Metaheuristic and Machine Learning-Based Smart Engine for Renting and Sharing of Agriculture Equipment

Recently, many companies have substituted human labor with robotics. Some farmers are sharing different perspectives on the incorporation of technology into farming techniques. Some are willing to accept the technology, some are hesitant and bemused to adapt modern technology, and others are uncertain and are worried about the potential of technology to cause havoc and decrease yields. The third group prevails the most in the developed world, for lack of know-how, including translation of utility and, most significantly, the expense involved. A special Smart Tillage platform is established to solve the above issues. A smart-engine-based decision has been developed, which further uses classification and regression trees to shift towards decision-making. The decision is focused entirely on different input factors, such as type of crop, time/month of harvest, type of plant required for the crop, type of harvest, and authorised rental budget. Sitting on top of this would be a recommendation engine that is powered by deep learning network to suggest the escalation of a farmer from lower to higher category, namely, small to medium to large. A metaheuristic is one of the best computing techniques that help for solving a problem without the exhaustive application of a procedure. Recommendations will be cost-effective and suitable for an escalating update depending on the use of sufficient amends, practices, and services. We carried out a study of 562 agriculturists. Owing to the failure to buy modern equipment, growers are flooded by debt. We question if customers will be able to rent and exchange appliances. The farmers would be able to use e-marketplace to develop their activities.

Automated summary

The incorporation of technology in farming techniques has divided farmers into different camps, with some willing to accept technology while others expressing hesitation and skepticism due to lack of expertise and cost involved. A special Smart Tillage platform has been developed to provide smart-engine based decision-making and deep learning network-powered recommendations to help farmers improve crop yields and scalability.
