Micro-Climate Wireless Sensor Monitoring System for Improves Vineyard Production in Napa Valley
The Climate Genie from Grape Networks consists of small battery powered nodes, often referred to as motes, to improve the yield and quality of crops. The Climate Genie wirelessly transmits temperature, humidity, and light information between each mote, with built-in radios, for monitoring anywhere in the World via the Internet. These motes/routers form a wireless mesh network with up to thousands of individual motes that are 10-300 meters apart. Each mote can sense a few simple things, such as temperature, moisture, light, or other physical qualities but as an aggregate gathers enormous sums of data about the quality and vitality of the grapes in the vineyard.
The complete story here.
