what is the most used electronic device in agriculture ?

[harrysmith]

Hi everyone. I would like to know which device is the most used in agriculture ?

[xrunner]

Oh gosh I have no idea, but I'll guess.

A temperature sensor?

[harrysmith]

yes it is true that we use the temperature sensor. but I wanted to know one of the devices used and which will be developed in the future

Certainly in the last few years RFID ear tags now outnumber electric fence units where typically they are just one per farm.

Yep i agree. These are pretty widely used and a large farm might have a huge number of animals, each carrying one of these. Any other equipment will typicaly be servicing multiple animals.

But technology advancments pop up here and there in agroculture that help make the process that tiny bit more efficient or controlled.

GPS in the cab.

Manual tractor guidance with auto seeding, harvesting and ploughing. No farmer can live without their apps in the cab these days.

Plus automated soil temperature and water content sensing, with irrigation system control.

Light bulbs and other light sources?

Capacitors or resistors have to far outnumber every thing else

You'd call those devices and not components?

[harrysmith]

I want to know the device (component chain) not the component

A device is anything made for a purpose and as something made for a purpose a capacitor and a resistor are both devices.

[harrysmith]

but it's easier to say an electronic component for the resistor and capacitor not devices

The question was the most common electronic device in agriculture, and a component is also a device if it had been mechanical device the answer would surely have been bolt as that is al;sop a device as well as being a component of the whole tractor or machine.

The small nylon tywrap.

When I used to work for Hellermann they couldn't understand why so many tens of thousands of these tywraps were being sold in Wales.

Bit of investigation and it turned out that they were being used to castrate lambs. No longer use a knife, just a Tywrap and a tightener, much quicker, safer and less chance of infection.

Maybe the Welsh have never heard of Elastrator a fast and bloodless brand that have been used for at least 6 decades in NZ.

Elastrator are used here in norfolk UK, I prefer burdizzos for people who cross me though.
