tent and overall crop health. Thus, you can
monitor your crop growth and any anoma-
lies to effectively prevent any diseases or
infestations that can harm your yield.
ANIMAL MONITORING AND
MANAGEMENT
There are IoT agriculture sensors that can
be attached to the animals on a farm to
monitor their health and log performance.
Measuring temperature, activity and gra
zing patterns can give health and nutrition
insights on each individual animal as well
as collective information about the herd.
INFRASTRUCTURE
• Monitor water tank levels remotely.
• Monitor trough and creek levels as well
as flow rates.
• Observe not only the filling level, tem-
perature and humidity, but also rotting
and pest infestation in grain silos.
END-TO-END FARM MANAGEMENT
SYSTEMS
The so-called farm productivity manage
ment systems are a more complex
approach to IoT products where several
sensors are combined with powerful dash-
board analytical capabilities and in-built
accounting/reporting features. This offers
remote farm monitoring capabilities and
allows you to streamline most of the busi-
ness operations. Examples of such sys-
tems are Farmlogs and Cropio.
