How tomorrow’s farming technology drives productivity today
The latest technology is helping farmers find smart ways to do more with less:
- Drones and UAV technology can check for problem areas in crops within a matter of minutes
- AI software can then use this data to direct robotic systems to undertake spraying and harvesting
- Sensors can also help control seed-planting depth or measure chemical inputs.
But analysis and application make all the difference. That’s why digital tools must be complemented by in-person technical advice – meaning you need trusted expert services to: - Identify correct lubrication solutions
- Anticipate technical problems before they occur
- Train staff to keep equipment in peak operating condition
With the right guidance, technology can transform the agricultural sector – enabling you to better maintain valuable equipment, prevent downtime and avoid expensive, unplanned repairs.
Three ways to create a sustainable farming future
Sustainable farming places increasing importance on agricultural machinery working efficiently and reliably for optimum productivity.To achieve this, farmers should focus on three key areas:
Upgrade your technology
Technology is key to driving efficiency and exponentially scaling value delivered. Farmers and food producers now have access to more advanced precision equipment than ever before, as agriculture is increasingly revolutionised by industry 4.0. This includes:
- Drones to help growers monitor crops
- GPS technologies that help with soil sampling, field mapping and crop scouting
- Autonomous vehicles and robotic technology that support labour-intensive tasks
Choose the right lubrication*
Making sure your equipment can continually work at peak performance is an increasingly important part of farming more sustainably. Our industry research shows that:
- 68%* of farmers say that maximising the lifespan of existing equipment is a priority
- 41%* often experience equipment breakdown due to ineffective lubrication
Choosing the right lubrication for each application is vital for driving efficiency and sustainability.

Team up with the experts
Services such as Shell LubeMatch allow farmers to find the right lubricant for their equipment in seconds. While Shell LubeCoach offers an expert-led training programme to help employers, and their staff, deliver better performance through an in-depth lubrication training programme.
Products and collaboration are key solutions to this global challenge. And, with a little help, farmers can play an important role in delivering a sustainable future.
