Smart Farming: With Fraunhofer towards highly efficient and sustainable agriculture of the future.
With “COGNAC”, Fraunhofer is not only designing and testing an integrated platform for information-based (cognitive) agriculture, but is also developing corresponding automation concepts, monitoring solutions, and cognitive services. The aim is to show ways of linking the numerous isolated solutions and making them universally usable as a whole in order to achieve the highest productivity and sustainability.
Easy data exchange in an agro-specific Digital Ecosystem that enables multivalent use and linking of complex agricultural datasets in secure data spaces while supporting cognitive services.
Automated acquisition, integration, and interpretation of multi-channel high-resolution measurement data from novel drone- and robot-based sensor systems to support information-based decision-making.
Autonomous field robotics for plant-specific field work by means of a lightweight, electrified robotic platform with specific sensor systems.
Cognitive services process data into information, which ultimately serves to support decision-making and process optimization. To do so, methods from Artificial Intelligence (AI) are used as well as classical statistical analyses or control systems.
