At the 2019 Agritechnica exposition in Hanover, Germany, John Deere displayed award-winning product innovations and showcased its Future Technology Zone – an exhibit highlighting advanced machine technology concepts that could drive future innovations in agriculture, the company reports. The exhibit included nine R&D prototypes focused on automation, electrification and artificial intelligence.

The automation display focused on ways machines could perform certain operations in the field with minimal human assistance. The electrification portion focused on replacing mechanical and hydraulic components to make machines more efficient and productive while supporting emission-free farming and a reduced CO2 footprint.
