IoT Digital Infrastructures

Opening talk – overview of sessions and key highlights.

• How AI is leveraged for predictive maintenance and remote management to eliminate downtime of equipment on the farm and meet every field’s fullest yield potential.
• The combination of historic and real-time data to amplify in the moment decision making and enable communication across different machines in the field.
• The powerful combination of advanced connectivity, machine-to-machine communication, smart sensors and data analytics to predict needs of each seed or plant, enhancing efficiency and sustainability on the farm.

• Edge processing for optimum IoT deployments – how this resolves latency and connectivity barriers.   
• The advantages of running on quicker response rates through a de-centralised system.  
• Cloud analytics Vs Edge analytics – which allows for better data capture?   

• Mass data analysis – how to make the most of your insights and contextualise the data before it goes stale. 
• Making data interoperable to utilise insights across silos.   
• A global shift to remote management and more predictive and pro-active solutions – how IoT is the answer.  
• Comparing infrastructure approaches and data latency.
• Discussing ROI and ROV (return on value) – understanding the best approach and analysing a ‘future focus’.
