PRINCIPLES OF INTEGRATION THE AGRI-DRONES IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS. NEW CONCEPTS TOWARDS AGRICULTURE-5.0

Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have a crucial contribution to the development of precision agriculture (PA). Agricultural drones or agri-drones make the rapid transition from the military system (UAVs) to domestic applications in the PA, in order to provide the necessary support to farmers for the surveillance of large crops and / or in carrying out operations to protect or stimulate crops. This revolutionary leap contributes to the considerable savings of the farmer, as well as to the revolution of traditional agriculture towards intelligent agriculture or PA. Managerial decisions based on the three principles presented in the paper (EVI - Enhanced Vegetation Index, ZP - Zero Pollution and ROI - Return on Investment) are easier to make through the approach driven by digital technology. The information-based management cycle lays foundations for sustainable PA of the future (agriculture-5.0)

Smart-Field of the Farm, First Relevant Link of Transparent Path of Grapes in the Farm to Fork Value Chain: A Revue

Data-based farming facilitates the zonal management (Smart-FIELD) in the smart farm (SF) vineyards. The classic SCADA for data acquisition and processing system, used especially in rapid industrial processes, can also be adapted for the slow processes (during a vegetation period) of horticultural crops (including the vineyards). The Smart-SCADA core software activities will develop through AI modules the CPS technique for integrating IoT devices with operational applicability in vineyards SF. The Web Smart-SCADA core interconnection with the European platforms in use (UTOPIA, ATLAS, DEMETER, PANTHEON, SmartAgriHubs, …) will add value in the transparency of the traceability of the F2F value chain of grapes
