Robotic and Autonomous Systems
The agricultural- and food sector, including the primary production comprises major industries in Europe with outmost importance for the European economy. Advanced digital technologies, including Robotics, AI, and data science are seen to be key enabling for the agricultural sectors to reach European key policy goals on climate, sustainability, biodiversity, energy, health, rural development as described in the European policy priorities on Digital and emerging technologies for competitiveness and fit for the Green Deal.
Novitek is targeting agricultural automation and robotic solutions to enhance our technology presence in all key parts of a greener digital supply chain. Via the selected key use-cases addresses the use of AI, data and robotics technologies in the optimisation of production and services value-chains, optimisation of products, services, processes, to increase competitiveness, improve working conditions, and environmental sustainability.These include industrial applications particularly within agricultural automation, precision agriculture and decision support, targeting technologies such as robotics, advanced sensors, field data analysis. These use-cases will cover complete industrial supply chains, including B2B, B2C, B2Goverment business chains, targeting the business need/opportunity within the forecasted market segments of; i) “Internet of Things in Connected Agriculture”, ii) “Big Data Analytics and related knowledge automation”, iii) Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data and Robotics;
