New jobs and tasks
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) shows that drones in the agricultural and agro-industrial sectors will generate significant improvements and benefits .
Advances in drone technology will be reflected in reducing or eliminating processes , efficiency in energy
Thus , there will be software developers to analyze the information generated by crops ; programmers of intelligent solutions to manage repetitive tasks in the field . There will also be remote operators for high-risk , time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks .
There will be experts in sensors . These will collaborate with telecommunications engineers so that drones can read the signals that these tiny devices provide
use and technical tasks such as soil analysis , planting , monitoring and maintenance of crops , irrigation and sanitary analysis of plants and animals . to foresters , veterinarians , farm managers and accountants , who will see their production conditions improved thanks to the information from the sensors .
Looking ahead , this may involve fleets or swarms of autonomous drones that could tackle agricultural monitoring tasks collectively , as well as hybrid aerialterrestrial drone actors that could collect data and perform a variety of functions , according to a study by MIT and PwC .
Today , we know that a new generation of jobs is emerging from developing technologies , hardware , software , applications , AI , analytics and learning solutions that will enrich the employment landscape by the middle of the next decade .
These new jobs will also arise from new businesses and start-ups . In this regard , investment expert Francesco Castellano comments in an article on the future of the drone business that “ as drone hardware has become more affordable to produce and buy , manufacturing and hardware itself will not drive industry growth in the future . Instead , services that operate and manage drones for companies will generate most of the value .”
Finally , it will not be strange to have agricultural programming drones to analyze crop , soil , water and temperature data in various terrains and geographies . Even drone mechanics who will help maintain the army of flying robots that will accompany scythes , motor pumps and other devices , will seem a bit dated compared to the intelligence and autonomy of drones .
Services that operate and manage drones for companies will generate most of the value .
“ Automating productivity , robotizing processes , seem to be actions of the industrial and commercial sector . Thanks to drones , analytics and sensors , the agricultural sector will be integrated into the Fourth Industrial Revolution , just as it happened a century ago when tractors and irrigation systems were introduced into the productive equation ,” concludes Sanchez . p
