Nowadays, agriculture had become one of the most important economic activities in the world. Around the world, agriculture activity can provide fibre, feed, fuel and food to support human’s life. However, according to World Population Prospects of United Nations, the population of human will increase close to 8 billion in year 2020. These indicate that the competitions between human that crave for same amount of natural resources will increasing. Due to this fact, agriculture automation system plays an important role in the society to solve the problems and agricultural production needs. By definition, agriculture automation is a type of technologies computer aided farm management system to encircle the contributions of experts in several disciplines. In present time, the potential of using microcomputer had become very broad in several fields of agriculture sector. For example, modern farmers have started using agriculture automation system for farming operation such as harvesting, pruning, thinning, weed removal and spraying. The development of agriculture autonomous systems have introduced new mechanisation system instead of blanket energy and labour energy which can …show more content…
One of the benefits is it can reduce the crop production time. Today, the invention of automation system in agriculture enable the harvesting and production rate much higher than labour worker. They can operate at day and night continuously without rest. Take for example, the automated vine pruner that cut the weed around each rows of vine within five seconds due to its solar powered battery. The invented automation systems also consist of sensor and control system that will improve production line. For example, the irrigation automation system contain closed loop system and open loop system which use to control how much of water need to apply on crop in one days without causing the deficit of water in
