01 Agriculture Applications

Where Smart Farming Technology Is Deployed

Farm computing sits in four places: on the machine, in the field, in the shed or packhouse and on the animal-side or aquaculture site. Each brings its own power, sealing and connectivity demands, so the right platform differs from one to the next.

Edge AI on the Sprayer Boom and the Autonomous Tractor

GPU computing for crop analysis rides on the machine: an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin computer reads GigE cameras along a spot-spraying boom and decides, plant by plant, where herbicide goes. On autonomous tractors a waterproof edge AI computer fuses camera, GNSS and CAN bus data to steer and to stop safely, on a 9 to 36 V vehicle supply with ignition control and shock and vibration tolerance built in.

Built Around the Interfaces Farm Machinery Uses

Agricultural computing is specified by what it connects to and where it lives: machine cameras, vehicle power, field sensors and the washdown line. We select products whose datasheets state the camera interface, sealing and power range each installation needs, and the cards below list the ones that decide the build.

GigE Vision and PoE Cameras

Machine-vision cameras powered and read over one Ethernet cable from a PoE+ port on the edge computer; the PoE budget sets the camera count.

E-Mark and ISO 7637-2

Electrical immunity for equipment on a vehicle supply, with ignition control so the computer shuts down cleanly when the machine is switched off.

IP66 to IP69K Washdown

Ingress protection for panel PCs and monitors on lines that are pressure-washed, with 304 and 316 stainless steel for food-grade areas.

4G and 5G Connectivity

Cellular modems and multi-SIM bonding that keep remote sites reporting when there is no wired network on the farm.

CAN Bus and ISOBUS

Isolated CAN ports for reading machine data and controlling implements, on rugged in-vehicle computers designed for tractors and sprayers.

Farm-Ready Hardware

Four product types cover most agriculture projects. Open one to see the ranges we specify for farming, or go to the full category.

02 Agriculture Projects and Guides

Agriculture Case Studies and Guides

See how we help companies launch new products, transform operations and adapt the agriculture industry, and read our guides to the camera and power interfaces behind them.

An Extension of Your Engineering Team

Our engineers work as part of your team, not as a reseller. We check the camera interfaces, vehicle power and sealing against the machine or site before you commit to a build.

Built, Imaged and Ready to Deploy

Modules, memory, storage and cards are fitted, ignition delays set and the OS image loaded before shipping, so each unit is tested as a complete build and ready to fit on the day it arrives.

Supported for the Life of the Program

Repeatable builds, revision control and last-time-buy planning keep later units matching the first across a machine program or a growing estate of farm sites.
