DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY: BIG DATA

ANALYTICS REVOLUTION IN SMART
FARMING

The nature of agricultural production system in Indonesia is very diverse from
shifting cultivation to intensive crop farming, from rain-fed to intensive-irrigated
paddy field, from vegetables mix farming to monoculture industrial plantations,
from subsistence small-scale farming to large-scale commercial plantation.  
As the fourth most populous country in the world that is inhabited by 250 million
people, agriculture plays a substantial role in Indonesian economy which
generates close to half of total employment and accounts for about a fifth of
GDP, as well as the very important contributor of export.  
Notwithstanding the great potential resources and market demand, the sustainability
of agriculture in the country remains challenging. The challenge is how to
continue the agricultural development and economic growth that is needed to
improve the quality of life and the basic needs of the growing population while at
the same time to protect the environment by reducing the pressure on the
carrying capacity.
So, here’s come the idea of Smart Farming with using Big Data analysis. In order to improving the
agricultural side and help local farmer to get better production.

The Current Condition of Agriculture in

Indonesia

Smart farming is a development that emphasizes the use of

information and communication technology in the cyber-physical
farm management cycle.

New technologies such as the internet of things and cloud computing

are expected to leverage this development and introduce more
robots and articial intelligence in farming.

This is encompassed by the phenomenon of big data, massive

volumes of data with a wide variety that can be
captured, analysed and used for decision making.

Big data analytics refers to the strategy of analyzing large volumes of data,
or big data.

This big data is gathered from a wide variety of sources, including social
networks, videos, digital images, sensors, and sales transaction records.

The advanced analytics, could involves complex applications with elements

such as predictive models, statistical algorithms and what-if analysis
powered by high-performance analytics systems

The aim in analyzing all this data is to uncover patterns and connections
that might otherwise be invisible, and that might provide valuable insights
about the users who created it.

On a broad scale, data analytics technologies and techniques provide a

means to analyze data sets and draw conclusions about them to help
organizations make informed business decisions

within agriculture, these technologies include sensors, geospatial

datasets, as well as information from smart-connected devices
(e.g. machinery) linked to the cloud via the internet of things.

According to SAS, it is not the amount of data that is important, it

is what organizations do with the data that matters. big data can
be analyzed for insights that lead to better decisions to drive
competitive advantage. it therefore offers great opportunities in
agriculture which include:

1. vast potential to increase productivity and innovation

2. real-time insights to help performance optimization
3. the development of highly specific customer segmentations
4. data becoming a major source of competitive advantage

A business process is a set of logically related tasks performed to

achieve a defined business outcome.
Business processes can be subdivided into primary and supporting business
processes. Primary business processes are those involved in the creation of the
product, its marketing and delivery to the buyer.
Supporting business processes facilitate the development, deployment and
maintenance of resources required in primary processes.
The business processes of farming significantly differ between different types of
production, e.g. livestock farming, arable farming and greenhouse cultivation.
A common feature is that agricultural production is depending on natural
conditions, such as climate (day length and temperature), soil, pests, diseases
and weather.

Management or control processes ensure that the business process objectives are
achieved, even if disturbances occur. The basic idea of control is the introduction
of a controller that measures system behaviour and corrects if measurements are
not compliant with system objectives. Basically, this implies that they must have a
feedback loop in which a norm, sensor, discriminator, decision maker, and
effector are present.
• Sensing and monitoring: measurement of the actual performance of the farm
processes. This can be done manually by a human observer or automated by
using sensing technologies such as sensors or satellites. In addition, external data
can be acquired to complement direct observations.
• Analysis and decision making: compares measurements with the norms that
specify the desired performance (system objectives concerning e.G. Quantity,
quality and lead time aspects), signals deviations and decides on the appropriate
intervention to remove the signalled disturbances.
• Intervention: plans and implements the chosen intervention to correct the farm
processes' performance.

DATA CHAIN
The data chain refers to the sequence of activities from data
capture to decision making and data marketing. It includes all
activities that are needed to manage data for farm management.
Being an integral part of business processes, the data chain
consists necessarily of a technical layer that captures raw data
and converts it into information and a business layer that makes
decisions and derives value from provided data services and
business intelligence. The two layers can be interwoven in each
stage and together they form the basis of what has come to be
known as the ‘data value chain’
