Abstract

This study assesses the value capture of a result-oriented Product-Service System offer that constitutes a post-harvest solution. Applying the reinforcement learning reward system and general linear models, we identified the Brazilian farmer's propensities to choose different products and services from the proposed system. Reinforcement learning enables one to understand the choice process by rewarding the attributes selected and applying penalties to those not chosen. Regarding product options, farmers' most valued attributes were extended capacity, fixed installation, automatic dryer, and CO₂ emission control, considering the investigated system. Regarding service options, the farmers opted for maintenance plans, performance reports, no photovoltaic energy, and purchase over the rental modality. These results assist managers through a reward learning system that constantly updates the value assigned by farmers to product and service attributes. They allow real-time visualization of changes in farmers' preferences regarding the product-service system configurations.

期刊介绍： Information Processing in Agriculture (IPA) was established in 2013 and it encourages the development towards a science and technology of information processing in agriculture, through the following aims: • Promote the use of knowledge and methods from the information processing technologies in the agriculture; • Illustrate the experiences and publications of the institutes, universities and government, and also the profitable technologies on agriculture; • Provide opportunities and platform for exchanging knowledge, strategies and experiences among the researchers in information processing worldwide; • Promote and encourage interactions among agriculture Scientists, Meteorologists, Biologists (Pathologists/Entomologists) with IT Professionals and other stakeholders to develop and implement methods, techniques, tools, and issues related to information processing technology in agriculture; • Create and promote expert groups for development of agro-meteorological databases, crop and livestock modelling and applications for development of crop performance based decision support system. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Smart Sensor and Wireless Sensor Network • Remote Sensing • Simulation, Optimization, Modeling and Automatic Control • Decision Support Systems, Intelligent Systems and Artificial Intelligence • Computer Vision and Image Processing • Inspection and Traceability for Food Quality • Precision Agriculture and Intelligent Instrument • The Internet of Things and Cloud Computing • Big Data and Data Mining
