Product Description
The IoT Weight Scale & Load Sensor provides wireless weight monitoring for greenhouse and controlled environment agriculture applications. Fully compatible with Microclimates EnvOS, the sensor enables growers to monitor plant weight, substrate moisture trends, irrigation uptake, and water consumption alongside other environmental data in one centralized platform.
Designed for long-term deployment, the sensor uses LoRaWAN wireless communication to transmit weight measurements to EnvOS, helping growers better understand irrigation performance, plant water uptake, and changes in growing conditions.
Each unit includes a weighing platform (tray) and is available in two sizes:
Key Features
EnvOS Compatible: Monitor and visualize weight measurements alongside irrigation, climate, and other environmental data.
Platform Included: Complete weighing solution with weighing tray and load sensor.
Two Platform Sizes: Available in 30 × 40 cm (150 kg) and 40 × 50 cm (300 kg).
Wireless Connectivity: LoRaWAN communication for remote monitoring without extensive wiring.
Weight Trend Monitoring: Track changes in plant, substrate, container, and liquid weight over time.
Flexible Power Options: Standard battery, extended-life battery, and solar-powered configurations.
IP67-Rated Electronics: Weather-resistant sensor electronics enclosure for demanding agricultural environments.
Easy Installation: Wireless design simplifies deployment across greenhouse growing areas.
Greenhouse Applications
Irrigation Management: Monitor container and substrate weight changes to better understand irrigation frequency, water uptake, and drying cycles.
Plant Growth Monitoring: Track weight changes throughout the growing cycle to identify trends in plant and substrate conditions.
Substrate Water Monitoring: Use weight trends to estimate water loss between irrigation events and support irrigation decisions.
Water & Nutrient Consumption: Measure changes in tank or reservoir weight to monitor liquid usage.
Environmental Data Integration: Combine weight measurements with temperature, humidity, light, and irrigation data within EnvOS for a more complete understanding of growing conditions.
