Low-power IoT temperature and humidity monitoring system

With the growth of the global population and the changes in the consumption habits of fruits and vegetables, great pressure has been placed on agricultural cultivation. This change has also contributed to the higher efficiency of the agricultural industry from production to fruit and vegetable preservation, and to the more efficient use of agriculture. Such precious resources as fresh water. A large amount of fresh water is used in agriculture in the world, but with the gradual enhancement of the greenhouse effect, the next climate change will be a major factor affecting the increase in freshwater supply.

We will explore the application of the low-power IoT temperature and humidity monitoring system in the agricultural field, and use a few typical cases to demonstrate how the low-power IoT temperature and humidity monitoring system can improve the efficiency of agricultural production and reduce the wasteful rate of agricultural production.

1. Water conservation in greenhouse cultivation:

An effective way to save water is to use advanced imported irrigation systems to achieve smart irrigation - changing the distribution of water time and space. In the smart irrigation system, we need a soil moisture sensor system. However, wide-area communication technology is necessary because the farmland is geographically distributed and intelligent irrigation is achieved. A small humidity sensor, coupled with a wide-area narrowband RF communication module, which supports 20-year battery life and can communicate directly with a central node a few kilometers away, remotely control the flow of electromagnetic valves, can achieve irrigation management goals, intelligent Adjust water supply and demand.

2, reduce the deterioration of fruits and vegetables in transport:

In the fruit and vegetable transportation process, there are many direct or indirect reasons that cause a large number of fruits and vegetables to reach your market or table. The main reason is that fresh fruits and vegetables are not properly handled in the process of being shipped to all parts of the country. If the low-power temperature and humidity monitoring system is added to the cold chain transport chain to monitor the temperature and humidity in the transportation of fruits and vegetables, the damage rate of vegetables will be reduced. It can play an important role.

3, pest control in vegetable greenhouses:

In order to effectively obtain healthy fruits and vegetables, one important thing is to control the pest and disease environment, such as rodent and insect pests. A networked mousetrap may sound like a joke. However, in fact, it can provide effective management tools for monitoring and maintaining crops and greatly reduce costs. Imagine a scenario where the farmer outsources the mousetrap operation and pays monthly fees to the operator to maintain a rodent-free farm environment. The trapper operator needs specialized personnel to regularly inspect equipment to ensure that the mousetrap is normal. run.

4, milk production process:

Today, the demand for milk is quite large. The number of cattle in the world will exceed the one billion mark, and there will be an endless supply of beef and milk. However, proper timing of fertilization for cows is critical to the effective supply of beef and milk, and missed opportunities may lose at least one month of production (possibly losing more than 8% of annual production). When dairy cows enter the conception period, they are more active than usual and have greater amounts of exercise. These changes can be tracked by accelerometers. During the growth of dairy cows, the dairy farm can be equipped with a low-power IoT temperature and humidity monitoring system to monitor the environment in which cows grow. The return on investment for each cow that can be equipped with a low-power, wide-area, narrow-band sensor is significant because The return comes from the increase in output brought by livestock. Similar sensors can also monitor other important animal signals, especially early information on animal disease, to help herdsmen improve their livestock health.

Low-power IoT temperature and humidity monitoring systems play a full role in agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, and other industries. They are also increasingly helping agricultural growers increase production and reduce costs. Chengdu Xinxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to develop and perfect the latest technologies applicable to this area and make due contributions to improving China's agricultural production methods!
