We would like to introduce a case where our simple and easily implementable "IoT Temperature and Humidity Management System" was introduced to a customer in Hokkaido. To maintain a certain temperature and humidity, personnel would regularly visit the facility or location to record and monitor the temperature and humidity. Our system was developed to alleviate this operation as much as possible. In line with recent trends, we have adopted EnOcean communication, which allows for communication using minimal energy. Customers can refer to the current temperature and humidity information through a browser on their computer or smartphone, and they can also check cumulative data in graph form or download it as a CSV file. [Implementation Results] ■ Current temperature and humidity information can be accessed from computers or smartphones. ■ Cumulative data can be viewed in graph form or downloaded as a CSV file. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Soil moisture levels are difficult to assess visually, and the process of collecting soil samples for direct measurement is time-consuming and impractical. As a result, the demand for easily measuring soil moisture levels and remotely checking them on devices such as smartphones is increasing year by year. To meet this demand, our company has collaborated on the development of a "cloud-based soil moisture sensor." We have achieved IoT integration by combining a high-precision soil moisture sensor with a system that allows data to be managed via a smartphone app through wireless communication. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges - There is an increasing demand for easily measuring soil moisture levels and remotely checking them on devices such as smartphones. ■ Results - We have achieved IoT integration by combining a high-precision soil moisture sensor with a system that allows data to be managed via a smartphone app through wireless communication. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of an agricultural IoT (data collection) experiment conducted from May to September 2018, with the cooperation of Kondo Farm in Rankoshi, Hokkaido. In early spring, the soil temperature in Hokkaido is slow to rise, and due to the recent unstable weather, the roots of tomatoes, which require temperature management, struggle to grow, leading to significant waste. To ensure a stable tomato harvest unaffected by weather conditions, we used an Abil heater and buried heaters in the soil at regular intervals. We adopted EnOcean communication, which allows for communication with small energy consumption in line with recent trends. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - Soil temperature in early spring in Hokkaido is slow to rise - Tomato roots cannot grow, leading to significant waste ■Results - Soil temperature was maintained at a stable +2°C to +3°C higher - Roots that could properly absorb nutrients in the soil grew sufficiently and took root *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
