Transforming Traditional Agriculture into Smart Agriculture 

Today, IoT systems can help improve and optimize business processes in the agricultural sector, bringing it closer to technological and ecological transformation. This makes it possible to achieve the objectives set out in the Agenda 2030 for the protection of the planet’s natural ecosystem.

Precision Agriculture:

• Crops: For plantation monitoring, devices can monitor environmental parameters such as air humidity, temperature, wind intensity, soil parameters, and irrigation level. These indicators are crucial for determining crop health and ensuring proper photosynthesis. The LWD (Leaf Wetness Duration) indicator helps define the duration of leaf moisture, essential for addressing crop parasites quickly.
• Winery: Precision agriculture helps increase wine grape production and quality. Sensors automate irrigation systems, reduce fertilizer usage, and manage plant diseases like downy mildew and powdery mildew.
• Greenhouse: IoT solutions plan and set up optimal irrigation and fertigation strategies. Sensors detect soil and environmental data, helping manage crops in real-time for the best product quality and yield.
• Livestock: Monitoring farm animals involves collecting data on environmental conditions (temperature, air quality, humidity) and animal health (vital signs, abnormal movements). This information helps plan the best grazing times and areas.

Automated Irrigation System:

• Proper soil nourishment requires adequate water distribution. Urbana’s IoT solution monitors and controls water supply, using wireless sensors to track soil temperature and humidity. This data helps farmers improve irrigation planning and reduce water consumption.

Environmental Management of Wineries:

• Wine and balsamic vinegar production requires constant temperature, controlled humidity, and precise ventilation and lighting. IoT sensors monitor these parameters, alerting staff to any variations for timely intervention.

Production Chain Traceability:

• Monitoring and tracking the entire production cycle is essential for quality and certification awards. Urbana’s IoT Platform collects and logs all product data, ensuring accurate and reliable documentation.
