Agriculture

The IoT platform built for soil, weather, and water.

Irrigation decisions made without soil data waste water and yield. Frost events without real-time alerts kill stone fruit in a single night. OmnIoT is the full-stack IoT platform running in agriculture production today: sensors in the ground, firmware cellular-native, cloud multi-tenant, mobile apps under your brand.

Who this is for

Three kinds of agriculture operators.

The platform is the same across farm types. The sensor mix and workflows differ. Here is how to tell which one is you.

Precision agriculture operators

You farm tens to thousands of hectares of row crops, orchards, or vineyards. You have known soil variability, variable irrigation needs, and a crew that spans fields. You need real-time soil moisture, weather, and irrigation control across multiple zones without running cables to every field.

Tree crops and perennial operations

You grow olives, citrus, avocados, almonds, stone fruit. Trees respond slowly, but decisions compound over years. You need soil moisture at multiple depths, weather logging for chill hours and disease pressure, and data that builds a year-over-year agronomic record.

Agricultural equipment OEMs and distributors

You sell pivots, pumps, fertigation systems, or greenhouse environmental controls, and your customers are asking for cloud connectivity and a mobile app. You need a branded IoT layer that fits your existing product line without building a firmware and cloud team.

Sensors

Any probe, one controller, one platform.

Modular hardware. Any sensor with RS485, analog, or I2C output plugs into the same controller. Our reference integrations cover every parameter a real farm tracks.

Soil moisture and tension

Watermark 200SS, tensiometers (single-depth and multi-depth), TDT/TDR probes. Accurate soil water status at root depth, not just surface. Digital RS485 or analog.

Weather and climate

Temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, rainfall, solar radiation. Calculated evapotranspiration. For greenhouse: VPD, CO2, PAR. Weather stations tailored to the farm's layout.

Soil conductivity and salinity

EC probes with salinity calculation. Critical for arid and saline environments where irrigation water is itself a variable.

Soil temperature

Digital (DS18B20) temperature at root depth. Disease pressure indicator, germination timing, frost prediction.

Water quality for irrigation

pH, EC, ORP for fertigation lines and reservoir water. Same chemistry as our aquaculture line; reused across verticals.

Valve and pump control

Digital outputs to drive 24V AC and 12/24V DC valves, pump relays, and pivot controllers. Closed-loop irrigation directly from sensor readings.

Workflows

What your agronomists and growers actually do.

Sensor data is the input. Workflows are what makes it useful. OmniCloud ships with the workflows agriculture operations need on day one.

Field-level telemetry

Every sensor reading lands in a multi-tenant cloud every few minutes. Dashboards per field, per zone, per crop.

Irrigation scheduling

Soil-moisture-driven irrigation scheduling. Manual overrides. Safety interlocks for pump protection. Water usage tracking for regulatory reporting.

Alerting and agronomic rules

Thresholds per zone and per crop growth stage. Frost alerts, disease pressure alerts, low moisture. Push notification, email, Telegram.

Mobile field app

Branded iOS and Android app for agronomists and field crew. GPS-tagged observations, photo notes, manual sensor readings via RS485 over USB-OTG. Works offline.

Year-over-year records

Multi-season data in the same tenant. Compare soil moisture curves, weather, yield across years. Useful for agronomic decisions and for qualifying for subsidies or certifications.

Worker and permissions

Multi-tenant cloud with roles per user. The owner sees everything. The agronomist sees fields they manage. The field worker sees the tank/field/valve they need.

Production proof

Running in agriculture today.

Agrinovo, our parent company, operates OmniCloud in production across agriculture deployments including row crops, orchards, and tree-crop operations. Active paying customers include olive, stone fruit, and other perennial crop growers. This is not a pilot; it is a shipping product.

FAQ

Agriculture-specific questions.

What agriculture sensors does OmnIoT integrate with?

Any sensor with RS485 Modbus RTU, analog 0-10V or 4-20mA, or I2C output plugs into our controllers directly. Common integrations include Watermark 200SS soil tension sensors, tensiometers (single and multi-depth), SHT30 temperature/humidity, DS18B20 soil temperature, standard rain gauges, weather stations, and soil moisture and salinity probes. Custom sensors can be added as part of an ODM engagement.

Is the platform proven in production for agriculture?

Yes. Agrinovo, our parent company, runs OmniCloud in production across agriculture deployments including row crops, orchards, and tree crops. Active paying customers include tree crop operations monitoring olive groves and stone fruit. This is not a pilot; it is a shipping product with customers.

Does the platform work where there is no cellular signal?

Devices buffer data locally and transmit when coverage returns. Long gaps (hours to days) are handled gracefully. For truly dead zones (deep canyons, remote mountain farms), a LoRa or sub-GHz mesh extension is possible under an ODM engagement. Most agricultural land has at least marginal cellular, and our firmware is tuned for low-signal environments.

Can I control irrigation valves and pumps, not just monitor?

Yes. Controllers have digital outputs rated for common valve classes (24V AC, 12/24V DC) and dry contacts for pump relays. MQTT control topics with safety interlocks and schedules. Closed-loop soil-moisture-driven irrigation is a standard workflow in the cloud.

How long do battery-powered devices run in the field?

A soil moisture node that reads every 15 minutes and transmits every hour typically runs 6 to 12 months on internal battery; 2 to 4 years with a small solar panel. Weather stations with higher sampling rates run shorter. Controllers driving valves and pumps are mains-powered; the sensor nodes distributed across the field are battery or solar.

Does the platform support Hebrew, Arabic, or other languages?

Yes. The cloud UI and mobile apps support multiple languages including RTL (Hebrew, Arabic). The platform has been in production with Hebrew-first and bilingual customers since 2023.

How quickly can I get a pilot running in my fields?

Typical pilots run 6 to 10 weeks from kickoff to devices in the ground. Faster if the sensors you want are in our reference hardware library; slower if we need to integrate a new sensor type. For a typical first pilot we deploy 5 to 20 devices across a representative subset of your fields.

What does a typical agriculture engagement cost?

Quoted per scope. Pilot tier starts in the low five figures USD for hardware and NRE. Production scales to per-device hardware costs plus a per-user or per-hectare SaaS fee. We do not publish fixed price lists; every farm is different in size, sensor mix, and desired automation.
