Agriculture uses over 70% of water usage across the whole world, making it crucial for farmers to carefully manage their water usage. With precision farming, farmers can collect and generate data through sensors, analyzing the information to evaluate their current farming practices. They can use this data to make improvements for greater efficiency and effectiveness.
As the global demand for food and other organic goods increases, farmers must find efficient ways to produce more. Precision Farming utilizes IoT to increase productivity, performance, profitability, and crop yield while lowering traditional resources needed to grow crops (water, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, and land).
At Data Solutions Group, Inc. we focus on offering a haste free development process. We work with our clients to incorporate the required sensors and control features into a complete custom-built IoT solution. Our precision farming solution enables farmers who are looking to gain by incorporating the latest in IoT technology.
The DSG IoT dashboard is mobile optimized so that you can work from anywhere. With multiple notification options, you can stay informed of any environmental thresholds that have been crossed allowing you to resolve problems as they appear. Automation features can be enabled in our IoT dashboard enabling instant rectification of problems without human intervention.
