Abstract – In the past few years, Indian agriculture field is moving towards automation step by step from the conventional. Farmers are getting concentrated about using the latest technologies to increase the productivity in their field. They are also conscious about the price of their product. As price depends on the quality of product, their main aim is to improve quality of product. Uniformity is also a major factor which affects the cost of product. It is also taken into consideration while planning for packaging, transportation and marketing.    Many of the farmers especially in Maharashtra region are taking fruits like Amla, lemon, Orange, mandarin, mango as a major product in their farms. There are some vegetables also like onion, tomato, garlic. There are many products and varieties are available in market of these products but the quality and uniformity is major price affecting factors. For the ease of operation, every field is getting atomized. The automation will reduce the human interference in work and this helps to reduce the error occurred during operation. Automation also gives advantage of accuracy, time saving, increased productivity and higher efficiency. As like advantages, this may lead to some disadvantages also. Initial cost of machine will be higher. Automation requires fully trained or skilled special labor force, so the labor cost can be higher. As number of components of machines is increased, maintenance cost may increase. By the view of employment, this will lead to unemployment also.
