IoT represents an ever-growing network of physical objects (“things”) connected to sensors capable of network connectivity. Sensor networks automate the collection and exchange of crucial operational data from the field. Using LINOVISION LoRaWAN IoT Sensor Solutions for Agriculture, growers can remotely monitor and manage corp, processing, and machinery systems from anywhere, anytime. This also means secure data recording and immediate alerts about issues before they become costly, time-consuming problems.

Business Insider.com reports that the agricultural industry is rapidly becoming more important than ever before. The report predicts a future population of more than 9 billion people by 2050, which dictates world growers will need to produce about 70 percent more food by that time.

This makes the Internet of Things an ag-industry growth factor,  as recognized by Deloitte, a leading audit, consulting, advisory and tax services firm in the U.S. who predicts a “millennial shift from family operations to smart food factories.” By employing automation technology and IoT solutions; operations can keep pace with “Agribusiness” trends and advantages.

Advantages Enabled by IoT Solutions.

1.Food Quality.

2.Operational Efficiencies.

3.Increase Machinery Life Cycle.

4.Food Safety/Regulatory Compliance.

5.Energy Savings.

Ag Sensing.

The opportunities for wireless IoT sensing in agriculture are innumerable, regardless, this section attempts to list a few of the most attractive applications for wireless sensing. A report published by the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development 2016 identifies a plethora of IoT sensor solutions that have track records of saving money in areas such as crop production, food storage, distribution, air monitoring and soil monitoring (Temperature, salinity, PH and water levels). IoT solutions allow growers to leverage sensor data and increase yields and efficiency.

Features and Benefits of Wireless Sensor Solution.

1.Easy set-up and use.

2.Reliable, proven technology.

3.Low-cost.

4.Low battery consumption.

5.Wide-Range wireless coverage.

6.Scalable,Expandable, Industrial standard.

7.Cloud-based monitoring platform.

8.24/7 Access from anywhere.

Commercial Greenhouse:

Commercial greenhouses make up a massive and growing worldwide industry. Like any business, reducing overhead costs, managing facilities and equipment, integrating technology, and streamlining operations, can all be challenges for managers.

But to stay competitive, commercial greenhouse managers need to be on the leading edge of production and facility operations. See how LINOVISION LoRaWAN Sensor Pack for Greenhouse helps commercial growers and facility operations 24/7.

Challenges.

A produce grower saw plant growth variations throughout its new greenhouses. Managers needed to know what was hindering growth in certain areas. They had to do something fast to root out the risk to affected plants. The company wanted a  solution that could quickly assess the situation and get right to work to help fix the problem.

Additionally, they wanted a better overall greenhouse management solution to help them minimize energy use while preventing crop issues using basic yet robust climate controls for temperature, humidity, air quality, water detection, and lighting.

The company wanted to thoroughly monitor the climate in all of its greenhouses and avoid issues like growers unknowingly overcompensating across an entire greenhouse for any area they perceive to be outside of acceptable parameters. After some research, they felt confident that easy-to-use wireless sensors were key to all of their current challenges.
