Secure Growth.Increase Yield.
Precise monitoring of soil moisture, climate and light. We deliver the robust wireless infrastructure to optimize irrigation and prevent crop loss from fungal infections or frost.
- IP67 & UV Resistant
- Long Range Connectivity (LoRaWAN)
- Managed Data Platform
Data Instead of Gut Feeling.
Traditional agriculture is based on experience – Smart Agriculture on facts. We replace the 'watering can principle' with precise data points to efficiently use fertilizer, water and energy.
Scheduled Irrigation
Irrigation on schedule wastes water or leads to waterlogging.
Precise Soil Moisture Measurement
Precise soil moisture measurement at various depths. Irrigation only when the plant needs it.
Wrong Climate Promotes Fungal Growth
Excessive humidity promotes fungal infections like Botrytis or powdery mildew.
VPD Monitoring
We monitor the ratio of temperature to humidity (Vapor Pressure Deficit) and warn before the climate tips.
No WiFi, No Power
Greenhouses and fields are often far apart. No WiFi, no power grid.
LoRaWAN Infrastructure
Battery-powered sensors transmit over kilometers to a central, solar-powered gateway.
Infrastructure for Growth.
merkaio core
Deployment of Milesight agricultural sensors. Developed for harsh environments, resistant to fertilizers, UV radiation and spray water (IP67).
merkaio ops
We monitor network coverage on your fields. If a gateway fails (e.g., due to severe weather), we react immediately. We guarantee data availability.
merkaio dev
Calculation of complex agricultural metrics (VPD, GDD - Growing Degree Days) directly in the dashboard. Integration with irrigation controllers via API.
Sensors for Tough Field Conditions.
Milesight EM500-SMTC
The Soil Expert
Soil moisture, temperature & conductivity (EC).
- 3-in-1: Measures not only moisture but also electrical conductivity (EC), allowing conclusions about salt/fertilizer content in the soil.
- Robust: Probes are corrosion-resistant and can remain permanently in the ground.
Milesight EM300-TH
The Climate Guardian
Air temperature & humidity.
- VPD Basis: Provides raw data for calculating vapor pressure deficit.
- Mounting: Flexibly mountable on supports or walls in the greenhouse.
Milesight EM500-LGT
The Light Analyst
Light intensity.
- Function: Measures illuminance (Lux) to efficiently control artificial lighting.
- Application: Automation of shading systems or grow lights.
From Sensor to Harvest Optimization.
We visualize your data in Grafana or ThingsBoard. Specially tailored for agricultural needs:
Zone Map
Visualization of soil moisture on an aerial view of your fields/greenhouses (heatmap).
VPD Chart
Live calculation of vapor pressure deficit. Green = Optimal growth, Red = Fungal risk.
Frost Alert
Instant notification to your phone when critical temperatures are reached.
