FAQ
What are IoT-based agriculture solutions?

Smart farming systems based on IoT technology are designed to monitor crops using light, temperature, humidity, and other sensors. They allow companies to automate the irrigation and fertilization processes.

What does IoT stand for?

IoT stands for Internet of Things. In the agriculture industry, this technology is used for creating systems that allow farmers to manage crops and livestock more efficiently using data gathered with the help of sensors installed on IoT devices, including vehicles and drones.

What types of sensors are used in agriculture?

Most agricultural companies use optical, electrochemical, mechanical, location, and airflow sensors to monitor data. In addition, they often utilize GPS, temperature, and accelerometer sensors, among many others. The more data collection points a company has, the more precise information it will get.

What are the main applications of IoT in agriculture?

IoT technology allows companies to monitor weather conditions, humidity, temperature, and soil quality. With the help of IoT devices with sensors, companies can make irrigation and other processes more efficient, thus reducing their cost. In addition, this technology is used for harvest forecasts.

How many IoT devices will be used in agriculture in the nearest future?

As the number of agricultural IoT devices is expected to reach 225 million in 2024, it becomes more crucial than ever for farmers to learn how to leverage IoT technology today to get a cutting edge over their competitors.
