Food Industry & Agriculture

Agriculture is becoming increasingly dependent on mobile camera systems. These supply a wealth of knowledge and detailed information about farm activity. Drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are now being used in “Smart Farming”. Materion Balzers Optics offers filters and optical components for VIS up to the IR range for use in this area. These include narrow bandpass filters, bandpass filters with steep edges, wide blocking range filters, and linear variable filters with customized gradient index.
