How Augmented Reality Technology Streamlines Agriculture
How AR Can Optimize Farming Processes
The benefits of augmented reality are even clearer when supported by examples of how it contributes to agriculture optimization. Below are some interesting augmented reality farming applications.
Cattle Farmers Use AR for Smart Farming
As a new smart farming technology, AR has a lot to offer to cattle farmers. Combined with smart sensors, it enables farmers to mark a particular animal and regularly check on it. For instance, if one of the cows in the herd is sick, farmers can get automatic notifications about the animal’s condition.
Coupled with all-in-one herd monitoring solutions like Nedap CowControl, AR tools deliver relevant information directly in front of the farmers’ eyes and enable them to act on the spot and make timely decisions.
Augmented Reality Helps Farmers Discover New Opportunities
In farming, there’s simply no room for trial and error, and many farmers are often wary of implementing disruptive solutions. Smart technology in farming seems too abstract and irrelevant. For example, in Africa, farms were in dire need of agriculture irrigation optimization, but farmers were highly reluctant to adopt it because they didn’t believe in its potential. By using AR, irrigation engineers managed to convince local farmers that adopting new irrigation technology will help them improve crop yields.
