Accurate Control
Accurate control in precision ag and instrumentation refers to the ability to precisely measure, monitor and control various environmental factors that affect crop growth and development. This involves using sensors, data analytics and control systems to gather and analyze data on factors such as soil moisture, temperature, nutrient levels and weather conditions.
GPS
GPS, or Global Positioning System, is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information anywhere on the planet. In agriculture, GPS is widely used for precision agriculture, a farming practice that uses technology to optimize crop production while minimizing environmental impact. GPS technology has revolutionized modern agriculture, allowing farmers to achieve greater productivity, profitability and sustainability.
Drones
An unmanned aircraft or ship that can navigate autonomously, without human control or beyond the line of sight.
Robotics
A robot is any automatically operated machine that replaces human effort, though it may not resemble human beings in appearance or perform functions in a humanlike manner.
Sensors
Sensors are a critical component of precision agriculture, providing data on crop health, moisture levels, soil characteristics and other key factors that inform decision-making. These sensors can be mounted on drones, tractors, or other vehicles and may use various technologies such as spectral imaging, infrared sensing or soil moisture probes.
