Mouser explores smart tech in farming with agriculture resource hub
Mouser offers insights into the latest innovations in farming through its agriculture resource centre. Through the integration of sensors, drones, and AI, farmers have the capability to collect and analyse vast amounts of data. Technological advancements, like satellites, have enabled farmers to track changes in land use, such as crop growth and vegetation health, which helps feed the growing global population while maintaining sustainable practices. By gaining insights into the field, like pH and CO2 levels in the moisture content, they can better understand their soil quality, leading to enhanced crop yields.
IoT devices are added to optimise agricultural practices like RFID tagging livestock to track their movements and analyse the herd’s feeding behaviours, stress levels, and potential health issues. This new level of data analytics ensures that livestock and plants are receiving proper nourishment in various climates, as well as in greenhouse and indoor agriculture. Connected devices allow engineers to take environmental control and adjust growing conditions through sensors, microcontrollers, and LEDs. Through a range of innovations, traditional farming is evolving into a data-driven and sustainable industry.
The library of resources offers engineers the tools to make informed decisions from irrigation to fertilisation. With eBooks, articles, blogs, and products from Mouser’s technical team and manufacturing partners, readers will gain valuable knowledge on the cutting-edge technology that is transforming agriculture.
