Analysis of Cyclicity in Technique and Technology Evolution across Different Technological Paradigms with the Example of the Dairy Industry

Based on the evolving trends in software and IT technologies, smart sensors managing plant and animal development, local meteorological stations transmitting signal information on weather change, robotics, etc., the agricultural system has, in general, actively started exploiting the fifth technological paradigm using some of the sixth pattern’s elements associated with nanobiotechnology, generation of target plants and animals, etc. The surveys were performed in order to analyze the cyclicity in certain phases of technique and technology evolution across different technological paradigms of agricultural production. Future development of the industry, particularly dairy farming, should be based on creating high-efficient sustainable digital outcome-based agricultural companies with a concept of converging nano-bio-info-co-technologies, internet of things, and artificial intelligence systems. The strategy of cyclicity in developing certain phases and organizational-economic forms across different technological paradigms may be used to predict the evolution of machinery and the agrotechnology system with a growing consumer demand for high-quality natural organic products of crop and livestock farming, taking into consideration the need for maintaining a certain equilibrium in evolution between different management systems. Mathematical models of main variations for a shift from the livestock mechanization technologies to the robotic process automation in dairy farming taken as an example have been developed based on the theory of algebra of logic. It is reasonable to use the principle of additivity with the phased applications of the information communication component and the biosensor system to the industrial setting (tractors, farm machinery, milking machines, etc.) through functional upgrading of the agrotechnologies in order to avoid their higher capital intensity and intraparadigm frequent changes.
