107. Will Your Next Tractor Think for Itself?

AI is going to change the future for farmers and engineers, but perhaps not in the way you might think… This week, Kit and Ray gather around the crystal ball with Mark Wood from Control Technologies UK to explore the future of farming and off-highway machinery—and ask where the real payback lies. From AI-generated code to machines that make their own decisions, the trio explore what’s coming for developers, engineers and operators. Mark explains how CAN communication is evolving, why Ethernet could transform what machines are capable of, and why the data we already collect could be worth far more than we realise. But could the biggest financial gains come from predicting breakdowns rather than taking the driver out of the cab? What if your machine could spot trouble developing and act before it brings the job to a halt? Smarter machines, fewer breakdowns and more money in your pocket—but who’s accountable when AI gets it wrong? Intro Audio License Code: QSER3CYHEHIMVRDC

AI is going to change the future for farmers and engineers, but perhaps not in the way you might think…
This week, Kit and Ray gather around the crystal ball with Mark Wood from Control Technologies UK to explore the future of farming and off-highway machinery—and ask where the real payback lies.
From AI-generated code to machines that make their own decisions, the trio explore what’s coming for developers, engineers and operators. Mark explains how CAN communication is evolving, why Ethernet could transform what machines are capable of, and why the data we already collect could be worth far more than we realise.
But could the biggest financial gains come from predicting breakdowns rather than taking the driver out of the cab? What if your machine could spot trouble developing and act before it brings the job to a halt?
Smarter machines, fewer breakdowns and more money in your pocket—but who’s accountable when AI gets it wrong?
