Agriculture Market Solutions
With higher population densities, scarce and declining arable land, climate change, and environmental degradation there is a growing need for more productive farming driven by increased use of technology. Vertical farming, biosensors to monitor fertilisation levels (nitrates, phosphates and potassium), wearable devices for tracking the health of livestock, use of drones and robotics combined with AI and improved data analytics are all examples of recent advances where Dycotec’s products are being used.
For biosensors, we have developed a range of silver-silver chloride, carbon, solid state electrolytes and overcoat layers that can be printed to provide high durability, stable and long-life ion selective electrodes (ISE).
For vertical farming, Dycotec Materials has developed thermal interface materials for LED lighting systems as well as customised optical coatings. We have also provided a range of high performance polyimide inks for use in drone technologies.
The heath and location of livestock are being tracked with sensors constructed from our range of stretchable conductive products and materials that are used in flexible solar cells.
