How farmers use the IoT to stop disease

IoT in agriculture: In 2017, Bosch Japan launched Plantect™, a monitoring and disease prediction system that helps increase yields.

Bosch Software Innovations helped to build this system using various elements of the Bosch IoT Suite:

• Using wireless communication, the Bosch IoT Gateway Software connects low-energy, battery-powered sensors. The environmental data from these sensors is remotely captured in the Bosch IoT Cloud.
• In principle, the cloud makes data accessible anywhere, but Bosch IoT Permissions ensures it only gets to the right people. With the ability to manage and authorize users and tenants according to subsets such as roles and group membership, it keeps the process simple.
• Furthermore, the Bosch IoT Remote Manager allows sensors and gateways to be monitored and updated without having to traipse through every greenhouse.
