Focus Workshop “Digital twin as a tool for agriculture"

Where is the potential for digital twins in agriculture?  Where can they be used and what functions do they perform to simplify agricultural processes and provide precise digital support?

On June 18, the Agrotech Valley Forum organized a focus workshop to discuss and evaluate the application possibilities and functions of digital twins in agriculture. Both companies and scientific institutions were invited to this event. The Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and the Joint Lab KI & DS provided a solid foundation with scientific presentations that offered an excellent basis for discussion.

Excursion study project - The Joint Lab also brings Osnabrück University and ATB Potsdam closer together in teaching.

A group of 13 students and lecturers from Osnabrück University went on a three-day excursion to the ATB in Potsdam at the end of May. The excursion is part of the study project in the Master's degree course in Geoinformatics. Together with researchers from ATB Potsdam and Osnabrück University, the students visited alternative agricultural systems such as agroforestry systems, short rotation plantations and paludicultures. They were then able to collect measurement data on the areas, which will be analyzed in the further course of the study project. A particular focus was on flights with drones equipped with various sensors such as simple cameras, multispectral cameras or laser scanners.
