Kompetenceområder
Basic Science
Gain detailed knowledge about principles of closed-loop controlls. Understanding sources of uncertainty including biological and spatial variability.
Applied Science and Technology
Understand principles of close-loop controlled processes and related control algorithms to optimize complex processes as common today. Knowledge and selection of relevant sensor technologies for data acquisition.
Apply principles of sampling and geo-statistics to determine and analyse variability.
Knowledge about methods to convert data into information for decision support.
Able to analyse and propose automated processes for precision monitoring, controlling and treating complex systems.
Ethics&Values
Awareness and reflection on environmental and food quality aspects for increased sustainability of food production systems.
 
Kursets målsætning
The course provides knowledge and specified skills on methodologies to describe and control processes to improve production efficiency and food quality as well as to reduce negative environmental impacts.
Students will be able to apply methods to contol complex production systems in order to optimise production efficiency and sustainability and product quality.
 
Kursusindhold
Latest information technology and equipment is used to show how to increase production efficiency by optimising input parameters (fertilisers, chemicals, fodder and energy) and production modes. Teaching subjects are positioning systems (e.g. GPS), geographic information systems (GIS), geo- and sampling statistics, sensor systems, yield logging and mapping, tractor implement systems, precision animal, crop and horticultural production, variable rate technology, traceability, autonomous vehicles and robots.
This course is considered as important for students seeking jobs with responsibilities of agricultural management in extension, education, manufacturing, sale, development, testing and research.
The course is adapted to fit into the NOVA-University (HU, KVL, NHL, SLU, BH) and NORBE framework with its offered courses.
 
Undervisningsform
Central parts of the course subjects are introduced during lectures and exercises. Problem solving skills are gained in the second half of the course during problem oriented project work.
 
Målbeskrivelse
Stipulated in "Areas of Competence the Course Will Address"
 
Litteraturhenvisninger
Basic textbook chapters, primary and review literature describing principles, research and developments will be provided.
