As agriculture evolves toward data-driven efficiency and sustainability, GOcontroll’s Moduline Mini I offers a powerful, programmable controller tailored for the future of smart farming.

The agricultural sector is under increasing pressure due to global population growth, environmental concerns, and shifting climate conditions. These challenges demand innovative approaches to maintain productivity while reducing environmental impact. Precision agriculture, driven by real-time data and intelligent systems, is rapidly becoming the norm. Farmers now require robust and flexible technologies to support complex operations such as targeted irrigation, fertilization, and crop monitoring. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into agricultural practices enables smarter decision-making, improved resource management, and greater resilience in both open-field and controlled-environment farming.

GOcontroll addresses these challenges with the Moduline Mini I: a freely programmable, modular control unit specifically designed for demanding environments such as agriculture. Built around an industrial i.MX 8 processor running a reliable Linux-based OS, the Moduline Mini I allows developers to create customized control applications using popular programming languages like Python, C/C++, and Node-RED. Its modular design enables hardware configuration with a variety of I/O modules—supporting analog/digital sensors, PWM, relays, and more—making it suitable for diverse agricultural tasks. With interfaces like CAN, RS232, RS485, and Ethernet, it seamlessly connects to farm equipment and sensor networks. Wireless capabilities (via LTE or LoRa modules) ensure reliable communication, even in remote areas. The rugged housing and industrial temperature tolerance further support field deployment.

GOcontroll offers more than hardware—it provides a platform for custom automation and monitoring systems that adapt to the unique requirements of each agricultural project. Whether for precision irrigation, greenhouse climate control, or autonomous farming machinery, the Moduline Mini I empowers system integrators and agri-tech developers to build scalable, IoT-enabled applications. By enabling smart, data-driven farming, GOcontroll contributes to a more efficient and sustainable agricultural future.
