High tech instrumentation for the Agriculture industry
Agriculture is a vital sector of the UK economy, using 69% of the country’s land, employing 1% of its workforce, and contributing 6.2% of the national Gross Value Added (GVA) in 2021. The UK produces around 54% of its own food, and the sector also provides export opportunities that support rural communities.*
It is vital that the industry is supported by new developments, and has access to the latest technology to drive it forward. Quantum Design UK and Ireland offers a number of solutions to the challenges faced by the agricultural sector. A broad range of applications, using the very latest imaging cameras from our principals – Specim Hyperspectral, Raptor Photonics and InfraTec thermographic cameras.
