| 09:30 -09:50 | Antigone Marino, IEEE Photonics Society Italy Chapter President Massimo Rippa, CNR-ISASI Daniele Ercolini, Direttore dipartimento Agraria |
| 09:50-10:50 | Sarun Sumriddetchkajorn Unleashing the Power of Agri-Photonics Agri-photonics has shown benefits of light exploitation in agriculture. The integration of photonics and digital technologies has also assisted in paving the way for Agriculture 4.0 and beyond. This lecture encompasses the photonics-sensing in precision agriculture, aiming to navigate from pain points to prototypes. We show examples by delving into specific pain points in rice cultivation, fruit quality analysis, sericulture, and shrimp farming sectors. We also present cost-effective and scalable photonic-based prototypes as highly efficient remedies. Additionally, we introduce the concept of combining optical plasmonic sensing with quantum technology, opening doors to future advancements of photonics sensing systems for agriculture. |
