Agricultural IoT technology, agritech or innovative farming technologies – can deliver real value to cannabis growers and producers.
FREMONT, CA: Through IoT technology, cannabis growers can improve their growing and production procedures. IoT soil, environment, and smart sensors can help better crop output and yield.
IoT is extensively accepted in agriculture, with smart irrigation systems, smart soil sensors, and environmental surveillance. Agricultural IoT technology, agritech or innovative farming technologies – can deliver real value to cannabis growers and producers. Cannabis is predicted to be a significant growth market, and IoT will undoubtedly play a role in this growth.
Cannabis IoT sensors
Temperature
IoT temperature sensors can precisely monitor the temperature of your facilities with unrivaled accuracy. Moreover, low-cost, battery-powered environmental sensors can be placed around the growing facility and observed through IoT cloud platforms.
Humidity
Cannabis plants take advantage of optimal humidity levels (55-65% relative humidity). High humidity levels put less requirement on soil moisture/irrigation – where plants require more water from their roots. IoT humidity sensors generally combine humidity and temperature sensors, making it simple to oversee humidity and temperature.
Soil moisture
Soil moisture is an important measurement of cannabis growth. It is essential to obtain the proper levels of soil moisture, and the ideal levels may rely on the type of soil, plants or other features of your production system. IoT sensors are concentrated on soil moisture, conventional soil moisture (at diverse depths), electro-conductivity, soil water prospect, and soil oxygen levels.
Smart Irrigation
A soil EC sensor can be interred or established on the soil's surface.
An ancillary system permits you to control your irrigation system intelligently, utilizing sensors like soil moisture, humidity and temperature. For example, IoT Smart valve systems will allow you to activate and deactivate valves according to actual moisture levels instead of depending on a scheduling system. Connection with soil moisture and smart irrigation is an outstanding example of precision agriculture. Smart Irrigation should be useful for any cannabis producer.
Power Monitoring
Power intake for heating, lighting and ventilation are essential costs for any cannabis producer. Employing IoT smart meters, you can measure power intake throughout your facility with high accuracy levels. Moreover, battery-powered, wireless single-phase and three-phase power meters can be readily deployed without needing an electrician to install them.
Asset trailing and seed-to-sale
RFID, BLE Beacons and 4G Trackers – can be fond of enclosures/packaging to offer real-time location tracking of your product. Also, RFID and BLE beacons present provision tracking of your produce and inventory across your production, quality control and distribution facilities – while 4G tracking can guarantee the crop is monitored once it leaves your conveniences. These technologies offer asset tracking from seed to sale, with different integration options with your back-office/ERP systems.
