Growing food – agriculture and greenhouse automation

The harvesting of a large portion of the food grown today in greenhouses or on fields is supported by automation products. Large volumes of fresh and perishable fruit, wheat and vegetables have to be harvested in short periods of time and availability of the machines is mandatory in many cases for 24hours per day.

The inductive sensors E2AU are the reliable choice for harvesting machines like balers with high resistance to changing temperatures, electromagnetic disturbances or water. Learn more about the E2AU

The E3Z photoelectric sensors are designed to reduce the influence of sunlight to a minimal angle directly from the front. In addition, for maximum immunity against artificial light, the E3Z uses Omron’s unique pulse synchronization method. In combination with the robust and watertight housing, the E3Z ensures non-stop conveying operations in automated greenhouses. Learn more about the E3Z
