MATLAB and Simulink for Agriculture

Drive development across digital agriculture, smart machinery, and sustainability

MATLAB and Simulink are used by engineers, researchers, and agritech companies to develop and test technologies across the agricultural value chain. These products support applications such as intelligent machinery, digital farming, and renewable energy systems, helping teams streamline development and explore sustainable solutions.

With MATLAB and Simulink, you can:

  • Design and simulate control systems for autonomous tractors, harvesters, and irrigation equipment
  • Apply AI and machine learning to analyze crop health, predict yields, and classify plant diseases
  • Model and optimize environmental systems such as soil moisture, nutrient flow, and water usage
  • Shorten time-to-market with automatic embedded code generation for farm machinery and IoT devices
  • Gain deeper insights from drones, sensors, and satellites by analyzing and visualizing large datasets
