Why it matters
Farmers and agri-ops teams must balance yield, water, energy, and risk across variable climates. Manual checks miss early signs of heat stress, water deficit, storage spoilage, and equipment faults. You need continuous telemetry, instant alarms, and simple control to act fast.
Platform fit
- Device-agnostic ingestion: MQTT/HTTP/CoAP/LwM2M; Modbus for legacy controllers; LoRaWAN/NB-IoT for remote fields
- Low-code automations: irrigation triggers, aeration control, fertigation schedules, frost and heat alerts, pump/valve interlocks
- Dashboards & reports: farm map, zone KPIs, silo grain condition, greenhouse climate, alarm journal, compliance exports
- Security & scale: multi-tenant, RBAC, audit logs, GCC data residency; APIs/webhooks to FMIS/ERP/CMMS
Solution structure
- Field/greenhouse/silo sensors & controllers → gateways (protocol + buffering) → secure ingestion → rule chains (events/alarms/control) → dashboards & reports → notifications & CMMS/ERP tickets → exports/APIs
Farm Overview (Ops)
- Map of fields, greenhouses, silos with live status (soil moisture, VPD, temp/RH, silo temp/CO₂, aeration state)
- Portfolio KPIs: irrigation today, water use/ha, alerts by severity, spoilage risk score
Greenhouse Climate
- Temp/RH/CO₂/VPD, PAR/illumination, vent/heater/fan states; setpoint editor and schedule blocks
- Alarms: frost risk, heat stress (ΔVPD), CO₂ depletion/overdose, actuator fault
Field Irrigation
- Soil moisture by depth, valve/pump status, flow & pressure; irrigation runtime advisor (rule-based)
- Alarms: dry soil, no-flow/leak, over-irrigation, pump cavitation
Silo/Storage (Grain & Seeds)
- Temp strata, absolute/ΔCO₂, relative humidity, grain level; aeration on/off with safety interlocks
- Alarms: hotspot formation (temp gradient), condensation risk, gas buildup, fan failure, ingress/leak
Night Mode
- Dark theme for low-light operations; preserves charts, alerts, controls

Applications
Open-field irrigation: moisture-driven scheduling; pump/valve automation
Greenhouses: climate & fertigation control; CO₂ and VPD management
Grain & oilseed storage: hotspot/CO₂ monitoring; safe aeration automation
Orchards/viticulture: frost/heat alerts, block-level irrigation, disease-risk signals
Livestock environments: barn climate & water monitoring; leak/no-flow alarms
Agri-logistics & cold chain: produce storage rooms (T/RH), door events
Summary
End-to-end smart farming: sensors and controllers feed a secure GCC cloud, low-code rules automate irrigation, climate, and aeration, and dashboards provide fast insight and reports across fields, greenhouses, and silos.
