The Arduino Edge Control is a versatile solution suitable for precision farming, smart agriculture, and other applications requiring intelligent control in remote locations. It can be powered via solar panels or DC input and offers remote control through the Arduino Cloud using various connectivity options. The device features built-in Bluetooth and can be expanded with different modems and boards for enhanced connectivity.
Specifically designed for smart agriculture, the Arduino Edge Control allows for real-time data collection on weather conditions, soil quality, and crop growth. By sending this data to the Arduino Cloud, valuable analytics can be generated to support business processes and improve crop quality while reducing manual effort and errors.
Application Examples:
- Automated Greenhouses: Manage humidity and temperature for optimal crop growth.
- Hydroponics/Aquaponics: Control growth conditions without soil for maximum yield.
The Arduino Edge Control package includes 1 unit of the control system.
