In a Kauppalehti article (published on April 29) Mtech’s Chief AI Officer Anton Hokkonen discusses the role of artificial intelligence in business operations. The same mindset is reflected in Mtech’s own development work: AI is not built as a separate experiment, but directly integrated into everyday farming and production processes.
In the interview, Mtech Digital Solutions’ Chief AI Officer Anton Hokkonen highlights that AI is not just a standalone tool or an IT department experiment, but a factor that is transforming business operations.
This can also be seen concretely in Mtech’s solutions, where AI has already been implemented in agriculture for several years.
AI as Part of Processes
According to Hokkonen, utilizing AI is not a single technical project, but requires companies to examine and develop their own processes.
In agriculture, this means for example:
• utilizing production data in decision-making
• integrating forecasts into daily planning
• streamlining routines without increasing workload
In Mtech’s development work, AI has not been built as a separate layer, but as part of existing systems and working methods.
AgINTEL Brings AI Into Practice
Mtech’s AgINTEL solution suite is an example of how AI can be applied concretely on farms.
AgINTEL solutions help with:
• forecasting yields already during the growing season
• supporting cultivation and production decisions
• simplifying daily work tasks
The solution has been developed systematically over the long term and has also received recognition within the industry – AgINTEL was awarded in the KoneAgria innovation competition.
Practical Benefits Are What Matter
According to Hokkonen, the value of AI only emerges when it brings measurable benefits to business operations and everyday work.
On farms, this means:
• better decision-making
• time savings
• more proactive operations
AI is therefore not an end in itself, but a tool that helps utilize existing data more efficiently.
Development Continues
Mtech’s work with AI continues, and AgINTEL is only part of a broader ecosystem. In the future, the role of AI in agriculture will continue to grow – especially in supporting decision-making and optimizing production.
