The 30MHz API: putting sensory data in context
Sensory data is a powerful tool in agriculture (or any industry, for that matter), enabling farmers to use granular, crop-level measurements to make better decisions for better harvests, optimise storage, improve processing and streamline transport. But we know that data’s always stronger, and more powerful, together. Speaking to customers across agriculture, we hear common complaints: ...Read more
ZENSIE data export lets you do more with your greatest asset
Physical data is a precious (and highly valuable) asset, and we believe it should work to our customers’ full advantage. Here at 30MHz, our philosophy on data ownership is pretty simple: data on your workplace physical environment (whether it’s a field, greenhouse, vertical farm, port or museum) is your intellectual property. All the data that we ...Read more
Sensor data makes sense with the ZENSIE image upload feature
30MHz provides customers with all the building blocks of a smart sensing network: a combination of rugged, industrial-grade sensors, a private and scalable mesh network, and a dashboard for notifications and analytics. With an internet connection and access to a power supply, even the least technical of team members can deploy sensors and start monitoring ...Read more
Stay up-to-date on changes in your environment with ZENSIE notifications
Whether it’s a greenhouse, storing and processing facility, arable field or manufacturing plant, when it comes to monitoring your environment, you need comprehensive, in-depth analytics to benchmark and observe trends. But to make sure you respond quickly and effectively to changing circumstances, you need to know as soon as there’s an anomaly. The ZENSIE dashboard ...Read more
Visualizing sensor data with ZENSIE heatmaps
At 30MHz, we’re always looking for new ways to make sensory data accessible, and easily applicable to our customers’ business contexts. We provide customers with all the building blocks of a smart sensing network, out of the box. Team members of any technical skill level can deploy sensors, set up a private mesh network, and ...Read more
Smart sensing for storage: lessons from the potato sector
When you think of smart farming, what comes to mind? Sensors in greenhouses, meticulously measuring crops and their environment? A weather station in the middle of a field? Neither image is, of course, incorrect. Greenhouse and arable farmers are changing their industry, making the most of limited resources, and delivering healthier and more delicious crops ...Read more
Optimising storage conditions with sensory data
Here at 30MHz, we’re not exactly quiet about the power of sensor data to transform agriculture. We’ve seen our customers reduce losses from destroyed crops, optimise water and nutrient delivery to maximize yields, and reduce energy costs just days after deployment. Thanks to over 80 customers — most of them in agriculture— we know that ...Read more
Measuring crop-level dew point is not a myth
Ask any grower about his or her experience with dew point and they’ll tell you about the potentially destructive impact, from mildew to Botrytis that moisture can have on crops. But while excessive moisture can potentially destroy a crop, we hear from growers that they aren’t always able to do much to combat its effect. ...Read more
Can smart sensing prevent potato rot and blight?
This past week, the 30MHz UK team had the opportunity to join Agritech-East for its annual REAP event. Throughout the day of talks, we saw first-hand just how important a role technology can (and must!) play in creating a sustainable, productive and profitable future for agriculture. But if technology is going to make farmers’ jobs ...Read more
Saving growers’ time with smart sensing technology
“How do they do it?” The 30MHz team meets with its fair share of growers, in the Netherlands and the world over. We get to tour greenhouses, fields and storage facilities, and hear firsthand from farmers how they work, what their challenges are, and where technology can play a role in increasing sustainability and productivity. With ...Read more
