Two SynField smart agriculture systems were installed in different locations within the vineyards of Saint Emilion, France, specifically in areas growing Merlot varieties. Each installation consists of a SynField X5 head node, a SynOdos peripheral node, a meteorological station, soil sensors (measuring soil moisture and soil temperature), leaf wetness sensors, and a pyranometer. The meteorological station records ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind intensity, wind direction, and rainfall. SynField is able to collect environmental and soil data in real time, offering valuable information to growers. The data received by the sensors are periodically sent to the SynField web platform, where the users can monitor remotely the conditions prevailing in the area, whenever they want, from wherever they are. Furthermore, SynField offers automatic remote-control irrigation based on smart rules.
The SynField network is constantly expanding, both in Europe and Africa, with more installations expected to take place in the near future. SynField smart agriculture and smart farming systems have already been installed in many European countries, including Spain, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Greece, and Serbia, as well as in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Cameroon, Nigeria, and Ethiopia in Africa.
