The prospects of agricultural automation

‌The prospects for agricultural automation are very broad, with significant development potential and market demand. ‌

Definition and background of agricultural automation

Agricultural automation refers to the use of modern information technology and intelligent equipment to achieve automated control and intelligent management in the agricultural production process. With the advancement of science and technology and the development of modern agriculture, agricultural automation has become an important part of modern agriculture, aiming to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and improve product quality and sustainability‌12.

Application scenarios and technical trends of agricultural automation

Agricultural automation is widely used in many aspects, including precision agriculture, intelligent irrigation, unmanned agricultural machinery, crop monitoring, etc. By applying Internet of Things technology, real-time monitoring and data analysis of the agricultural production environment can be achieved, thereby providing more accurate management and decision-making support for agricultural production. In addition, the development of artificial intelligence technology makes agricultural automation expected to achieve more intelligent decision-making and management, and further improve the efficiency and quality of agricultural production‌1.

The impact of agricultural automation on the employment market

Graduates of agricultural automation majors have a wide range of employment opportunities. They can engage in management work in mechanization and automation, as well as technical work such as product design, manufacturing, application, and identification in relevant state-owned enterprises, wholly-owned joint ventures, and administrative management departments. In addition, they can also go to scientific research institutions and colleges and universities to engage in scientific research and education and teaching work ‌34. The salary of graduates increases with the increase of working years and experience. The salary of fresh graduates is generally around 4,200 yuan, the monthly salary after working for 2 years is about 7,444 yuan, and the monthly salary after working for 5 years is about 10,645 yuan ‌5.

The impact of agricultural automation on agricultural development

The development of agricultural automation will significantly improve agricultural production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve the quality and output of agricultural products. It can also help farmers better manage farmland, reduce resource waste, and improve economic benefits. However, compared with the advanced level in the world, my country's agricultural mechanization and automation still have a relatively large.
