As shown in the image above, there are many different ways in which farm automation technologies can be implemented — ranging from smart collars for cattle to drones, electric autonomous tractors, smart crop-sensors, and so on. To give some perspective on current growth estimates, it is projected that there will be approximately 12M agricultural sensors installed on a global scale by 2023.
Some of the technologies that are commonly used in farm automation these days include:
The Internet of Things (IoT)
Drones
Robotics
Geomatics
Statistical processes
Wi-Fi Connectivity
Weather Stations
Cattle Feeder Automation.
Water Automation
Data Center and Suppliers
Automated Animal Feeders
Automated Irrigation and Control
