Although Internet of Things (IoT) technology is expected to promote innovation, efficiency and productivity in the agricultural sector, agricultural companies must rush to improve the quality of existing employees and expand their recruitment skills in order to provide sufficient technology. An independent study commissioned by Inmarsat found that while agricultural companies are moving toward IoT, most companies lack the talent and skills to use IoT.
According to reports, market research firm Vanson Bourne interviewed 100 large agricultural companies around the world and found that more than 46% of agricultural technology companies have fully deployed IoT solutions; another 16% have already deployed some. However, many companies still lack the necessary skills to effectively deploy IoT technology.
In addition, the agricultural technology business needs skills improvement at the strategic level, and 65% of the respondents find a talent gap. In the management and delivery of loT deployments, more than 50% of respondents said they lacked employees.
The study also revealed specific IoT skills that agricultural technology companies lack. 55% of agricultural technology companies lack network security personnel, while 53% lack analysts and technology talent.
Chris Harry-Thomas, director of agricultural development at Inmarsat, said that IoT is the front line of the agricultural revolution, bringing digital nervous systems with networked automation equipment and sensing networks. Farmers are using these technologies to dramatically increase farming efficiency and precision, automate irrigation systems, and optimize fertilization to increase yields.
The automation of these processes can reduce the manual intervention of agricultural land, but bring new demands from technicians in the fields of data analysis and network security. With the full development of digital transformation, many traditional industries are robbing digital experts to support their IoT projects.
Competing with Silicon Valley Technology for skilled employees will be a major challenge for the agricultural technology industry. However, if these companies wish to bear the burden of data security and build a market share in the agricultural sector, they must recruit relevant professional staff.
Thomas believes that strategic partnerships with third parties can help agricultural companies bridge the talent gap in their IoT skill portfolio. For agricultural technology companies to successfully develop IoT solutions, they must upgrade existing employees and attract new talent.
In the long run, the focus should be on building strategic partnerships with IoT Professionals. With greater economies of scale, professional partners can integrate complex IoT solutions across multiple communication networks, including satellite and mobile data, to deploy advanced IoT networks in agriculture.
