Koidra is applying reinforcement learning to industrial processes, with an initial focus on agriculture. Using this sort of machine learning can increase the volume of food produced while reducing the use of water, fertilizers and pesticides, according to the company.
Don’t you know that in addition to greenhouse growing, we’re also controlling energy systems such as industrial boilers and dryers at factories, improving their throughput and energy efficiency?
