Frequently asked questions
What is Agtech?
Agtech is the collective term for the tools and technologies – sensors, farm management software, imagery, and smart farm equipment – that enable best practice agriculture. It also describes the connected systems that collect, collate, store and analyse large quantities of spatial and non-spatial data to support and action decisions. In the case of the Farms of the Future program, it is focused on connectivity and IoT based Agtech, which can support, and integrate, into a farm wide technology approach.
What is Internet of Things?
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the collective network of connected devices and the technology that facilitates communication between devices, the cloud, as well as the devices themselves. The Internet of Things integrates everyday ‘things’ with the internet.
Examples of farm IoT devices include:
- Fuel level monitors
- Water level sensors
- Security cameras
- Water flow sensors
- Pump and valve controls and monitors
- Livestock tags and in paddock weigh stations
