Infosys

Technology Category	Analytics & Modeling - Big Data Analytics Networks & Connectivity - Cellular Sensors - Camera / Video Systems Sensors - Environmental Sensors
Applicable Industries	Agriculture
Applicable Functions	Process Manufacturing
Use Cases	Agriculture Disease & Pest Management
Challenge	The global population is continuing to grow at a rapid pace placing increasing demands on the global food supply. In addition, impacts from climate change and a yearly reduction of available arable land will require the Agricultural sector to develop better ways of increasing crop yields and reducing costs. GOAL The goal for the Precision Crop Management Testbed is to create an environment where IoT solutions with the potential to impact world hunger can be developed. Read More
