Agriculture and the environment
Connecting the field and optimizing cultivation techniques
Agriculture is one of the sectors most likely to benefit from the digital revolution, as proven by the various initiatives and startups that have sprung up in recent years related to “smart agriculture.” In fact, it is increasingly evident how the use of data to support agricultural practices, in a sector traditionally far from digital, makes it possible to improve yields and/or reduce the amount of pesticides, fertilizers and water used, as well as to optimize activities by reducing the workload associated with low value-added activities.
Low energy consumption
Remote control
Optimization of phytosanitary treatments
Water saving
Increased product quality
Precision farming
Accurately monitor weather conditions by accessing real-time information on precipitation, temperature changes, wind strength, air pressure and humidity from your Sigfox-ready IoT 0G weather station and also collect data on soil temperature, moisture and conductivity. Combining this data with agronomic models provides valuable support in foreseeing major diseases, consequently enabling the optimization of crop prevention and treatment activities.
Manage livestock
Through the use of GPS trackers specifically designed for such applications, it is possible to collect real-time information on GPS location, speed, body temperature, and stress levels of livestock, increasing the level of livestock care and control.
Monitor filling levels of silos and tanks
Knowing exactly how much grain, feed, water and fuel is in the silos and tanks enables efficient planning aimed at reducing costs and automating the replenishment process.
Protect farms and outbuildings
Sigfox-ready 0G sensor smart alarms are not dependent on the presence of electricity or Wi-Fi, so they are simple to install and versatile enough to meet the unique challenges of farm sites in remote locations.
Monitor beehives
Reducing excess mortality rates by remotely monitoring the “health” of hives is possible through 0G Sigfox technology. In addition, through the integration of a device equipped with a hive tamper monitoring system and alerting in case of theft, the location of the hive can be remotely monitored and tracked in case of theft.
