Digitization and Connectivity – Technological Change in Agriculture
Abstract:
The year 2019 was marked by activities around digitization and connectivity in agriculture. More and more tractors and self-propelled agricultural machines have become connected via integrated telematics devices and OEM portals. Drones and satellite images are being used to automatically detect crop types and plant vitality. Based on this, recommended actions and application maps for fertilizing and crop protection are automatically calculated. FMIS systems support farmers and contractors with automated documentation and support the planning and organization of agricultural processes. Data exchange has been standardized in 2019 and connectivity between machines, software and all relevant persons plays a major role in Smart Farming.
