5G-Enabled testing at James Hutton innovation hubs for more efficient crop monitoring and management
Image
The project revolved around two themes at Hutton. The first, looking at automating irrigation for efficient water use, which brings together an interconnected network of sensors which monitor conditions in the crop and responds real-time to control irrigation water supply. This is based on polytunnel fruit production for the use case demonstration, but is also relevant to vegetable and potato crops. The second theme is on retrofitting autosteer and telemetry to older equipment to provide sub-centimetre steering accuracy and real time data from the tractor over a 5G data connection.

These trials got the attention of BBC Scotland flagship show, Landward. They demonstrated how 5G can be integrated with existing robotic systems, allowing real-time data collection, seamless control, and increased operational precision. The Scotland 5G Centre played a pivotal role in establishing and engineering the private 5G infrastructure, cellular equipment (CPEs) and enabling low-latency communication for autonomous vehicle control and data streaming.
