Lighting Innovation at Tomatoworld
Tomatoworld’s decision to switch from HPS lights to LED lights was mainly driven by the aim to reduce energy consumption. The new lighting was designed to improve crop visibility for visitors while also supporting research activities involving cameras, sensors, and robots.
How Cameras Power AI-Driven Autonomous Weeding Robots in Precision Agriculture
Autonomous weeding robots are modernizing agriculture by using AI vision capabilities to identify and remove weeds with speed and consistency. They rely on high-quality imaging to distinguish weeds from crops, even at early stages of growth.
Overcoming Damage With Data | Why Agricultural Monitoring Matters Even More Now
In modern farming reality, fast and accurate agricultural monitoring is indispensable. Operating without comprehensive real-time monitoring is essentially trying to farm blindfolded, making it akin to guessing rather than deciding.

igus
In agricultural applications, solutions that can stand up to rough conditions such as dirt, dust, heat, shock and edge loads are essential. Igus makes this possible with its cable carriers and plastic bearings that are characterized by their outstanding resilience and long service life. These products can be used in tractors, disc harrows, fertilizers, field sprayers, and other agricultural equipment. In many applications, metallic bushings or recirculating ball bearing guides can be replaced by self-lubricating polymer plain bearings to not only improve technology, but significantly reduce costs as well.
