About SensorAbout Sensor

The data source of JoinFarm Micro-Weather Sensor includes the daily farm work, the usage of medication and fertilizer by contract farmers in various regions. It also integrates open databases from Taiwan government (including soil, water, fertilizer, pesticides) and weather forecast data from WeatherRisk Explore Inc. to completely collect the agricultural data. JoinFarm Micro-Weather Sensor has gone through long-term tests under outdoor environment with its high stability and weather resistance.

Data sourced from cropland

JoinFarm Micro-Weather Sensor helps control three elements of growth - sunlight (illuminance, quantum), air (temperature, humidity, air pressure, CO2), and water (water level). By collecting environmental data, you can control and understand the yield, quality and harvest time of cultivated crops.

In addition, the sensor can be combined with high-accuracy soil sensor equipped with multiple measurement modes, which can change the measurement range of electrical impedance. Besides, it can also measure the difference between Bulk EC and Pore EC.

Micro-Weather Sensor

The sensor is independently developed by Ling Cheng Technology which includes the following features.

  • Easy and fast installation
  • High durability
  • Power saving: 10AH battery capacity, lasting 6 weeks without power supply
  • Multiple communication modes: choosing from 4G, NB IoT, LTE-M, Lora, or wifi

Smart field management platform

Installing a Micro-Weather Sensor can collect environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and quantum in real time. Then, the data is transmitted via wireless technology and stored in the database on JoinFarm.

Producers can monitor the cropland environment in real time at home. This not only saves the time spent by contract farmers to patrol croplands and search information on multiple platforms, but also can adjust the decision-making by comparing the records on JoinFarm.

Mobile patrol sensor

The mobile patrol sensor checks soil condition with mobile device, which replacing manual measurement and transcription to reduce mistakes. Then it sends the data back to JoinFarm cloud platform through bluetooth so that the managers can integrate complete records of crop growth and plan harvesting time.

Advantages of mobile patrol sensor

  • High mobility
    ｜Suitable for scattered contracted croplands with its high portability, making it easy to measure different spots
  • Good immediacy
    ｜Displaying data immediately after measuring
  • High accuracy
    ｜Equipped with Pore EC / Bulk EC values, making the measurement more accurate
  • Excellent integration
    ｜Directly connected to JoinFarm cloud platform
  • High applicability
    ｜Applicable to soil and water quality testing
