Agricultural technology companies deploy AI and 5G systems in farming operations

NTT AgriTechnology launched a smart farming project in Chōfu City, Tokyo in 2020. The company used 5G networks so that agricultural experts could guide farmers from a distance. Farmers did not need specialists on-site to grow their crops successfully. Thailand has also introduced AI and precision farming tools to improve harvests and reduce environmental damage. In both countries, farmers can now use smartphone apps to monitor crops and receive AI-driven advice. These tools include predictive analytics, which help farmers make better decisions about their fields. Future plans include drones for spraying pesticides and machines to help with harvesting. Expanding these systems will require continued investment in local 5G networks so that experts can monitor several fields at the same time.
