Society is becoming digitalised. Even in unexpected ways. Consider agriculture, for example. Digital technologies make it possible to know how the crops and soil are doing even while the plants are growing. Smart technology such as sensors, microprocessors, wireless communication, ICT, drones, robots, and artificial intelligence can help us make industrial processes more efficient and easier. All these smart technologies are then connected with each other using the Internet of Things (IoT). Thanks to this digitalisation, we are better informed throughout the value chain and can make better decisions. The Smart Industry professorship deals with the role of digitalisation in our society.
