments in processing facilities—each presenting unique challenges to AIoT solutions. Moreover, the vast volumes processed in agricultural facilities mean that high-performance components and technologies are a must to achieve the necessary throughput and efficiency improvements. Some of the challenges faced in agricultural applications include:
Environmental challenges
- Challenging climate and weather conditions, e.g., high humidity, strong winds, blizzards, etc.
- Shocks and vibrations
- Exposure to chemicals
High-performance requirements
- Rapid machine vision
- Split-second decision making
- Excellent precision
Management and security requirements
- Detailed and effective monitoring
- Minimum downtime
- Ease of remote maintenance and management
