All-in-one weather and crop monitor delivers agricultural insight to farmers – CES 2018

The video tutorial introduces Arable's innovative hardware-software solution for agriculture, which involves placing a device above crop canopies to collect data on crop health and weather. This data is transmitted to the cloud and analyzed to provide insights and alerts for better irrigation and disease management. The device includes sensors like a distrometer, spectrometer, and net radiometer, which measure various environmental factors. The system uses machine learning to improve weather forecasts, helping farmers make informed decisions and reduce unnecessary resource use. The project is supported by the National Science Foundation, highlighting its potential impact on the agricultural sector.
