Application Examples:

• Automated Greenhouses

Automatically manage the humidity and temperature to ensure the best environment for crop growth, minimizing carbon emissions and increasing economic yield. The inclusion of an Arduino MKR GPS Shield allows for optimum crop rotation planning and acquisition of geospatial data.

• Hydroponics/Aquaponics

Since hydroponics involves the growth of plants without soil, delicate care must be taken to maintain the conditions required for optimum growth. The Arduino Edge Control can be set up to control these conditions with minimal manual labor. The Arduino Edge Control can help match the even higher requirements of Aquaponics, by providing automated control over the internal process and reducing production risks.

Features:

1. Precision farming & process automation.
2. Improved yield & lower production risks.
3. Real-time & historical data.
4. Monitors environmental conditions.
5. Powerable by solar panels.
6. Easy installation.
7. Connect easily with sensors/devices.
8. Operates in high & low temperatures.
9. Choice of connectivity types.
10. Supports TensorFlow Lite micro for tiny machine learning applications.
