Enhancing Agricultural Productivity: The Impact of Safety Management and Human Factors in Smart Farming Systems
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This paper explores the critical role of safety management and human factors in enhancing productivity within smart farming systems. With increasing global demand for food production, smart farming has emerged as a key solution by integrating advanced technologies like IoT, robotics, and data analytics. While these technologies offer potential benefits such as cost reduction, improved yields, and better resource management, they also present challenges related to high initial costs, limited digital literacy among farmers, and fluctuating infrastructure support. This study emphasises the importance of aligning safety management with human factors to mitigate risks and optimise operational efficiency. A comprehensive approach that considers both human-centred design and safety protocols is essential for ensuring the success of smart farming systems. The findings suggest incorporating safety management and human factors can lead to sustainable, efficient agricultural practices and foster broader adoption of smart farming technologies.
