  • Publication number: 20230281924
    Abstract: In an approach for improving operational efficiencies in IoT agricultural ecosystems, a processor receives a request from a user for a production plan to modify one or more values of a set of values of an area of interest. A processor maps the area of interest using a set of data originating from a LIDAR instrument to create a digital elevation model of the area of interest. A processor creates a knowledge set to train a decision engine. A processor calculates one or more modifications to be made to the one or more values of the set of values of the area of interest. A processor generates a map of applicable land options that the user may interact with to select the one or more modifications to be made to the one or more values of the set of values.

  • Publication number: 20230266729
    Abstract: An embodiment includes retrofitting an existing control device with an automation panel that senses manual actuation of a control element of the control device, and automatically actuates the control element in response to a specified control signal. The embodiment collects state data indicative of an actuation state of the control element and context data of conditions at a time that the state data is collected, and generates a training dataset comprising collected state data and sensor data. It then uses this data to train a classification model to predict a control element actuation state based on sensor data. The embodiment deploys the trained classification model to process sensor data and upon detecting a mismatch between a predicted actuation state output from the trained classification model and an actual actuation state of the control element, the embodiment transmits the specified control signal to the automation panel to actuate the control element.
