The manufacturing sector attributes the growing prominence of Drones and Internet (IoD) systems to their multifaceted utility in delivery, process monitoring, infrastructure inspection, inventory management, predictive maintenance, safety inspections. Despite potential benefits, adopting these technologies faces significant obstacles that need systematic identification resolution. current literature inadequately addresses barriers impeding adoption IoD manufacturing, indicating a research gap. This study bridges this gap by providing comprehensive insights facilitating organisational transition towards embracing Drone technologies. identifies 20 critical deploying manufacturing. These are validated through global quantitative survey 120 experts analyzed via Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). EFA categorises challenges into six distinct dimensions. Utilizing Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), dimensions individual ranked, incorporating feedback from five specialists. highlights 'Safety Human Resource Barriers' 'Payload Capacity Battery as most predominant obstacles. Key concerns include limited battery life, explosion risks, damage assets individuals. significantly advances existing presenting practical methodology for categorising prioritising barriers. Employing AHP offers globally relevant framework stakeholders strategically address challenges, advancing integration drones domain.

The global agricultural paradigm is witnessing a transformative shift with the advent of precision agriculture. While large-scale enterprises have been swift in their embrace this innovation, its uptake among small-scale farmers remains nuanced and complex. This study elucidates multi-faceted determinants that influence adoption agriculture within farming sector. adopts systematic literature review approach, meticulously selecting analysing 29 relevant papers. Drawing upon an exhaustive empirical analyses, research presents composite framework weaving economic, technological, social, environmental factors. Among these, social dynamics emerge as most significant factor, shaped by awareness levels, knowledge dissemination pathways, entrenched cultural norms. These elements often intertwine ingrained traditional practices perceptions, forming intricate layer shaping attitudes. Notably, although economic factors like substantial initial investments calculus Return on Investment are present, they overshadowed considerations. technological landscape characterised challenges digital literacy, infrastructural readiness, interoperability. Lastly, imperatives, underscored resource scarcity, climate change resilience, ecosystem services, offer both motivations.
