This document outlines an emerging technology leadership program for the SCF team. It discusses exploring robotics, sensors, data, and blockchain technologies in horticulture. The program aims to build leadership skills through workshops, webinars, coaching, and online courses over 1-3 years. Emerging technologies discussed include sensors to monitor various variables, robots for tasks like spraying and harvesting, and blockchain to improve supply chain transparency and reduce costs. The program seeks to prepare participants for how these technologies could impact SCF's business operations and strategies.

Emerging Tech Trends in Horticulture
Business Environment is changing More competition global Falling numbers of skilled and semi-skilled people Changing work habits and expectations Increasing safety and OHS responsibilities for business Tech has reached a change point cloud, mobile internet, AI, sensors
The pace of change is increasing Companies looking to bring a commercial robot to Agriculture 2014 2 2015 27 2017 220+ John Deere acquires Blue River Technology for US$306M All major corporations are investing large amounts of money IBM has invested heavily in blockchain technologies
Emerging Tech Sensors Robots Blockchain Energy
Sensors Vast array of sensors to measure variables Deployed on satelites, stations, vehicles, drones, equipment & robots Integrated technologies cloud, Internet of things Linked array of sensors Sense-T Use RFID, GPS and comms tech Combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) this can be very powerful Data analysis is critical
What are sensors measuring? Weather, climate, micro-climates Water quality, volume, flow Tree health, soil health, canopy cover, vegetative growth Fruit size, quality, colour, volume Weed density and type Fruit, machinery and people movements
Robots Exo-skeletons Toolbars not tractors Single PurposeLabour Saving
How will we use this tech? Intelligent spray systems weed control Intelligent fertilizer and pest systems Intelligent irrigation and crop watering autonomous inter-row cultivation Harvest, pruning and thinning robots Packhouse robots Transit tracking systems Lifting systems robots, exo-skeletons Dangerous, toxic or unsafe tasks
How do you see that this tech will impact SCF?

Blockchain I give up what is it?
Blockchain Definition: a digital ledger in which transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded chronologically and publicly Source: Dictionary.com Big smart accounting ledger stored in 5,000+ locations Records data and triggers actions based on predetermined contracts only when 50% plus 1 locations agree Leverages digital currency e.g. Bitcoin to have fast financial transactions at low cost Records are immutable and nearly impossible to hack
How will blockchain work in Ag? Major banks and food companies all have blockchain teams Looking to strip costs from the supply chain Seeking to use it to secure provenance of food products Its coming whether you like it or not!

Blockchain Next Steps Blockchain will driven by upstream players but we will need to be ready for it Your thoughts?
Power Changing face of business
The rationale for changing Costs are increasing Irrigated agriculture are high users of power seasonal Power tech is increasing in efficiency and decreasing in cost Game changer is the falling cost of battery storage Australia is well-positioned to optimize the use of solar Solar locks in the cost of energy for 20 years Game is more about power management and the integration of different power and storage sources to reduce cost
How will it work? Voltage regulation tech reduce cost per KWh Solar generation plus batteries/diesel generators lock in cost per KWh Direct drive tech for irrigation pumps enables effective use of alternative power localized solar and batteries Electric vehicles, tractors, quad bikes, farm bikes, robots optimize use of stored power at lower operating and maintenance costs. Micro Power Grids supply your own power to yourself and neighbours THIS TECH IS COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE NOW!
Can we take advantage of this now?
