Build Monitoring That Reaches the Field.

HARDWARIO supplies field-ready devices and cellular or LoRaWAN connectivity. Your integration team owns the customer workflow, application, data, and rollout.

Agriculture IoT Solutions
The Reality

Common challenges

Post-harvest grain spoilage destroying stored crop value

No early warning for temperature spikes in silos

Livestock losses from undetected environmental stress

Remote facilities with no connectivity or power grid

Manual inspections that miss critical changes between visits

Extreme weather conditions that break standard equipment

Cost of inaction

A storage problem discovered late is already a margin problem.

Agriculture buyers need to see how quickly monitoring pays back: fewer field visits, earlier alerts, and less crop or livestock risk.

Review your project

Spoilage moves faster than inspections

Manual silo checks can miss the first temperature and humidity changes. Remote alerts catch conditions before stored crop value is lost.

Remote sites hide operational risk

Fields, bins, barns, and water infrastructure often lack grid power, Wi-Fi, or routine access. Blind spots turn small anomalies into expensive events.

Seasonal windows are unforgiving

Harvest, storage, frost, and irrigation decisions happen on tight timelines. Delayed data can mean missed action windows and avoidable losses.

Use cases

How We Help

Grain Storage Monitoring

Grain Storage Monitoring

Collect temperature and humidity across silo networks and surface changing conditions in the partner-owned application. GrainLink has deployed 1,000+ systems in North America.

Livestock Environment Monitoring

Livestock Environment Monitoring

Collect barn temperature, humidity, CO₂, and ammonia readings for the limits, alerts, and livestock workflow defined in the partner-owned application.

Weather & Frost Warning

Weather & Frost Warning

Collect local weather and microclimate data that the partner-owned application evaluates against customer-defined frost and drought thresholds.

Irrigation & Soil Monitoring

Irrigation & Soil Monitoring

Supply soil-moisture and irrigation signals to control or decision logic that the integration team designs and validates for the crop, site, and operating rules.

Recommended architecture

Your agriculture solution on a field-ready foundation.

You define the customer workflow and data destination. HARDWARIO supplies configurable field devices, connectivity choices, open integration paths, and production support.

01 Your team

Pick the loss point to monitor first

Choose the customer problem, success measure, system boundary, and application before selecting the first field configuration.

02 CHESTER

Install rugged sensing at the asset

Deploy battery or solar-powered CHESTER units on silos, barns, tanks, poles, and remote equipment with sensor inputs matched to the use case.

03 EMBER

Cover remote locations

Connect CHESTER over LTE-M, NB-IoT, or LoRaWAN; add EMBER where you operate a private LoRaWAN network with Ethernet or LTE backhaul.

04 Your application

Turn readings into action

Deliver readings to the farm workflow you own. Where HARDWARIO Cloud fits, use its REST API, webhooks, and data export as an integration layer.

Proof points

Lead with deployed evidence, not abstract IoT promises.

Agriculture buyers care about whether the system survives weather, scale, and seasonal urgency.

1,000+

systems deployed

GrainLink deployments across North America prove the monitoring model at commercial scale.

Results buyers can verify

GrainLink - North America

Grain storage visibility across remote silos

Before
Farmers relied on manual silo checks and had limited warning before temperature and humidity issues could damage stored grain.
Deployment
CHESTER GrainLink units with multi-point temperature monitoring delivered silo condition data from remote sites into GrainLink workflows.
Result
The deployment scaled to commercial grain storage while giving teams earlier warnings and a repeatable rollout model.

Products for Agriculture

CHESTER

CHESTER

CHESTER is our modular industrial IoT platform with cellular IoT, LoRaWAN, and BLE connectivity - battery-powered for years and field-proven down to -40°C in Canadian winters.

EMBER

EMBER

EMBER is our rugged LoRaWAN gateway for private IoT networks - it connects hundreds of sensors indoors and outdoors, with LTE cellular and Ethernet backhaul.

STICKER

STICKER

STICKER is our compact LoRaWAN sensor for environmental monitoring - built-in temperature and humidity sensing, support for external probes, and years of battery life on two AA batteries.

CLOUD

CLOUD

HARDWARIO Cloud handles secure message passing between your devices and systems - with REST API integration, firmware updates over the air (FOTA), and remote device shell.

Deployment path

Prove one customer workflow, then make it repeatable.

A typical scoped catalog pilot can target live data in 2-4 weeks. Custom sensing, firmware, or certification paths are scoped separately.

Week 1

Risk and site mapping

Identify the first storage, livestock, irrigation, or weather risk; confirm access, power, connectivity, and alert recipients.

Weeks 2-3

Pilot installation

Install sensors on a representative bin, barn, field, or tank and validate readings against current manual inspection routines.

Weeks 4-5

Alert and integration setup

Configure thresholds, notifications, and dashboards in the partner-owned application, then forward its outputs into farm operations as required.

After validation

Seasonal rollout

Replicate the proven configuration across bins, barns, fields, or customer sites before the next critical season.

FAQ

Buyer questions

Can the hardware work without grid power?

Yes. Agriculture deployments can use battery or solar-powered CHESTER configurations, depending on the sensor load and reporting interval.

What if the farm has no Wi-Fi?

The architecture can use LTE-M, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, or private LoRaWAN with EMBER, so Wi-Fi is not required for remote monitoring.

Can farmers install the system themselves?

Some catalog configurations are suitable for simple field installation. The integrator still defines mounting, sensing, connectivity, commissioning, and support for the customer's environment.

Which use case should we pilot first?

Start where losses are most visible: grain storage temperature and humidity, barn climate, irrigation control, frost alerts, or water and tank monitoring.
