SMART FARMING TECHNOLOGY

Smart Farming Technology  Introduction Traditionally farming as a practice has been in the past and will continue in the future to be a manual and labor-intensive industry. With technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Big data & Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) touching almost all the listed industry sectors know. How can it no be the case for Agriculture and modern Internet and Communication Technology (ICT) to interact? A small initiative in the 1990’s by John Deere Co. of using a GPS system in tractors linked to the satellite for automated steering the crop map reducing errors and hence increasing crop yield by reduction in wastage seeds, optimum utilization of fertilizers & manures, fuel and time made the way for a full-fledged industry. According to a report published by Food and Agriculture Organization (FOA) of the United Nations, there are going to be 8.5 billion human beings on planet earth by 2030 and 9.

SMART FARMING COMPANY

Detail About Smart farming company  Farming is poised to be at the leading edge of new technology with the help of these companies: 1.RoboticsPlus – Fruit Picking Robots Robotics Plus, a startup with 10 million USD in funding from Yamaha motor company is ready to push its Aporo bruise-free robotic packers into commercial production. The apple packer can identify and position apples in display trays and can carefully handle up to 120 pieces of fruit every minute, a function that takes the place of 2 to 3 migrant workers. Robotics Plus is also working on other autonomous agtech vehicles, like their robotic pollinator, a robotic crop-size estimator, and a robotic kiwifruit harvester. 2.Ecorobotix – Weed Zapping Robots Founded in 2011, Swiss startup ecoRobotix with a funding of 13.6 million USD from two rounds. Their most recent funding, a $7.6 million Series B round which closed in May of 2018, attracted European agrifood tech inv
