Agriculture
The Challenge
Our client needed to overcome critical operational hurdles to remain competitive and compliant in the modern agricultural landscape:
Harsh Environments: Equipment failure due to constant exposure to dust, high humidity, ammonia, and frequent high-pressure disinfection.
Inefficient Manual Monitoring: Labor-intensive, periodic checks resulted in slow response times to critical events like CO₂ spikes or heat stress.
High Operational Costs: Wasted energy, water, and feed due to a lack of real-time data for optimizing resource allocation.
Need for Scalability & Low TCO: Existing wired solutions were expensive and inflexible, hindering farm expansion and impacting ROI.
Our Solution
Rugged Wireless Sensor Nodes
Deployed ESP32-based nodes in IP66 enclosures to monitor Temperature, Humidity, CO₂, and NH₃. Smart deep-sleep mode provides 6-18 months of battery life.
Smart Edge Gateway
An on-premise gateway with 4G/Ethernet aggregates data and features offline buffering to ensure zero data loss, even with unstable internet connectivity.
Centralized Cloud Dashboard
A powerful ThingsBoard dashboard for real-time analytics, historical data review, and setting up automation rules (e.g., "if CO₂ > threshold, activate fans").
Intuitive Mobile App
A user-friendly app for managers to get instant alerts, view the status of multiple farms, and remotely control equipment like feeders, lights, and ventilation systems.
Technology Stack
- Hardware: ESP32, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C6
