Technology in Agriculture
Moderation: Marie Wenzlaff & Max Rathauscher (Josephinum Research)
Automation is reshaping industries by making processes more efficient, data-driven and resilient. The agri-food sector is no exception: from field operations to food production, AI and robotics are opening new opportunities to address labour shortages, improve precision and support more sustainable practices.
As an applied research institute and close cooperation partner for industry, Josephinum Research supports companies in developing, testing and validating digital, AI-based and robotic solutions under real-world conditions. Drawing on success stories from agrifoodTEF and EDIH AI5innovation, the session will highlight practical examples such as autonomous field robotics, AI-based weed detection and precision spot spraying showcasing the potential for automation in the agrifood sector.
You will gain insights into industry-oriented research cooperation, “test-before-invest” approaches, real-world testing environments, technical validation and opportunities within European innovation networks.
