Solution Details
Field Weather Monitoring System: Comprehensive Environmental Data Collection
The Field Weather Monitoring System is a robust solution designed for precise environmental monitoring. The device features 1 channel for wind speed, 1 for wind direction, 1 for air temperature and humidity, 1 for rainfall collection, and 2 relay outputs. Data can be uploaded to the monitoring software platform via GPRS or Ethernet port. Additionally, the weather station includes 1 ModBus-RTU slave interface, allowing data transmission to customer monitoring software or PLC configuration screens via 485 communication. It also supports connection to an external LED display.
Key Project Features of the Weather Monitoring System
The system is engineered for reliability and ease of use in remote field locations.
- Utilizes solar power supply, eliminating the need for grid electricity.
- Standard mounting bracket for easy installation.
- Employs an ultra-low-power Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), allowing for a smaller, more cost-effective solar power configuration and easy installation. A mobile APP provides intuitive visualization of on-site monitoring data, enabling farmers and administrators to grasp field weather and soil conditions in real-time.
Core Product Characteristics

Technical Data Overview
Approach
How we implement intelligence into your infrastructure step by step.
Requirement Analysis and Site Planning
Conduct on-site surveys of farmland topography and crop types to define monitoring parameters (temperature, humidity, rainfall, etc.). Determine the number and locations of monitoring points based on crop distribution and microclimate variations, avoiding agricultural machinery operation zones and low-lying waterlogged areas.
Solution Design and Equipment Selection
Design a three-tier "Sensing - Transmission - Platform" architecture, matching field communication (prioritizing LoRa/NB-IoT) and power supply solutions (solar + battery). Select sensors with high protection ratings and low power consumption, ensuring their accuracy meets agricultural observation standards.
Equipment Deployment and Installation
Carry out construction during non-growing seasons. Complete tasks including pole foundation pouring, sensor installation, and debugging of power and communication modules. Install protective enclosures and implement measures for lightning protection and prevention of agricultural machinery collisions.
System Setup and Joint Commissioning
Deploy the monitoring platform and configure data acquisition frequency and alarm thresholds. Establish the data link between devices and the platform, testing data resumption after interruption. Verify multi-terminal data viewing and alarm notification functions.
Calibration and Trial Operation
Calibrate sensor accuracy using standard meteorological instruments. Conduct a 1-2 week trial run to monitor equipment stability and data accuracy, optimizing parameter configurations.
