Robotic tractors with AI cloud based GPS automation

The new decade will demand more AI automation. This will included all industries where there is a higher demand on labour. One such need is farming. 


Future farming
Most farms can be run remotely including all the crop and land management. One big area is using GPS guided mini tractors. There will be a time when tractors will be programmed and set off to perform certain tasks around the farm including drilling, spraying and cultivation.

The need
To have an accurate way of managing land at arms length. Most land is monitored for yield, the next step is to have AI operated technology for accuracy and cost reduction.

The answer
Use self-automated mini robotic tractors. The tractors are connected to cloud based controllers, where farmers have full control. Already, farms are monitored for yield and efficiency, the next step will be to connect this to program that manages the program for the field.

The steps
  • Setup up details for fields
  • State what you would like to grow or manage
  • The cloud based management organises the whole program
  • The programme then can manage robotic tractors to sew, spray or cultivate crops
  • The data from the tractors are then fed into the program and and the efficiency is measured over the years
The idea is that the technology is integrated with the cloud based management software. Through detailed monitoring and feedback, there will be greater yield as lower cost overall.

New future

New blog...new future . Often I have a cazillion ideas, designs and thoughts that are spilling out of my mind. I have often been asked to put them down on paper or pixels......Hopefully, these ideas, create conversation, change and spark a better future. Please enjoy and interact. Mike Nash

There is gold in them thar hills - Mining for plastic

Plastic mining It's only a matter of time when fossil fuels become a dark distant relative to newer, advance forms of energy production as part of a future concern for climate change and circular economics. As governments and experts fight for the right answers, it will become harder to justify taking natural resources without reason.   There is no doubt that in this struggle for future minds, the cost of extraction will become either too costly or ethically problematic. Technology may hold the key to unlocking energy as well as cleaning up the environment cost-effectively. One possible way is to mine for waste plastic!  Plastic is formed from carbon generated polymers, potentially with huge amounts of energy locked in at a molecular level. Once released, it will help reduce carbon fuel dependency as well reducing waste and pollution. For over 70 years, we have been ploughing spent plastic into our soil and oceans.There is evidence that it could take 1000's of year

Cloud based control

Having the ability to take information and then set an action is so important.  Long has the day when technology worked in isolation. Today, technology needs to sweat a bit more, integrate and give higher return of investment. The idea Have a cloud based system that takes inputs and processes actions. Ie you may want a water management system that triggers an action if certain variables are met. ie if water = 2m then do this and that. The concept is the cloud based system can be deployed anywhere where there is access. It could be a perfect way of integrating with older technology and newer systems. The system can be based on a open source and easy to integrate with old and new technology.  Please feel free to share and comment below. Copyright - Mike Nash 2019
