Climavi Agroclimate
Solar-powered IoT system for microclimate monitoring
Description
Climavi Microclimate is an IoT-based monitoring solution for farmers and land managers that supports irrigation, fertilization and risk management. It provides real-time field intelligence through early-warning alerts, disease and frost risk prediction, integration with satellite data and dashboards for continuous monitoring. The system helps optimize input use and manage climate-related risks, contributing to more sustainable farm operations.
Technology
Climavi combines autonomous solar-powered IoT sensors with low-power connectivity protocols such as LoRaWAN, NB-IoT or Mioty. The devices measure soil moisture, temperature, humidity and rainfall, and are geolocated via GPS. Data are transmitted to a cloud backend where AI and GIS-based models generate microclimate risk maps and management recommendations. Farmers access outputs through a mobile app and web dashboard, enabling field-specific and timely decision-making.
Target
Climavi Microclimate is designed for farmers of various sizes.
Business model
The solution combines hardware (solar‑powered microclimate sensors) and software. The app is free and the sensor with the transmitter is available for purchase at EUR 1080.
Impact
Climavi Microclimate aims to enhance on-farm decision-making by providing high-frequency microclimate data, supporting timely irrigation, fertilization, and frost protection measures. It can contribute to sustainable farming by optimizing water and nutrient use and supports climate adaptation strategies. According to the company’s website, the sensors have been tested by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection and recommended by the Competence Center for Innovative Procurement.
