Sencrop

Raincrop’s tipping-bucket mechanism resolves 0.2 mm precipitation increments and transmits each tip event over Sigfox or LoRaWAN for near real-time hyper-local rainfall data. Sencrop network aggregates data from 30,000+ stations across Europe and South America, applying spatial interpolation to fill gaps between farmer stations and meteorological service grids. Decision-support module combines rainfall history with crop evapotranspiration (ETo) models to recommend precise irrigation trigger points and application volumes per field. Spray alert feature flags wind speed and humidity conditions outside safe pesticide application windows, reducing chemical waste and compliance risk. Solar panel and 6000 mAh Li-ion battery deliver 3+ years of autonomous operation.
