About The Customer
Smartisland is a Sicily-based start-up that aims to innovate the agri-food chain with precision farming technology. The company provides a complete hardware and software system for remote monitoring of different crop types including vegetables, olives, fruits, and almonds. Their system, Daiki Vision and Analytics devices, collect images and information on the environment, leaf wetness, and soil characteristics, while aggregating further climatic and crop data on a micro-field level from modular Daiki Node sensors located within a 5-6 km radius via LoRa technology. The company's goal is to digitalize and improve the agri-food chain with new technology.
The Challenge
Modern farmers are under constant pressure to improve crop yields and productivity due to increasing weather extremes, dwindling resources, and a growing population. To address this challenge, Sicily-based Smartisland aims to create and distribute new technological solutions that contribute to a more efficient and sustainable agri-food chain. Their crop monitoring system lets agri-food companies across supply chains harness sensor data to save on water and chemical resources, prevent crop diseases, and telematically control their farms wherever they are. However, to deliver actionable crop insights to customers, Smartisland needed a versatile communication platform capable of enabling and managing connectivity even in rural areas.
The Solution
Smartisland found the reliability and control it was looking for in EMnify. The EMnify SIM, used in Daiki Vision devices, forwards all sensor data to the Daiki Modular Cloud Platform, a precision farming software solution, where the information is extracted, processed, and visualized for users to access any time. The EMnify SIM can automatically select the best cellular connection wherever Daiki devices are, to ensure successful data transmission to the cloud. Using the web portal, the Smartisland team can gain a real-time view of the device status, easily activate or deactivate SIM cards, and stay on top of all device connections.
Operational Impact
  • The Daiki system helps customers prevent climatic stress, pathogens from water, and crop diseases while enabling greenhouse automation and comprehensive diagnostics on crop health and growth.
  • The robust device-to-cloud communication enabled by EMnify means that Smartisland can always rely on secure and reliable sensor data collection from any farmland, to deliver and innovate smart farming services today and in the future.
