Trending Technology for 2018 - Agriculture.

In a sector that is becoming increasingly mechanised and automated, data and digital technologies are now critical controls on the success of a farm. Practices that have historically been limited by time, cost and the inefficiency of human-labour, are being revolutionised by a variety of contemporary technological solutions. Machines and sensors are increasingly being seen within agricultural spaces, and this is facilitating unprecedented improvements in operational efficiencies and accuracy.

This increased reliance on 'the robot' within farming, is inviting the sector and its stakeholders to look outside of agriculture for novel solutions and partnerships. Commercial and industrial technologies are being incorporated into many agricultural uses: drones are helping measure crop growth, autonomous technologies are managing warehouses, and sensors are now letting farmers known when and where fertlizers are needed. Technological applications are increasing and varying on what seems like a daily basis.

We have tried to capture the best of these technologies in the latest issue of our free eBook - Trending Technologies. From a unique sensor system to a macro-data communication system, we explore 5 of the most exciting and innovative technological solutions within agriculture in 2018.
