Once sent to the Arduino Cloud, the data value chain becomes valuable analytics that supports business processes at various levels (e.g. crop yield, equipment efficiency, staff performance, etc.). The Arduino Edge Control has the capability to improve crop quality and reduce human effort/error by automating processes like irrigation, fertilization, or pest control. + The Edge Control can be powered by a 12 VDC power supply or by a lead-acid battery. Also, it supports a solar panel connection to recharge the battery and ensure the device functions even in remote off-the-grid deployments.
