Last week, Sentry was proud to take part in the 11th annual Agri-TechE REAP Conference – a pivotal event in the UK’s agri-tech calendar, with farmers at the centre of key industry conversations. Our Director of Farms, John Barrett, had the honour of opening the conference, setting the stage for thought-provoking discussions around the future of agriculture. The keynote session was particularly impactful, led by Elliott Grant, who is known for his pioneering work with Mineral.ai in ‘computational agriculture’ and exploring the transformative potential of AI in farming. His insights spanned practical applications and future possibilities, structured around his ‘SAT’ framework: S – Substitution: AI can take over tasks we do today, like taking minutes or writing reports, freeing up valuable time. A – Augmentation: AI can enhance our current processes, helping us make faster and better decisions. T – Transformation: AI has the potential to redefine our work entirely, as seen with technologies like autonomous vehicles. Reflecting on the day, John concluded, “It was excellent to meet and network with innovators from across the industry, exchanging insights that will help shape a sustainable future. Dr. Grant’s presentation illustrated AI’s transformative impact – his message? AI will not only accelerate agriculture but also inspire entirely new approaches.” Thank you to all involved for another successful REAP Conference. #AgriTech #REAP2024 #FarmingInnovation #AIinAg #Agriculture #SmartFarming #FutureOfFarming #FarmTech

Future of Farming: AI, Robotics, and Microbiome Management The future of agriculture lies in understanding the intricate relationships within plant microbiomes. Just as our gut microbiome is vital for our health, a diverse plant microbiome enhances disease resistance and overall plant vitality. This video explores how AI and robotics can be leveraged to optimize microbiome management, paving the way for sustainable farming practices. #Agriculture #MicrobiomeManagement #AI #Robotics #Sustainability  Learn more: https://farmonaut.com/

So, there is a saying called Dull, Dirty, and Dangerous, and that work that involves these characteristics is prime for robotics and automation. With an aging population, this is an area that deserves more attention than the latest unicorn. I love humanoid robotics, but there is a tremendous opportunity for simple focused machines. #unicorn #hustle #DullDirtyandDangerous #robics Enzo Wälchli #Automation #sustainability

When robots enter the cattle farming: In those days, when migrants entered in the western nations, most of them used to do the hygienic works like this robot. Later they had their members in the Parliament to voice for them. It seems that sooner or later the AI runs a whole industries without human interference? Then the AI-2......... #AI #robotics #farming #costcutting #labour #future #human #success

When #drones were A Really New Thing, and farmers were talking about #data as a possible "4th crop" - we look back at how the emergence of #agritech has changed agriculture. Google search trends show it was around 2012 that the term "agri-tech" was making its mark on the internet. Gradually terms like "gene-editing" (2014), soft robotics (2015) and "digital twins" (2016) started to be called on by our collective keyboards and the rest....as they say.....is history. Read on to track the rise, dip, rise again, slight dip and another rise of "vertical farming" and discover when the term "regenerative farming" became something we suddenly all wanted to know more about. How do you think agri-tech will continue to change the face of agriculture and horticulture - and will the smartphone continue to be one of the major enablers of agri-tech empowerment?! #verticalfarming #regenerative #agriculture #robotics #digitaltwin #geneediting

ROBOTICISTS and ALL WHO ARE ON THE WAY! Look at what's being done with robots in the agricultural field! Robots are being used in this sector for all sorts of reasons and this is one that really does make sense when it comes to efficiency and hygienic dairy conditions. Thank you Enzo Wälchli for sharing this post. If you could design a robot to be used in the farming arena, what would your robot do to further food production and the safety livestock and humanity? Could be a good project and opportunity where you can practise your coding skills. Let your imagination fly with coding and robotics!

Radical Innovation: The Transformation to Smart Farming 🌱 The Thorvald robot is at the forefront of advancing agricultural practices, leading the way in the shift to smarter, more efficient farming. Thanks for sharing, Jenny A.!

Revolutionizing Agriculture with Robotics: Imagine a future where farming is more efficient, sustainable, and productive. A future where technology and agriculture converge to create a new era of growth and innovation. This vision is now a reality, thanks to the power of robotics in farming. By leveraging advanced robotic solutions, farmers can streamline their operations, reduce costs, and promote eco-friendly practices. At an upcoming event, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the exciting intersection of agriculture and technology. They'll hear from experts who will share insights on how robotics can transform farming operations and promote a more sustainable future. The event promises to be an immersive experience, offering attendees a chance to network with like-minded professionals, learn from innovators, and gain actionable knowledge to implement robotics in their farming operations. Will you be a part of this exciting journey, shaping the future of agriculture? https://lnkd.in/gC7aUnRC #Annotation #Dataannotation #Annotationworld #AI #Artificialintellegence #Machinelearning #ML #RoboticsInAgriculture #AgTech #FarmTech #SmartFarming #PrecisionAgriculture #SustainableAgriculture #FutureOfFarming #AgRobotics #InnovationInAgriculture #FarmingTechnology

🌾🤖 Future-Proofing Agriculture with AI and Robotics 🌾🤖 In an exciting development in the UK, researchers are transforming agriculture through AI and robotics to create climate-resilient crops. This pioneering initiative highlights the UK's dedication to sustainable agriculture and showcases how technology can revolutionize our approach to environmental and food security challenges. By integrating AI, researchers analyze extensive data on soil health, weather patterns, and crop genetics to enhance planting strategies and resource efficiency. Robotics further refines these processes, improving the precision of planting, harvesting, and crop monitoring. Autonomous drones and robotic harvesters help reduce labor costs, minimize environmental impact, and adapt to climate variability. These technologies are not just advancing agricultural practices but are also key to addressing climate change. They provide critical real-time insights, allowing farmers to swiftly adapt to changing conditions and optimize resources. This not only bolsters crop resilience but also supports economic growth and social development in rural areas by boosting productivity and rural incomes. As we continue to embrace these innovations, we are setting a course for a sustainable agricultural future that can withstand climate challenges and support a growing global population. Let’s champion these breakthroughs that couple innovation with sustainability, ensuring a prosperous future for global food systems. #AgricultureInnovation #ClimateResilience #AI #Robotics #SustainableFarming
