Smart Farming & IoT Agriculture Solutions
PKE IoT Expert dramatically reduces time to market and efforts to create smart-farming solutions. Save up to 90% of development time for your smart-farming solution by utilizing the following platform benefits:
- Reliable and fault-tolerant data collection from your IoT devices and sensors to monitor facilities state, crop growth characteristics, humidity level, etc.;
- Powerful rule engine to process collected data and produce alarms and valuable insights;
- Optimize resource consumption with automatic remote control of actuators;
- Advanced and flexible visualization for real-time and historical data;
- Customizable end-user dashboards to share farm monitoring results;
- On-premises and cloud deployment options;
- Tolerate connectivity issues with the farm sites with the help of Edge-Controllers;
- Customizable mobile applications with minimum coding efforts;
The platform provides production-ready server infrastructure to connect your IoT devices, store and analyze collected IoT data and optimize returns on inputs and resources.
Smart farming dashboard
The following interactive dashboard represents a smart-farming component that you may easily embed into your IoT solution. This particular dashboard allows users to monitor and control the aeration inside silos. You may quickly adapt it to other farm assets tracking or remote control scenarios.
The dashboard displays real-time data from temperature, moisture, and ultrasonic sensor collected using MQTT API. Collected data is processed via the rule engine to raise alarms on certain thresholds. The main dashboard displays the silo asset’s location, corresponding alarms, and real-time data feeds.
PKE IoT Expert advantages
PKE IoT Expert supports high-availability deployments using K8S. Platform components are horizontally scalable.
Connect devices directly to the platform via the following built-in protocols: HTTP, CoAP, MQTT, LwM2M, and SNMP. Connect devices in your local network to the cloud using IoT Gateway via Modbus, BLE, BACnet, OPC-UA, and other protocols.
Connect LoRaWAN devices via integrations with standard network servers like TTN, LORIOT, ChirpStack, Actility, etc. Connect SigFox devices via integrations with the SigFox backend.
PKE IoT Expert supports industry-standard encryption algorithms like RSA and ECDSA to ensure the data is secure during transfer via TLS(TCP) and DTLS (UDP).
PKE IoT Expert allows you to define application logic with drag-n-drop rule chain designer. The Rule Engine is a robust and scalable processing framework that leverages industry-standard message queue implementations like Apache Kafka or AWS SQS to ensure data durability and guarantee data processing. You are free to process data with the Rule engine or push it to further processing in external systems.
Visualize collected data using rich interactive dashboards. Develop multi-state interactive dashboards with zero coding efforts and built-in charts, gauges, maps, tables, and control widgets. Customize every dashboard aspect using advanced widget settings or even custom widget bundles. Low latency updates are possible with embedded web-sockets support.
PKE IoT Expert Mobile Application comes with an built-in set of mobile actions to take a photo, scan QR code, update location, and interact directly with the customers dashboards.
PKE IoT Expert provides UI and API to manage tenants, customers, users, devices, and assets. Single tenant may have multiple tenant administrators and millions of devices and customers. It also offers out-of-the-box support of OTA updates for your smart meters.
