Benefits might include: Optimising crop growth and maximising crop yields – monitoring the weather and soil condition to optimise irrigation, predict disease risk, plan a harvest and reduce the volume of agri-chemicals required and waste created. Livestock monitoring – herd health and wellbeing, tracking location and assessing quality of vegetation grazed, managing automated feeding, controlling environments in enclosures and barns Tracking expensive, portable equipment and introducing autonomous drone technology. Maintenance – monitoring the condition of production equipment to minimise down-time for maintenance and repair.
