Autonomous, adaptive agricultural systems are becoming increasingly important for practical farming, as the availability of qualified labour is decreasing and many new systems are able to react to changing conditions during the process with the help of sensors and control electronics. EuroTier 2024 is dedicated to this topic with this year’s Barn Robot Event. At the world’s leading trade fair for professional animal husbandry and livestock management, which takes place from 12 to 15 November in Hanover, Germany, automatic feed pushers for dairy and beef cattle will be presented in Hall 13. The digitization will also be the focus of the 16th Agricultural Workers’ Day, which will take place on 14 November at the EuroTier exhibition grounds. The main theme of this year’s event is: ‘AI and digitalisation in the agricultural sector – effects on the world of work’.
This year’s Barn Robot Event,Hall 13, Stand F45, will be presented by the new DLG platform ‘FarmRobotix’. A combination of exhibition, live demonstrations, technical programme and netorking, FarmRobotix features comprehensive information on applied robotics, digitalisation, automation and AI in agriculture.
