[...] This publication focuses on the technical unprecedented levels thanks to the automation and managerial aspects of the business with the aim of of machinery and equipment. [...] The savings in of agricultural technology, presents the current terms of both cost and time (due to the precision trends and discusses some of the principle in the use of inputs) represent an entry point for challenges to successful adoption for sustainable commercial farmers. [...] However, some robots may be designed specifically to operate in a given location, based The concept of Agriculture 4.0 is closely linked on the parameters of a particular farm; this limits to the use of ICTs and is heavily reliant on the the usability of the equipment and compromises availability of adequate IT infrastructure to business models that imply input sharing or acquire, process and shar.
