Agriculture - Markets at Lucid Electronics

Agriculture

Modern technology is transforming agriculture. As pressure grows to meet the demands of a growing global population, Precision Agriculture, GPS, GIS, and Automation & Robotics, have all helped enhance productivity, efficiency, and sustainability, enabling farmers to make data-driven decisions. automate processes and reduce cost of labour.

Rugged solutions for tough conditions

Agriculture is one of the most diverse and demanding markets that we serve, with products required to withstand the rigours of weather and extreme temperatures, exposure to water, dust and dirt, as well as oil, fuel, and other chemicals.

Our connectors, sensors, switches, and indicators, provide up to IP68/IP69K protection, making them suitable for both open and closed cabs, while our broad range of lighting products meet stringent quality and performance standards defined by ECE regulations, ensuring their reliability and durability,

Browse our range of standard products or contact us to talk through the specific needs of your application. We offer both simple and more complex cable assemblies and harnesses, as well as entirely custom solutions based on application requirements.

1

Agricultural Vehicles

Tractors, combine harvesters and crop sprayers are gradually being replaced by autonomous machinery, self-driving tractors, robotic harvesters, and drones, all of which are packed with technology.
2

Livestock Management

Automatic milking and feeding systems, in addition to sensors and wearables to monitor heath and movement, support the demands of modern farming by reducing human labour costs.
3

Farm Security

Sensors and remote monitoring systems, motion-activated lights, perimeter control, alarm systems and drones, all help keep equipment, crops, and livestock safe.
4

GPS Systems

Modern technology allows farmers to precisely map out their land and gather data to optimise the planting process, analyse soil, plan irrigation, and distribute fertiliser and pesticides.
5

Greenhouse Automation

Systems that control temperature, humidity, light, irrigation, and other critical factors required to provide an optimal environment for plant growth while reducing human labour costs.
6

Smart Irrigation

Modern, automated techniques use sensor technologies to monitor weather and soil levels, helping to calculate just the right amount of water based on actual precipitation received.
7

Agricultural Drones

New generation farmers are looking to drones in a bid to automate crop seeding, spraying, and monitoring. The use of this technology saves time while improving productivity, efficiency, and yields.
8

Autonomous Vehicles

Human-driven tractors, synonymous with plowing farmland, are under threat from sensor-packed, autonomous alternatives that are smaller, lighter, and kinder on the land

What is your application?

Our range of switches, sensors, connectors and work lights are designed for harsh environments and provide protection against water and dust ingress, chemicals, UV, and temperature extremes.

1890 – 1920

The First Tractor

The first tractor was launched in 1892, replacing slower, steam-powered engines, followed by the first mass-produced tractor, the Fordson Model F, from Henry Ford in 1917.

1970 – 1990

Technology Upgrade

The late 20th century saw a huge step in farming technology, the introduction of hydraulic & electronic systems, and GPS technology, improving control, precision, and efficiency.

2010 – 2015

Semi-automation

Semi-autonomous tractors and harvesters were introduced, as were some fully-autonomous concepts, with John Deere leading the way. Diesel hybrid tractors also entered the market to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

2010 – Present

Full-automation

Fully electric tractors, and ‘driver-optional’ autonomous options emerge. Although autonomy in farming is an emerging field, the industry’s interest in reducing emissions and improving efficiency continues at a pace.

Using technology to increase yield and reduce cost

The evolution of the combine harvester has been central to farming becoming less labour-intensive and more productive.

Switches are used to activate and deactivate various functions, including lights & indicators, AC and heating, joystick control, and safety-related functions, while sensors are used to provide real-time data to to the onboard computer.

Sensors detect and measure a wide variety of environmental values, from temperature to pressure, speed, position, load, and flow or level, and alert the operator to any issues.

Connectors serve as interfaces between ECUs, sensors, and switches, to external implements. These include ISOBUS, CAN Bus, IP rated Power and Data, through to USB ports for driver comfort and connectivity, and are critical to integrating various systems.

LED lighting provides excellent energy efficiency, durability, and longer life span compared to halogen. A variety of work lights, indicator & hazard lights, and strobe lights & beacons, to name just a few, are used to improve safety and productivity during all hours and weather conditions.
