Scenario details
Three core aspects of smart agriculture sensing: field microclimate, soil moisture & fertility, and greenhouse control.
Field Microclimate
Pain Points & Challenges
Broad regional forecasts fail to reflect localized farmland microclimates. Without real-time field data, irrigation, fertilization, and crop protection rely on subjective estimates, causing input waste and heightened exposure to sudden weather extremes.
Edge AI Solution
Deploy SenseCAP integrated weather stations to measure temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed/direction, and solar radiation over 10km LoRaWAN links for disaster warning and crop decisions.
Core Advantages
- All-in-One: Single mast integrates wind, rainfall, solar radiation, temp, humidity, and barometric pressure
- 10km Range: LoRaWAN provides 10km line-of-sight range paired with 4G cellular dual backhaul
- Ruggedized: IP66 industrial enclosure with lightning protection operates across -40 to 85°C
Continuous Field Microclimate Sensing
SenseCAP weather station continuously captures temperature, humidity, light, rain, and wind for field microclimate baseline.
Weather Anomaly Alerts
Gale wind and heavy rainfall threshold alerts notify operators immediately to prevent damage.
Farming Decision Support
Accumulate thermal time and sunlight history to guide sowing schedules, fertilization, and drone spraying.
Agricultural Environment Monitoring
Ready to deploySoil & Fertility Sensing
Pain Points & Challenges
Subsurface soil dynamics are invisible to the eye. Traditional guesswork in watering and feeding causes over- or under-application, accelerating soil compaction and salinization while limiting crop yield and quality.
Edge AI Solution
Deploy SenseCAP industrial soil sensors in the root zone to measure volumetric water content (0-100% ±3%), temperature, and electrical conductivity (0-20000 µS/cm) for precision irrigation.
Core Advantages
- Precision Sensing: Accurately measures soil VWC 0-100% ±3% and EC 0-20000 µS/cm
- Corrosion Resistant: Stainless steel probes resist soil acidity and salinity without drift for years
- Automated Irrigation: Soil data triggers solenoid valves and fertigation units to prevent waste
Profile Moisture & EC Sensing
SenseCAP soil sensors monitor volumetric water content (0-100% ±3%), temperature, and EC (0-20000 µS/cm).
Precision Fertigation Interlock
Soil moisture thresholds trigger solenoid valves and fertigation units locally for variable rate irrigation.
Greenhouse Microclimate Synergy
Soil moisture and air temp/humidity collaborate to actuate fans, cooling pads, and shade curtains.
Agricultural Environment Monitoring
Ready to deployGreenhouse Microclimate
Pain Points & Challenges
Greenhouse microclimates fluctuate rapidly; manual inspections and scheduled venting lag behind climate shifts, while persistent high humidity or CO₂ deficiency triggers powdery mildew and gray mold, causing catastrophic yield loss.
Edge AI Solution
Deploy greenhouse sensors for temp, humidity, light, and CO2, driving edge controllers to actuate fans, cooling pads, and shade curtains on site.
Core Advantages
- Multi-Parameter: Real-time monitoring of temp, humidity, light, and CO2 for greenhouse control
- Offline Control: Edge controllers execute logic locally, operating fans and shades without internet
- Instant Alerts: Sends alerts instantly when climate metrics breach limits to prevent mold and rot
Greenhouse Climate & CO₂ Telemetry
Industrial sensors accurately track temperature, humidity, illuminance, and CO₂ concentrations to optimize crop photosynthesis.
Closed-Loop Fan & Shade Control
Automatically trigger exhaust fans and cooling pads during heat spikes and deploy shading screens under excessive irradiance.
Multi-Greenhouse Central Dashboard
Centrally visualize climate curves and equipment operating statuses across multiple greenhouses to guide precision agronomy.

Success Cases
FAQ
No field power or network cabling required: SenseCAP sensors feature built-in Li-SOCl2 batteries lasting 3-5 years, while weather stations are backed by solar power supporting 15 consecutive rainy days. LoRaWAN transmits up to 10km line-of-sight to cellular 4G outdoor gateways.
They can. Devices are IP66-rated with a -40°C to 85°C operating range, engineered for high-UV, heavy-rain, dusty outdoor conditions — industrial-grade, not consumer products. Includes a 1-year hardware warranty and 1 year of technical support.
Yes. Sensors are wiring-free — stake them in, then finish setup in a few steps via the phone app over Bluetooth. Daily temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and alerts show right on the phone or data platform — no IT background needed. Many cooperatives and farms run it themselves, including one that helped northern greenhouses grow tropical fruit.
Both work. Data lands in the SenseCAP data platform by default, with dashboards and alerts out of the box; API / MQTT interfaces also let you feed weather and soil data into your own farm-management platform or regional digital-agriculture systems — data ownership and usage stay with you.
Probes should be installed vertically at crop root depth (e.g. 20cm or 40cm), with cables routed through PVC protective conduit to surface nodes along field ridges, well clear of tractor tilling and subsoiling paths.
Yes. Irrigation thresholds and scheduled cycles are stored in the local rule engine of the edge gateway. Even during network outages, the gateway continues autonomous closed-loop valve and curtain actuation based on local telemetry.
Yes. The Seeed devices used in this solution can be customized with your own logo, enclosure, packaging and pre-loaded firmware, and existing models can be adapted to add or drop interfaces and features. See Customization Service for scope and process, or .
