AgriNEXT

AgriNEXT, led by Xilbi Sistemas de Información SL, is an AI-powered platform enhancing the UMA Testbed with AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) tools. Leveraging UMA’s 5G and pre-6G infrastructure, AgriNEXT delivers edge-powered precision agriculture solutions that optimize resource use and operational efficiency.

Validated at UMA’s experimental farm, La Mayora, the platform operates across off-grid, intermittent, and interconnected scenarios to ensure scalability and resilience.

The system integrates IoT sensors, robotics, and 5G-enabled drones to collect data on soil, crops, and climate, processed locally using edge computing. Its 2D/3D digital twin models provide a virtual representation of the farm environment, accessible via web interfaces and AR glasses, offering operators actionable insights for irrigation, pest management, and crop monitoring. Satellite data, like Copernicus imagery, enhances AI predictions, ensuring comprehensive field analysis.

Aligned with the European Green Deal’s “Farm to Fork” initiative and SDG 2, AgriNEXT promotes sustainable farming, reducing resource waste and pesticide use while increasing productivity. Through network slicing, edge AI, and scalable software, it fosters rural economic growth, creating skilled jobs and driving technological adoption in agriculture. With a Serviceable Available Market (SAM) of €250 million by 2028, AgriNEXT advances 6G-PATH’s vision of scalable AI-driven connectivity across critical industries.
