Abstract

In the paper, using the multi-criteria decision-making method SiWeC, the digitization criteria were evaluated on the example of medium- and heavy-duty tractors. A fuzzy variant of the multi-criteria decision-making method was used in order to obtain as precise assessment of the given ten qualitative criteria as possible. The results show that, according to the expert evaluation, the technical criterion “Precision of operations” gained the most importance, while immediately after them in importance were the criteria related to the level of work automation and digital connectivity. The results show important implications for decision makers, technology producers and the shaping of agricultural policy. In the future, the model needs to be expanded with impact criteria, and the number of decision-makers who would give a practical contribution, as well as a base for further development of the applied research method, should be increased.
