Precision Farming
Description
With the average farm size today, farmers can benefit from data that helps better manage their land, animals and crops more efficiently. With precision farming, farmers can manage the inherent variability of a spread-out farm by gathering information on the status of the environment, their crops and animals on a hyper local basis to ensure its operating at full capacity.
By implementing a precision farming solution comprised of sensors and gateways embedded with LoRa Technology, and a low power wide area network based on the LoRaWAN™ protocol, farmers can help improve crop yields, animal health and farm operations.
Benefits
- Better understand and plan for inherent variability of farm conditions
- Increase farm yields while reducing resource use
- Minimize in-field workload so farmer can tend to business operations
- Easy to set-up since LoRa sensors do not need to be connected to a power source – an entire farm can be equipped in less than a day
- Low maintenance costs thanks to LoRa sensors low power operation, ensuring batteries can last 10 years
