IoT Solutions: Crop and Soil Monitoring

Intelligent platform for agricultural management based on data and advanced analytics

Modern agriculture needs real-time information

Productivity depends on precise decisions: when to irrigate, how much to fertilize, how to respond to changes in climate or soil, and how to anticipate problems affecting crop health.

Without data, those decisions are made blindly. With data, resources can be optimized and performance improved.

IoT-based Crop and Soil Monitoring allows you to observe and analyze agricultural conditions from a cloud platform, supported by artificial intelligence and designed to help farmers, farms, and institutions make more efficient decisions.


Complete visibility of soil and crop status

The platform consolidates information from different sources available in the field:

  • Soil moisture
  • Ambient temperature
  • Crop conditions
  • Operational records
  • Images or locally captured data
  • Information from weather stations or existing sensors

Everything is centralized in an intuitive panel where you can visualize:

  • Current status of each plot
  • Soil variations
  • Potential moisture requirements
  • Climate behavior
  • Trends and comparisons between zones

The goal is to deliver total clarity of the crop condition.


AI for more precise agricultural recommendations

An artificial intelligence module analyzes historical and current data to offer practical information:

🌱 Irrigation recommendations

Suggests when and how much to irrigate based on soil moisture, climate patterns, and crop behavior.

🌿 Early warnings

Detects irregular changes that could indicate water stress, pest risk, or soil deterioration.

β˜€οΈ Local climate projections (if data is available)

Helps anticipate climate impacts on crops.

πŸ“Š Comparative analysis between zones

Allows identifying more productive areas or areas requiring intervention.

This AI layer transforms complex data into simple and actionable decisions.


A flexible system that adapts to each farm

Agricultural conditions change according to:

  • Location
  • Crop type
  • Management practices
  • Existing infrastructure

That's why the platform is designed to receive data from different sources without requiring a single standard.

It can work with:

  • Already installed sensors
  • Digitized manual records
  • Data sent from third-party devices
  • Information from systems the farm already uses

The approach is clear: use existing data to improve agricultural decision-making.


Key indicators for crop management

The platform shows essential KPIs for modern agricultural operations:

  • Crop health index
  • Soil moisture by zone
  • Thermal trend
  • Water stress risks
  • Variability between plots
  • Irrigation recommendations
  • Estimated water consumption
  • Projected productivity

These indicators help plan better and increase efficiency in each agricultural cycle.


Direct benefits

βœ… Better water use and waste reduction

βœ… Greater productivity through precise management

βœ… Early warnings of adverse conditions

βœ… Savings in inputs and resources

βœ… Greater crop stability

βœ… Continuous optimization through AI

βœ… Clear, centralized information accessible from anywhere


Practical example

A plot shows adequate surface moisture, but deeper layers are dry.

The variation goes unnoticed visually.

The platform detects it and the AI recommends:

"Apply light irrigation in the next 12 hours to avoid water stress."

The farmer intervenes in time, avoiding an impact on production.


Compatible with different agricultural approaches

The platform is useful in:

  • Precision agriculture
  • Extensive crops
  • Horticulture
  • Fruit trees
  • Greenhouses
  • Mixed farms
  • Educational or agricultural research institutions

Depending on existing infrastructure, 100% cloud or hybrid configurations with local modules can be evaluated.


Part of the 2025 Roadmap

Crop and Soil Monitoring is a key component of Nissi Energy's 2025 Roadmap.

Currently developing:

  • Local climate visualization modules
  • AI-based agricultural recommendations
  • Variability analysis between plots
  • Irrigation and water consumption projection
  • Flexible connectivity for different data sources

🟩 Note for companies and farms interested in IoT innovation

We are looking for agricultural operations, institutions, or farms that want to become early partners and participate in the initial implementation of these intelligent capabilities.

If your organization wants to:

  • Improve water management
  • Obtain visibility of soil and crops
  • Incorporate AI into agricultural management
  • Participate in early testing

We can establish an early implementation agreement, with exclusive benefits for the first participants.

Contact us to coordinate an exploratory meeting.


Conclusion

The agriculture of the future will be more precise, efficient, and sustainable thanks to data.

A platform based on IoT, AI, and cloud analytics allows better understanding of crop behavior, anticipating problems, and making informed decisions.

This solution is designed to accompany farmers and organizations in adopting intelligent and connected practices.
