The modul inculdes lectures and industrial presentations. Next to lectures  workshops might be integrated in addtion.

Informationtechnologie in farming applications / digital farming continues to settle on farms. The introduction of GNSS in the late 90th opened new possibilties to connect machines and robots (M2M or M2X) in a farming environment 4.0. New approaches into AI will expand the range of applications to a new level of farming. 

Teaching inculdes basics of information technology in farming, the application of key systems on farm (D-GPS, GIS, CAN-BUS, ISO-BUS...and Ethernet) data management and transfer, knowledge of simulation tools and data standards maintaining performance and quality aspects.  

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Homework / Assignment

Written thesis about 30-50 pages in small groups (3-5 students). Oral presentation of thesis about 20-40 min during lecture.

Modules "Physikalische Grundlagen der Agrartechnik und Sensorik, Agritechnische Maschinen und Ger?te" good englisch skills and optional modules in related topics are recommended.

Students are knowing the basic stuctural elements of a farming information system and are able to run the system components in a practical environment.

Studends are capable in defining the technical requirements of a IT system on farm.

Students understand the technical backround, are capable to assess and to use the technology in a practial manner.

Early interaction with state of the art technology in farming. Development of a secure understanding of how to select the appropriate solutions.

Students are working together in groups on technical subjects and are learning to do written and oral presentations based on scientific rules. 

Students are capable to understand complex technical systems and thus as a result can make a selection for a solution.
