As digital transformation rapidly takes place in the traditional agricultural sector, the adoption of IT solutions in areas such as smart farming and horticulture is increasing. With the need to implement customized smart agriculture solutions for individual farms and agricultural corporations, the IT component distribution industry is enhancing development convenience by providing resource libraries for related solutions in addition to supplying products.

Mouser Electronics announced on the 14th that it provides an easy-to-navigate resource library focused on the latest advancements and technologies in agriculture for engineers and agricultural experts.

From robotic solutions to embedded systems, Mouser's comprehensive 'Smart Agriculture Hub' provides users with access to innovative products and solutions that can further advance the future of the agro-industry. Mouser also offers an extensive lineup of articles, blogs, products, and e-books exploring topics such as vertical farming, data convergence, and the construction of smart greenhouses within smart cities.

Mouser possesses a diverse range of development resources for smart farm applications, including antennas, IoT, sensors, and LEDs. The Linx Technologies IPW Series outdoor antennas provide IP67-rated dipole antenna solutions with a ground-independent design that mount permanently to metal and non-metal surfaces. The Linx Technologies IPW Series outdoor antennas are available for cellular, Wi-Fi®, and LPWA/ISM frequencies and are ideal for remote sensor networks.

In addition, the STEMinds Eduponics mini kit is designed to demonstrate the integration of IoT and smart agriculture. The included board features onboard environmental sensors and supports the C programming language in the Arduino IDE environment and MicroPython in the Thonny IDE.

The Amphenol Advanced Sensors T9501 is an IP67 humidity and temperature sensor that provides an enhanced, cost-effective sensing solution for almost all types of harsh environment applications. The T9501 sensor is based on a capacitive polymer sensor chip and is integrated into an easy-to-mount OEM package as an ASIC.

The Cree LED J Series 2835 Photophyll Select LED features an enhanced spectrum of blue and green outputs tuned for gardening applications. The J Series 2835 Photophyll Select LED is designed to replace the white LEDs commonly used in 2-channel white and red gardening lights. Mouser explained that the device can significantly improve the cost and performance of lighting fixtures by maximizing green light and minimizing red light compared to standard lighting LEDs.
