Smart cities & Agriculture

Agricultural businesses can benefit greatly from automation platforms like Nokia Digital Automation Cloud. As in any industry, repeatable processes become trackable and more efficient with help from sensor-equipped machinery connected to the cloud. Massive amounts of data can be collected from fields, stables, greenhouses and other agricultural facilities via remote inspection. Rich information can be provided from central hubs to remote locations for better insight related to farm surveillance, crop health monitoring, livestock health monitoring and tracking, workforce dispatching and instructing.

Private wireless connectivity ensures that remote farms stay connected when there is insufficient public network coverage and enables the deployment of smart agriculture applications for real-time data analysis.

With reliable high capacity for machine-to-farm communication and low latency for machine-to-machine connection, smart farms can truly benefit from advanced applications like field robots, automated drone flights, automated guided driving and processing, vehicle platooning and so on.

Nokia Digital Automation Cloud provides a flexible hybrid business model for private network services and edge computing for everything from small remote sites to large projects and networks. The plug and play network can be easily expanded. Operations do not require special telecommunications skills.

Use private wireless connectivity to retrofit your existing infrastructure to enable condition monitoring, distributed sensing, high and low throughput data collection, diagnostics and analytics. With reliable connectivity, you can benefit from rich communication with [showmore] farm and forestry machines and workforce, utilizing ad-hoc in-field connected hotlines and expert support services. 

Pervasive, reliable connectivity enables automated guided driving and processing, advanced machine guidance, vehicle platooning, fleet management, precision farming, etc. Likewise, farming robots such as agricultural field robots and automated [showmore]

drone flights can be employed for more efficient field management, swarm supervision and so on. As more machines and processes become   automated, a central location can operate multiple machines in the field, making suggestions and relaying additional information.

With high capacity, low latency private wireless networking you can facilitate remote inspection, smart communication, farm surveillance, crop health monitoring, livestock health monitoring and tracking, as well as workforce dispatching and instructing.
