“…Even the availability and bandwidth of wireless connections are subject to disturbing influences, making constant communication difficult [ 17 ]. Moreover, wireless communication technology must provide coverages ranging from tens of meters to several kilometers since sensors could be deployed far and in remote locations within the crop field [ 1 ].…”

The questionnaire used in semi-structured interviews was based on the theory of planned behavior [19,73,85], focused on irrigation and agriculture [38], operations management [32][33][34], including questions about the challenges related to inspiration for Industry 4.0 [1,17,21,68]. The questionnaire is shown in Table A1 in Appendix A.…”

“…Agriculture is changing in recent years and, in the same way as the industry, is forced to modernize its work methodologies and to take advantage of opportunities offered by the Internet of things (IoT) [ 1 ]. Despite this progress, it still cannot be claimed that precision agriculture (PA) has been widely established [ 2 ].…”

“…For example, data by its nature in a scenario of Agriculture 4.0 becomes complex to manage both in terms of size and complexity of the analysis to be carried out [ 18 ]. A few mention some factors related to operation management, like the mobility of production facilities and coverage of agricultural fields [ 1 , 17 ]. However, these studies do not investigate the relationship between factors and the adoption of PA in the context of Agriculture 4.0.…”

In recent years, the concept of Agriculture 4.0 has emerged as an evolution of precision agriculture (PA) through the diffusion of the Internet of things (IoT). There is a perception that the PA adoption is occurring at a slower pace than expected. Little research has been carried out about Agriculture 4.0, as well as to farmer behavior and operations management. This work explores what drives the adoption of PA in the Agriculture 4.0 context, focusing on farmer behavior and operations management. As a result of a multimethod approach, the factors explaining the PA adoption in the Agriculture 4.0 context and a model of irrigation operations management are proposed. Six simulation scenarios are performed to study the relationships among the factors involved in irrigation planning. Empirical findings contribute to a better understanding of what Agriculture 4.0 is and to expand the possibilities of IoT in the PA domain. This work also contributes to the discussion on Agriculture 4.0, thanks to multidisciplinary research bringing together the different perspectives of PA, IoT and operations management. Moreover, this research highlights the key role of IoT, considering the farmer’s possible choice to adopt several IoT sensing technologies for data collection.

“…When the tree is fully bloomed, the negative temperatures may cause the flower to freeze, which could be translated in losing the harvest, and thus, having significant economic loses. Some techniques are available to protect crops from low temperatures such as protective covers, artificial fog, fans, application of chemical treatments, or sprinkler irrigation 5,6 …”

Agriculture is one of the key sectors where technology is opening new opportunities to break up the market. The Internet of Things (IoT) could reduce the production costs and increase the product quality by providing intelligence services via IoT analytics. However, the hard weather conditions and the lack of connectivity in this field limit the successful deployment of such services as they require both, ie, fully connected infrastructures and highly computational resources. Edge computing has emerged as a solution to bring computing power in close proximity to the sensors, providing energy savings, highly responsive web services, and the ability to mask transient cloud outages. In this paper, we propose an IoT monitoring system to activate anti-frost techniques to avoid crop loss, by defining two intelligent services to detect outliers caused by the sensor errors. The former is a nearest neighbor technique and the latter is the k-means algorithm, which provides better quality results but it increases the computational cost. Cloud versus edge computing approaches are analyzed by targeting two different low-power GPUs. Our experimental results show that cloud-based approaches provides highest performance in general but edge computing is a compelling alternative to mask transient cloud outages and provide highly responsive data analytic services in technologically hostile environments.
