Remote monitoring
When connecting sensors across miles of land to monitor machinery, livestock or crops, choosing the best type of wireless communication and networking for your needs can be tricky. The most important place to start is to narrow down your requirements - operating range, data transmission speed, and power consumption are critical elements. These will help you determine what tech will best support you; LoRa®, LTE, Wifi and Bluetooth are just some of the options.
Environmental monitoring and data collection
Using sensors for monitoring and data collection can help ensure the right temperature and humidity in a greenhouse, provide alerts if machinery is not working right, or make sure air quality is where it needs to be. There are thousands of sensor options out there - knowing exactly what you want from them is a great place to start. There are some great combo sensors, as well as those specific to temperature, moisture, light, motion...you name it.
Geolocation
With millimeter accuracy, GPS/GNSS is having a tremendous impact on precision agriculture; likewise, the information available through RFID tags is changing the management of animals and products. From accurately surveying a field in preparation for planting, to tracking a herd in open range, to being able to pinpoint the location of machinery - this emerging technology can save tremendous time, effort and money.
Automation and machine learning
Collecting data is one thing; making sense of and using the data is another. Building systems that utilize machine learning to synthesize sensor data can save a lot of time and bring the most relevant findings to the surface. From an irrigation system that only waters plants that need it, to autonomous micro-tractors that can navigate themselves around a field, the possibilities for streamlining resources and reducing waste are limitless.

DataLogging with Sensors
Collecting and sending data has never been easier with our extensive line of environmetal sensors and dataloggers. Plug-and-play soil, moisture, humidity, and temperture sensing in just a few simple steps will provide information about crop health and expected yield.
RFID
RFID technology is revolutionizing smart agriculture by enabling precise monitoring and management of resources. By tagging livestock, equipment, or crops with RFID devices, farmers can track movement, health, and location in real time, improving efficiency and reducing waste.
Environmental Sensors
Environmental sensing plays a critical role in monitoring and protecting ecosystems by providing accurate, real-time data on air quality, water levels, soil conditions, and more. This technology enables early detection of environmental changes, helping to prevent disasters and support sustainable resource management.
