Agriculture

Field-ready electronics for agricultural machinery and smart farming systems

Agricultural equipment and smart farming systems operate outdoors in conditions that include dust, moisture, vibration, wide temperature range and other extremes. Machines used across regions are maintained in the field and expected to last for many years.

Electronics need to withstand constant exposure to weather and rough conditions while still meeting certification requirements and staying available over many years. Choices made early in the design phase influence how durable the system is, how easily it meets compliance and the maintenance costs over time.

Environmental & regulatory requirements in the Agriculture market

Electronics used in agricultural applications must comply with strict environmental and regulatory constraints. These factors are built into the design from the start, as they determine whether machines can be approved, deployed and kept in service over time.

Typical requirements include:

  • Wide operating temperature range from –40 °C to +85 °C
  • Shock and vibration resistance according to IEC 60068
  • Ingress protection up to IP65 / IP67
  • Sunlight readability using high-brightness displays, UV-resistant materials and optical bonding
  • Operator interaction with glove-friendly, water-resistant touch technology
  • Wireless compliance (CE RED, FCC, IC, TeLEC) for globally deployed machinery
  • Battery safety certifications such as UN 38.3 and IEC 62133-2
  • Environmental compliance including RoHS, REACH and WEEE

In outdoor agricultural HMIs, optical bonding combined with UV-resistant coatings helps prevent display whitening and delamination after prolonged sun exposure.

The reality of agricultural lifecycles

Agricultural equipment is expected to work reliably for many years, often in environments that are hard to reproduce in a lab. Sun exposure, vibration, dust, moisture and seasonal peak usage put continuous stress on electronics. At the same time, machinery lifecycles are long, and redesigns after certification are costly and disruptive.

What typically goes wrong late in projects

In practice, many agriculture projects encounter problems late in the development cycle: components that degrade faster than expected in the field, certifications that limit global reuse or products that reach end-of-life before the machine itself does.

How Texim Europe reduces these risks early

Texim Europe addresses these risks early in the design phase. Together with manufacturers of agricultural machinery and systems, we focus on selecting and validating technologies that are not only compliant on paper, but proven in real operating conditions. The modules, devices and components are evaluated with field use, operator interaction and long-term availability in mind.

What this means over the full lifecycle

A key part of this approach is lifecycle continuity. Agricultural machines are often produced and supported for a decade or more. Component choices are therefore aligned with supplier roadmaps, certification scope and replacement strategies from the start. This reduces the risk of forced redesigns when components evolve or regulations change.

We help you build systems that remain certifiable, serviceable and available throughout the full life cycle of your agricultural equipment.

In practice, this makes Texim Europe a long-term technology partner for agricultural projects, not just a component supplier.

Proven use cases in agricultural equipment

Texim Europe supports agricultural applications built for long-term use in demanding field conditions, where systems must continue to perform reliably throughout their service life:

  • Operator HMIs in tractors and harvesters with sunlight-readable displays and glove-operable touch
  • Smart irrigation systems using soil and pH sensors combined with LPWAN connectivity
  • Livestock monitoring with low-power IoT sensor nodes for long-term deployment
  • Agricultural drones using GNSS, IMUs & cameras for inspection and spraying

Agriculture FAQs

What types of sensors are used in precision agriculture?

Typical sensors include temperature, humidity, IMUs, soil sensors, and vision sensors for crop, livestock, and machinery inspection or monitoring.

How do displays remain readable in direct sunlight?

Outdoor operator displays use optical bonding, high brightness panels, and UV-resistant coatings to maintain visibility and readability.

Which wireless standards are used in smart farming?

Most agricultural systems use technologies like LoRa, LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS, and 5G-ready modules for connectivity across fields and remote assets.

What certifications are required for electronics in agricultural machinery?

Common certifications include IEC 60068 for vibration, IP65/IP67 for dust and water ingress protection, CE RED, FCC, IC, TeLEC for wireless modules, and UN 38.3 / IEC 62133-2 for batteries.
