The Spanish bank Ibercaja impulsed Agrotech, an IoT financing program for agronomists to ease the introduction and adoption of the Internet of Things technology into this traditional sector. Agrotech was developed by EFOR, global leader in technological services, and solutions for management, communication and marketing of companies, and Libelium, hardware IoT company specialized in agriculture precision. Thanks to smart technologies and artificial intelligence, farmers can make a more efficient consumption of natural resources and know which is the best moment for sowing, irrigating, fertilizing or harvesting. Prior to the project, some objectives to be covered with Agrotech were settled:Libelium Waspmote Plug & Sense! Smart Agriculture in Agrotech project
However, the Spanish wine sector must face the problems derived from the rural depopulation and global warming. Wineries in numerous countries are starting to develop new IoT technology in order to face the climate change. Temperature, rainfall, potential evapotranspiration, sunlight, and wind are the most influential factors affecting the physiology of the grape. Knowing these aspects in advance can help oenologists to better calibrate the different parameters which determine the character and quality of the wine. In the first place, the main objective of the Agrotech project is to provide an autonomous IoT measurement system, with no need for any action taken by users that have this system deployed in their farms. The system must do several readings from different variables measured in the fields, such as soil moisture and wind speed.“What do you cultivate?” – Agrotech project

EFOR highlights Libelium’s ready-to-go hardware for a fast time-to-market experience. Users experienced great time savings since they do not have to access physically the yards every time they want to check something. Additionally, tons of knowledge have been generated because the user can now compare what their experience tells them with real data. In this case, also new watering procedures were implemented based on data, generating large cost savings. Key users understand that real-time monitoring in their farm is necessary to be more productive and efficient. “Working with Libelium has been, as always, a great pleasure. We have had a lot of support and thanks to their Technical Team we have solved issues that directly impacted the project,” comments Guillermo Renancio, Head of IoT & Communications at EFOR.Este proyecto de IoT contribuye a alcanzar los siguientes Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible: Sustainable Development Goals:
