AGRICULTURE
Real-time IoT-based smart farming is transforming the collection, interpretation, and practical usage of operational field data. The Internet of Things enables us to monitor your operation from a distance, collect data about the environment, and put it to use in ways that increase efficiencies, such as reducing water and electricity consumption. These are prime examples of where IoT and the use of advanced connectivity applications through LTE-driven WWANs are being put to good use by modernizing the approach, constantly capturing insights, using AI to make rules-based decisions, and building a better overall ecosystem of insights that help you better manage your business.
IoT in reducing environmental impact for sustainable practices
The Internet of Things (IoT) is assisting the agriculture industry in achieving its sustainable development goals through connected solutions that allow farmers to maximize yield and reduce the use of natural resources.
With the world's population continuing to grow, food production must increase proportionality while maintaining an economic and ecological balance. That is where the integration of sensors and IoT can help balance the environmental impact of farming.
Smart sensors in the soil ensure the right amount of water and fertilizer is provided when needed, while others monitor temperature and humidity for yield monitoring and crop management programs that lessen the resources required to maintain optimized production levels. IoT allows ranchers to understand herd movements, monitor gate access, water, and feed levels from anywhere, anytime, maximizing operational efficiency while minimizing carbon output, all while gathering operational insights.
Maximizing yields by increasing operational visibility
As the Agriculture Industry moves to meet the world's population growth, operational efficiency, yield monitoring, and smart farming will continue to evolve. Real-time operational visibility allows producers to maximize output by gathering data to make actionable adjustments that minimize the need for costly resources. Transitioning to IoT-based smart farming will also support meshing this operational data with transportation and distribution partners to work together to provide peak freshness to consumers with farm to fork traceability.
