Farming in the era of Industrie 4.0

Consistent supply chain management across all levels of value creation is a common approach in the industrial sector. The implementation in agricultural processes requires rethinking the supply chain concept. The reasons are the heuristic characterised processes, the stochastic environmental conditions, the mobility of the production facilities and the low division of work. In this paper we deal with how concepts of innovative supply chain management in the era of Industrie 4.0 could not only deliver a way to overcome said problems but also provide the foundation for the development of new forms of work and business models for Farming 4.0.
