Solution Overview
The Smart Agriculture IoT Solution empowers farmers and agronomists to make data-driven decisions for improved crop yield and efficient water management.
This end-to-end system integrates solar-powered outdoor gateways with multi-parameter soil sensors that measure key soil indicators — including moisture, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC).
Using LoRaWAN connectivity, all sensor data is securely transmitted to our IoT platform and mobile application for real-time visualization, analysis, and alerting.
System Architecture
The Smart Agriculture solution combines reliable hardware, robust connectivity, and intelligent software into one integrated ecosystem:
- Sensors: Five soil probes measuring moisture, temperature and EC.
- Connectivity: Wireless data transmission via LoRaWAN.
- Gateway: Outdoor solar-powered gateway enabling continuous operation in remote agricultural areas.
- Software: Web-based IoT platform and mobile app for monitoring, analytics, and alarm notifications.
Key Features
- Multi-Parameter Soil Monitoring: Continuous tracking of five essential soil parameters.
- Solar-Powered Operation: Energy-autonomous gateway for remote or off-grid fields.
- Real-Time Alerts: SMS and push notifications on abnormal readings or irrigation needs.
- Data Analytics & Reports: View trends, optimize irrigation, and improve soil management.
- Scalable Network: Easily expand coverage to multiple fields or greenhouses.
Benefits
- ✅ Optimize irrigation efficiency and reduce water waste.
- ✅ Enhance crop health with data-driven soil management.
- ✅ Enable precision farming through continuous soil insights.
- ✅ Lower operational costs with solar-powered infrastructure.
- ✅ Support sustainable agriculture and increased yield.
Typical Applications
- Open-field crop cultivation
- Greenhouses and nurseries
- Vineyards and orchards
- Smart irrigation systems
- Research and agricultural testing sites
How it Works
- Wireless sensors continuously measure soil temperature, humidity and EC.
- Data is transmitted via LoRaWAN to the gateway and from there through internet to the cloud.
- The IoT platform stores and analyzes the data, displaying it in easy-to-read dashboards.
- When thresholds are exceeded, the system instantly sends alerts via SMS or push notification.
- Users can access live and historical data anytime from the web platform or mobile app.
What is required to be provided by the customer/Considerations
- The customer needs to install the gateway at a location where the gateway will be in line-of-sight with all the soil sensors. The gateway includes a battery and a PV panel so it is fully autonomous (no power supply is required)
- The customer needs to install the soil sensors
- The provided LoRaWAN Gateway provides wireless LoRaWAN coverage at a radius of more than 2km considering that the connected devices are within line-of-sight without any obstacles between then (mountains, buildings etc.). If all the sensors are deployed within this area 1 LoRaWAN gateway will be most probably adequate. If larger wireless LoRaWAN coverage is required more LoRaWAN gateways must be installed.
What is included in the package
- 4 x Dragino SE01-LB LoRaWAN Soil Temperature, Moisture & EC sensor
