Smart Farming

As an actor in the farming industry, you cannot get around “Smart Farming” and its implications for your business. Smart Farming is a buzzword for engineers in the agricultural fields. And rightly so: Utilizing smart IT, drones, and other advanced technologies and – crucially – networking these assets, results in higher yields, more economic use of resources, as well as higher efficiency.

Application of smart technology in agribusiness

Providing farmers with the right technology allows them to optimize (moreover: minimize!) their use of pesticides and the like while maintaining a high output with reasonable investments.

Learn about the latest developments in the field of “Smart Farming”. The international VDI conference “Smart Farming” will provide the opportunity to meet with experts and discuss the hot topics:

• “Situational Awareness” for farmers and engineers in the field
• Integrated sensor technology in farming equipment
• How the IoT affects agricultural operations
• Data acquisition and handling for real-time process adjustments
• Application of smart devices - using IT to drive processes
• Farming management with tailored software solutions
• Using Drones in Smart Farming
• Innovations for future farming technologies
