NCC SLING webinar: Revolutionising Agriculture with HPC and AI: Real-World Applications

Join us for the webinar “Revolutionising Agriculture with HPC and AI: Real-World Applications on Tuesday, September 24th, 2024, starting at 14:00 CET organised by National Competence Centre SLING.

The event is designed for businesses, engineers, technology experts, researchers and farmers working in the Agriculture sector who would like to shift their know-how and explore the transformative power of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in agriculture.

Discover how these advanced technologies drive innovation, improve crop yields, enhance resource management, and promote sustainable farming practices. Learn from real-world case studies and see why HPC and AI are essential tools for addressing the future challenges of agriculture, from precision farming to climate resilience.

Programme and speakers:

14:00–14:20: Stevan Čakić, DigitalSmart: AIoT and HPC Fusion for Sustainable Farms
14:20–14:40: Tomaž Bokan, ITC MS:  Embark on an exploration of cutting-edge AI tools revolutionizing the agrifood sector, showcased through innovative EU co-funded projects
Exploration of AI-supported tools in the agrifood sector will be showcased through examples from EU co-funded projects. The session will highlight how AI-driven innovations are transforming precision farming, food processing, and supply chain optimization, enhancing both efficiency and sustainability.
14:40–15:00: Federico Battini, IFAB:  Improving weather forecasts with limited effort: a classifier-based approach
The presentation will outline the development of a weather classifier that, given two numerical weather prediction models, is able to select the most accurate model for each grid cell and forecast time step, thus improving forecast quality with limited effort.
15:00–15:20: Prof. Dr. Janez Perš, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana: Using HPC and AI for Precision Agriculture in Tomato Monitoring and Growth
The presentation will discuss how High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be applied in agriculture, with an emphasis on close-range monitoring of tomato crops for growth optimization. It will focus on practical issues when using image segmentation and multispectral imaging, specifically for detailed, on-the-ground data collection.

Participation is free and registration is mandatory.
