Installed in thousands of units in Italy and abroad, MeteoSense 4.0 is designed for precision agriculture, from sustainable crop protection and pathogen management to water saving and soil-moisture monitoring. It is easy to install, ready to use, and can be configured with the sensors and accessories best suited to specific needs. Integrated with the DSS systems available on LiveData, it meets the most advanced agronomic requirements and aligns with the criteria of major regional and national funding programmes, with compliance certification available upon request. Maintenance requirements are minimal and can be handled either by the farm directly or by Netsens partners in the field.

Data from the MeteoSense 4.0 weather station is transmitted automatically to our LiveData cloud portal, accessible via mobile app and PC. The platform presents information clearly, manages the main agronomic models, and stores a complete history of in-field measurements.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The MeteoSense 4.0 unit is the heart of Netsens systems. It is the acquisition and communication unit between the sensors in the field and the LiveData cloud platform, and is therefore present in both MeteoSense stations and AgriSense and VineSense IoT systems.

Wireless IoT components

MODULO-WIFI

Around a main station equipped with the key weather and climate sensors, multiple wireless IoT units with micro-climatic sensors are positioned—up to 8 km away.

These serve as the data acquisition and communication units between the field sensors and the Livedata cloud platform, and are therefore included in both Meteosense stations and the Agrisense and Vinesense IoT systems.

A robust and reliable product, suitable for any professional application.
