Agriculture

Wireless sensors provide real-time data on soil moisture, temperature, and humidity, enabling precise irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. This technology boosts crop yields, reduces resource waste, and promotes sustainable farming practices. Wireless sensors support healthy livestock, poultry and other farm animals by monitoring environmental conditions in which they live. Additionally, wireless sensors can monitor equipment performance, identify preventative maintenance opportunities, and alert mechanics when equipment fails.

Track conditions over time to optimize the use of equipment, improve growing environments, ensure safe food storage, improve animal living conditions, and optimize use of utilities. Receive instant mobile alerts when measurements exceed configured thresholds, enabling immediate corrective actions when equipment performance falters or environmental conditions require intervention. Swift Sensors wireless monitoring solutions offer reliable, efficient, and scalable options for agriculture, enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality control.

Our Best Wireless Sensors For Agriculture

Farms, greenhouses, and agriculture production facilities rely on proper environmental conditions to protect and optimize output.  Temperature, humidity, and moisture are just a few of the environmental conditions that can make or break yields and prevent the spread of disease.  Knowing when these conditions change with a remote monitoring system is essential. Swift Sensors offers a variety of wireless sensors for use in agriculture and and farming applications. 

FAQ

A Swift Sensors system requires the purchase of at least one gateway, at least one sensor, and a monitoring plan.

  • We offer over 30 types of wireless sensors. Each sensor is smaller than a credit card and has battery life of 6-8 years. The sensor transmits data via Bluetooth 5 (BLE5) and connects to the gateway with a push of a button.
  • The gateway receives data from each sensor and then transmits the data to the cloud console via local ethernet, WiFi, or cellular network (optional module). Each gateway supports up to 150 sensors within a 500 foot radius.
  • The monitoring plan is very simple. The fee is based on the number of sensors you deploy. You can pay monthly, annually, or multi-year. There are no contracts required. View real-time analytics, download compliance reports, and receive instant mobile alerts on any device.

The sensor range is generally 500 ft (150 m) depending on the facility infrastructure and equipment located between the sensor and the gateway. The sensors use the BLE5 wireless communication protocol which allows signal transmission through doors and walls constructed of standard building materials.

Each sensor uses two AAA lithium polymer batteries with an average lifespan of 6-8 years.  Replacement batteries are readily available at hardware stores and various retail locations.

The monitoring plan is very simple. The fee is based on the number of sensors you deploy. You can pay monthly, annually, or multi-year. There are no contracts required.

The Swift Sensors Console is a robust cloud-based monitoring, alerts, and reporting platform viewable remotely on any device. The Console is used for hardware setup and system configuration. The Console presents analytics that provide trend analysis, historical documentation, compliance reporting, and deep insights into equipment performance, facility operations, and environmental conditions. The platform is customizable and adaptable to any industry with unparalleled ability to search, filter, sort and view critical measurement and performance data. Configurable instant alerts enable immediate corrective actions when significant events occur. Alerts can be sent to individuals or groups via SMS text, email, or voice.

The Swift Sensors monitoring, alerts, and reporting platform was developed and is maintained by industry experts with extensive experience in network security. Sensor to gateway communication utilizes BLE5 and 128-bit AES encryption. Gateway to cloud Console communication utilizes ethernet, WiFi, or cellular (optional module) and 256-bit AES encryption. Data is securely transmitted over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on port 443. The Swift Sensor network does not allow any outside communication. As a result, the Swift Sensor network is incredibly secure.

Swift Sensors only communicate with Swift Sensors gateways. Swift Sensors gateways only communicate with the Swift Sensors Console. The Swift Sensor network does not allow any outside communication. As a result, the Swift Sensor network is incredibly secure. The Swift Sensor Console, however, features a robust API which can be utilized to communicate with 3rd-party applications.
