What is illuminance? Illumination intensity, referred to as illuminance, is a physical term that refers to the luminous flux of visible light received per unit area. The unit of illumination is Lux (Lux or LX). Illuminance is the illuminance of an object’s surface, which can be detected by a Illumination Sensor. Plant growth is achieved …
What is the rain gauge? A rain gauge is a specialized instrument used to measure the amount of precipitation in an area over a period of time. The more common siphon type, tipping bucket type, optical rain gauge, weighing rain gauge, etc. The tipping bucket rain gauge is most commonly used in meteorological monitoring. Instrument …
When the soil pH value is about 6.5, the absorption and utilization of nutrients by plants is the highest, which is also the most conducive to the growth and development of crops. Therefore, the role of soil pH sensor is indispensable, so how should we choose the most suitable equipment? Pay attention to the measurement …
What is an anemometer？ Before discussing the advantages of Ultrasonic wind speed sensors , let’s see what an anemometer is first. An anemometer is an instrument that measures air velocity. There are diverse types of it and among which that the wind cup anemometer is the most commonly used in meteorological stations. It is mainly …

Background： The development of agriculture has always been closely related to the interpretation and prediction of the weather. Since the first standard rain gauge was introduced in 1441, humans have been trying to protect crops with increasingly advanced tools to better predict the weather, such as weather stations. No matter how many technological innovations happen …
What Tools Do Farmers Need for Data Analytics? Data analytics – using new technologies to gain insight from digital data – is more common in other industries than farming. Still, agriculture has much to gain from it. Before farmers can start capitalizing on these technologies, though, they must acquire the necessary tools.With the continuous development …
