LoRa Smart Agriculture Solution

Smart Agriculture

From measuring environmental conditions that influence crop production to tracking livestock health indicators, Internet of Thigns (IoT) technology for agriculture enables efficiencies which reduce environmental impact, maximize yield and minimize expenses. LoRa -based smart agriculture use cases have demonstrated significant improvements,such as the Richerlink Smart Agriculture System.LoRa Technology’s long-range, low-power wireless qualities enable the use of low cost sensors to send data from the farm to the Cloud where it can be analyzed to improve operations.

RicherLink Smart Agriculture System

The system consists of multiple control units,each control unit managing an area.All of them are managed by the control platform through wireless 3G/4G network.The perception device of the agricultural and forestry region transmits the current status of agricultural and forestry status to the management platform. sets parameters on the platform, makes statistics on the real-time situation, stores data and charts on the computer through special software. At the same time, special operations can be performed manually.

It can display the information of cultivated land environment for the owners and operators of cultivated land to know the current situation of cultivated land in time, dealing with the cultivation schedule log, abnormal inquiry, inspection management. What’s more, it can handle the addition, modification and deletion of main file data maintenance, and so on. Therefore, it can be used in the internal management.

Architecture

The micro-station consists of three main modules: the main body of the station, the wind speed and rain module, and the soil quality monitoring module.
