With the continuous development of modern agriculture, automated soil moisture monitoring and management has become an indispensable part of the agricultural sector. As a critical foundational resource for agricultural production, soil moisture conditions play a vital role in crop growth and development. Maintaining proper soil temperature and moisture helps ensure a healthy growing environment for crops, contributing to higher yields and better quality.

However, under traditional farmland management practices, farmers often rely on experience and intuition to judge soil moisture—an approach that is not only prone to significant error and labor-intensive, but also suffers from serious delays in responding to incidents. It cannot cope with various climate changes and unexpected events, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern, high-efficiency agriculture.

To address this issue, WideIOT offers a soil moisture data acquisition and remote monitoring system. Industrial smart gateways collect data from soil temperature and moisture sensors and upload it in real time to a monitoring and management platform. Through PC or mobile devices, administrators can monitor key parameters such as soil temperature, moisture, and salinity in real time—gaining a more accurate understanding of farmland moisture conditions and trends, and enabling scientific irrigation and fertilization decisions.

Features and Functions

Multi-Parameter Monitoring – Supports connection to and collection from various monitoring elements, including soil moisture content, soil temperature, battery voltage, ambient temperature, and GPS location data.
Automatic Alerts – Automatically triggers alerts for abnormal data and sends notifications via WeChat, SMS, or email, providing alarm details so that timely action can be taken.
Flexible Control Modes – Supports scheduled data reporting, immediate read, immediate write, batch read, and batch write operations, enabling bidirectional control with farmland equipment.
Data-Driven Decision Support – By analyzing soil moisture data to inform decisions, timely measures such as irrigation or drainage can be implemented—effectively reducing the impact of drought and flooding on agricultural production.
Reliable Connectivity – The gateway supports 5G/4G/Wi-Fi/Ethernet connectivity and features transmission protection functions such as resume-after-disconnection and multi-network backup, ensuring data security.
Rugged Design – The gateway features an IP30-rated, all-metal, fully sealed enclosure with fanless cooling and an operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C, making it suitable for complex and variable natural environments.
