Embedded Executive: Zach Bonefas, Automation Technology Leader, John Deere

John Deere is obviously a leader in the agriculture space. Most of us know the company for its tractors, and products that are related to farming, etc.

However, it’s come to my attention that AI is now front and center in many of the company’s products, particularly for “precision farming.” I found this surprising and interesting. How and why that’s happening is where I started with Zach Bonefas, an Automation Technology Leader at John Deere in this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
