What is the difference between smart farming and digital farming?What technologies should farmers know in order to promote the digital transformation of their company?And how can agricultural processes from your own work environment be automated by connecting to the Internet of Things (IoT)?The new "Smart Farming and IoT in Agriculture" certificate program would like to answer such questions, which starts in November 2021 at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).The goal: make specialists from the agricultural industry fit for the digital transformation of the industry.
"Smart Farming has the potential to make agriculture even more efficiently and more robust against social upheavals, but also more resource -friendly and sustainable," says MaximilianDriver, scientist at the chair for agricultural system technology, which has developed the program with his colleague Josef Bauerdick."Technologies are powerful tools that can make everyday work in the agricultural industry much easier.However, this can only be successful if I know which technologies are relevant for my company and how I can seamlessly integrate tools into existing processes and digitize them."

Create understanding of the possibilities of smart farming and technology
According to the website experts, the transformation performance from the learned to the respective work situation is particularly important to the website experts.In addition to introductions in terminology and technology, numerous practical exercises are also part of the course program: the participants should learn to create an agricultural IoT system from the sensor to the dashboard.This gives you an understanding of what is possible with current and future technologies and where the limits of the respective systems are.
