SENSORS FOR WATER SAVING

Netsens IoT system and soil humidity sensors, provide complete and constant multipoint/multidepthcontrol on your land, allowing remote schedule and control via APP.

SENSORS FOR WATER SAVING

Increasing climate instability forces us to pay close attention to the water saving in the soil, and to avoid cropstress.
Netsens IoT infrastructure allows soil sensors to be deployed in the field (humidity, temperature, soil conductivity, water potential); each IoT unit can be connected up to 4 probes, and data can be transmitted up to 8 km range. This means hundreds or thousands of hectares tobe monitored by only using tens of units.
The system is easy to integrate with weather/microclimate sensors, allowing to fulfil agricultural management requirements: plant protection, water requirements, frost alerts and forecasts, as well as a complete record of all data collected.
All the data collected is available on our LiveData cloud portal via the website or app, so it’s within reach at any time.
