DescriptionOverview of the initiative and its approach.
Agrila is a modular sensor station that uses Internet of Things and cloud technologies to provide in-field weather and environmental information. The solution supplies farmers with data on soil moisture and air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall, leaf wetness, and solar radiation. The modular sensor station is easy to install and uses cellular connectivity through an integrated SIM card that covers 179 countries.
TechnologyTechnology used by the initiative.
Agrila transmits data via cellular/LTE to a cloud platform offering dashboards and API integration for users to access historical data of their fields and greenhouses. The hardware of the smart sensor is EU-manufactured modular for easy maintenance, and solar-powered that can last up to six weeks of operation without any sunlight.
TargetUsers, groups, or communities targeted by the initiative.
The initiative’s target users are greenhouse operators and field farmers, aiming to monitor microclimates and automate irrigation or environmental management.
Business modelHow the initiative delivers and sustains its value.
The solution is available for one-time purchase or lease, with optional subscription for cloud dashboard, DSS integration, and support services.
