Automation Agrar & Off Highway

The use of construction vehicles and agricultural machinery is becoming increasingly automated. The economic potential and the variety of tasks that are taken over by machines and technology thanks to the latest technology are huge and diverse. Components from Haug Electronic Solutions are used in many areas of application.

Examples of automation in the agricultural sector:

Robotics
Robots are used in agriculture to perform tasks such as planting, harvesting, and weeding. You can work more efficiently and allow tasks to be performed more precisely.

  • Laser diodes, LiDAR
  • Cable assembly and connectors
  • For power electronics: Active components such as IGBTs, MosFET transistors also in SiC technology
  • Passive components such as capacitors capacitors and inductors in the form of current sensors and transformers
  • For EMC, current-compensated chokes (CMCs), linear interference suppression chokes and capacitors. Cores made of VITROPERM
  • Sensors such as current sensors, inductive sensors and proximity sensors

Drones
Drones are used to monitor fields. They can provide images and data on crop growth, soil condition and possible pest infestations. This information enables targeted irrigation, fertilization and treatment of plants to optimize yield.

  • Batteries
  • For the power supply of GaN components, EEPROMS, inductances with a discrete structure or DC/DC converter as a component. connector.
  • Communication (WLAN) with DC/DC converters and EEPROMs. Optional GaN components with discrete structure of the power supply

Sensor technology
Sensors are used to measure important parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity and light intensity. This data can be used to adjust irrigation needs and optimize growing conditions.

  • Sensors such as sensors such as current sensors and inductive sensors proximity sensors, photocells, etc.
  • For the power supply of GaN components, EEPROMS and inductances with a discrete structure or DC/DC converter as a component. connector

Precision Farming
By using GPS technology and precise positioning systems, farmers can manage their fields more efficiently. Machines can navigate with high accuracy and perform tillage, seeding and fertilization exactly where it is needed. This minimizes the use of resources and increases efficiency.

  • Batteries
  • For the power supply of GaN components, EEPROMS, inductances with a discrete structure or DC/DC converter as a component connector
  • Communication (WLAN) with DC/DC converters and/ and EEPROMs. Optional GaN components with discrete structure of the power supply

These automation technologies help improve efficiency, productivity and sustainability in agriculture. You can reduce labor, optimize resource use, and minimize environmental impact.

Examples for the automation of construction vehicles:

Autonomous Vehicles
Construction vehicles such as excavators, bulldozers, and trucks can be equipped with autonomous technology to perform specific tasks independently. Using sensors, GPS, and other navigation systems, they can transport materials, dig, cut land, and do other work without the need for a human driver to be present.

  • Laser diodes, LiDAR
  • For the power supply of GaN components, EEPROMS and inductances with a discrete structure or DC/DC converter as a component. connector.
  • Communication (WLAN) with DC/DC converters and EEPROMs. Optional GaN components with discrete structure of the power supply.
  • For camera systems EEPROMS and DC/DC converters.

Remote control
Construction vehicles can also be operated via remote control. An operator can control the vehicle from a safe distance using joysticks, keyboards or special control systems. This allows precise control and facilitates access to dangerous or hard-to-reach areas.

  • Switch, button, joystick
  • Batteries
  • Communication (WLAN) with DC/DC converters and EEPROMs. Optional GaN components with discrete structure of the power supply.

Automation of construction vehicles aims to increase productivity, reduce labor costs and improve safety on construction sites.
