Integrating LoRaWAN Soil & Moisture Probes
The transition from manual pasture plate meters to autonomous sensor networks allows real-time field telemetry across large pastoral holdings. Solar-powered probes deployed at key elevations track volumetric water content (VWC), electrical conductivity (EC), and soil temperature at multi-depth profiles.
Satellite NDVI Imagery & Remote Biomass Calibration
By coupling localized IoT moisture sensors with Sentinel-2 satellite optical imagery, Feedmeadowpremier platform calculates Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) mapping. This automatically highlights underperforming pasture sectors and flags potential weed invasion before visual symptoms appear.
Virtual Fencing & Automated Livestock Movement
GPS collar systems synchronized with automated paddock rotation algorithms eliminate physical fencing labor. Graziers set virtual boundaries on the Feedmeadowpremier dashboard, emitting gentle auditory cues that prompt livestock to move to fresh paddocks precisely when target residual biomass levels are reached.
