    The document discusses using digital transformation and smart farming systems to address problems in agriculture. It describes a system developed using sensors to automate agricultural tasks in order to reduce manual labor and pollution from fertilizers and pesticides. While the system provides benefits, concerns are raised about increased costs for farmers and the need for engineers to maintain complicated algorithms. Digital transformation is seen as important for developing smart farming solutions, but challenges include ensuring internet access and providing farmers sufficient knowledge to control new systems. Adapting this system to Thai agriculture faces difficulties but may be possible if farmers receive more training and innovations reach all areas.

    Digital Transformation in Agriculture


     
    “Smart Farming System Using Sensors for Agriculture Task Automation”
     
    From this case study, it showed that the major problem faced in many agricultural
    areas is lack of mechanization in agricultural activities so, many of activities is carried
    out by manual labour, using conventional tools such as plough, sickle, etc. also the
    groundwater is polluted due to the usage of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, so the
    researchers developed the system by using digital transformation to solve these
    problems.
     
    Even though there are various benefits from the system, in the future this system
    might cause more cost to acknowledge the farmers to use it and also the internet must
    be accessed in every area. Moreover, if there are any problems, the engineers who
    developed the system may need to examine and fix it themselves because the
    algorithms are very complicated.
     
    The good thing about this system is that it is quite wild and covers every agricultural
    context, so it is up to the developers which way they wanted to extend the system in
    the future and which way is suitable for the farmers in each section.
     
    To develop the smart farming in order to solve agricultural problems digital
    transformation is quite important such as the researchers use Optocoupler or opto-
    isolator as a sensors and GSM module received the signal, in the meantime, sensors
    trigger also connected to green manure, seeds, compost, and water container. After the
    triggering action, the necessary components are splashed on the field. By these
    actions, not only digital transformation is important, but also the knowledge in
    technology and engineering is required in the projects. Which means if professionals
    in every department in each country are collaborated, they can improve agriculture to
    reach its efficiency in the future.  
     
    In my point of view, adapting this system to Thai agriculture is quite hard to do.
    Because the farmers have to control the system by having a wireless communication
    with global system for mobile communication module (GSM) which means the
    farmers must access the internet, unfortunately, not every area in Thailand can use the
    internet. The system also used a lot of technology to develop them and many farmers
    in Thailand don’t have enough knowledge to control the systems. But nothing is
    impossible, I believe that if the farmers recieve more knowledge and innovations are
    accessible in every area in Thailand, digital transformation will be able to solve tons
    of problems in Thai agriculture.
