Automatic Weather Station

Why Do We Need Smart Agriculture?

Food security

Food security is one of the most pressing issues in the world today. There are a number of natural calamities every year around the world damaging large swathes of crops. The world population is growing and food prices are rising to threaten the life of a sizeable percentage of the global population.

Technology intervention

Technology intervention to improve the farm level productivity is crucial to meet the growing demand. For centuries the agriculture has been at the mercy of nature, more specifically on the weather. But in the past few decades, various technologies technology interventions have ensured that farmers have better information or the weather in advance as well as control precipitation to some extent by using cloud seeding.

Automatic Weather Station

Automatic Weather Station (AWS) is used for real-time information on weather at the farm level. The AWS also provides information on soil moisture and soil temperature, giving better information on the irrigation requirement. Undoubtedly, AWS is a great tool in the hands of farmers today.

Automatic Weather Station for Smart Agriculture

Aeron offers rugged and reliable Automatic Weather Station (AWS) for smart agriculture and weather research applications. The AWS uses high accuracy sensors for the measurement of wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, humidity, rainfall, barometric pressure, soil temperature, soil moisture, and other parameters.

The weather sensors connect with a high-reliability data logger manufactured by Aeron for precision and reliable data collection from the sensors. The logger applies intelligent software filters on the collected data to remove noise and errors. The data is stored in the logger and communicated on wired and wireless mediums. The logger offers GSM/GPRS wireless data communication and RS232 for wired communication.

The AWS runs on built-in lithium-ion batteries which are charged from an external solar panel. Because of its low power consumption capability, the AWS can operate for over 20 days without external charging when sending data to the cloud at every 1-hour interval.

More than 1500 units of Automatic Weather Monitoring Systems from Aeron have been installed globally for smart agriculture and weather research applications.
