Machines are performing more and more complex tasks with increasing autonomy and precision. The integration of sensors, AI, and machine learning technology mean robotics can now interact, navigate, and make decisions that would previously have required significant human resource. Now widely used throughout surveillance, delivery, and agriculture, as innovation continues at a pace we can robotics and drones to become increasingly common in daily life.
High-tech, lightweight and robust solutions for the future
Robotics and drones operate in highly dynamic and often challenging environments, requiring components that offer precision, durability, and reliability. Our range of switches, connectors, and sensors is engineered to meet the demands of both indoor and outdoor applications, from autonomous robots on production lines to drones navigating harsh terrains.
Compact and lightweight designs support space-constrained and weight-sensitive platforms, while our custom assemblies and harnesses provide tailored solutions for even the most complex integration challenges. Whether you’re developing UAVs, service robots, or industrial automation systems, we have standard and customisable products to match your exact specifications. Contact us today to discuss your project’s requirements or explore our range online.
Early 2000s
Aerial eyes
The first drones used in farming captured aerial images to monitor crop health, helping farmers detect issues like drought stress or pest damage.
2010 – 2015
Precision spraying
Drone technology advanced to include GPS-guided spraying systems, allowing farmers to target specific areas with pesticides or fertilizers. Countries like Japan led the way in early adoption.
2015 – 2020
Data-driven decisions
Multispectral sensors, thermal imaging, and AI-based analytics became common, turning drones into real-time data tools for yield prediction, soil analysis, and field mapping.
2020 – Present
Autonomous swarms
Fully autonomous drone fleets survey, seed, and spray crops. With growing focus on sustainability and efficiency, drones have become a key part of smart farming systems worldwide.

Performance & reliability in modern drone technology
The evolution of drones has revolutionised sectors from agriculture and surveying to logistics and inspection—enabling efficient, data-driven operations with minimal human input.
Switches are used for system activation, mode selection, calibration, and emergency shutoff, offering operators simple and effective manual control when needed during setup or maintenance.
Sensors are at the core of drone functionality, delivering real-time data on altitude, GPS position, speed, orientation, temperature, air pressure, obstacle proximity, and payload status. These inputs feed into the flight control system for precise navigation, autonomous operation, and safety monitoring.
Compact, lightweight connectors are essential for linking sensors, actuators, and flight controllers. High-performance data and power connectors, including IP-rated and vibration-resistant variants, ensure reliable communication and power distribution in demanding airborne environments.
LED lighting supports visibility and compliance with aviation regulations. Navigation lights, anti-collision strobes, and payload illumination enhance safety during flight, particularly in low light or complex environments.
