Controlling plant growth with horticulture LEDs
The new Lighting Development Kit from Würth Elektronik with horticulture LEDs accelerates the development of systems for targeted plant lighting. Companies developing solutions for vertical farming in cities or optimised ‘supplemental lighting’ in greenhouses can use the Development Kit to explore the effect of different ‘lighting recipes’ on plants and in their different growth phases.
Rugged display module integrates touchscreen
Industrial LCD manufacturer KOE (Kaohsiung Opto-Electronics) has released a new 10.2-inch Full HD TFT display module.
RSL10 mesh platform enables BLE applications
ON Semiconductor has introduced a new Bluetooth Low Energy mesh networking solution based on its ultra-low-power RSL10 System-in-Package (RSL10 SIP). Using the RSL10 Mesh Platform, engineers can easily implement ultra-low-power mesh networking, using Bluetooth Low Energy technology, and move quickly towards full deployment.
Improving coverage and confidentiality of video surveillance solutions
If a picture is worth a thousand words, high definition video must be worth much, much more. It’s what’s made the technology so popular in such a broad range of applications, including online face‑to‑face communication, entertainment, domestic surveillance, access control, and more.
Elara line of simple to integrate satellite navigation
Würth Elektronik has launched a product family of GNSS modules. The Elara line represents some of the smallest GNSS modules on the market - both with and without integrated antenna. For sophisticated navigation tasks, the Erinome series uses all four global navigation satellite systems at top speed: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou.
Software accelerator to enable real world AI deployments
DeepCube hasannounced the launch of the only software-based inference accelerator that drastically improves deep learning performance on any existing hardware.Today, deep learning deployments are very limited and are primarily optimised for the cloud; and, even in these cases, they incur extensive processing costs, significant memory requirements, and expensive power costs, due to intensive computing demands.
New way of exploring farming data could half R&D time
Ag-tech company, Agrimetrics, has launched a new, interactive tool for looking at food and farming data. They claim it will improve sustainability & productivity by accelerating artificial intelligence (AI)and advanced analytics.
Electric vehicles and robotics in agriculture: a $50bn market
Agricultural vehicles, from greenhouse robots to outdoor precision farming, tractors, forestry vehicles and turf care, are rapidly going electric. Increasingly they get their electricity off-grid, zero-emission, on-site using technology similar to that in an EV.
Manufacturers navigate COVID-19 with emerging technology
SME manufacturers supported by Made Smarter are using emerging technologies to navigate the impact on business from the COVID-19 pandemic.Businesses signed up to the North West pilot to support the Industry 4.0 revolution have adapted in a variety of ways, including switching production to make medical scrubs, ventilator parts and PPE to help the front-line fight against the disease.
