Modular Plant Monitoring System – LoRaWAN / NB-IoT: Internet of Plants (IoP) | Ecomatik

Ecomatik Internet of Plants is a modular LoRaWAN or NB-IoT system for continuous plant and environmental monitoring.

PRICE ON REQUEST

The Internet of Plants (IoP) solution from ECOMATIK is a modular and scalable system designed for continuous monitoring of plant and environmental parameters. It enables plants to become “connected” through low-power measurement nodes using LoRaWAN or NB-IoT / LTE-M communication technologies.

The system combines:

IoP-S: Compact nodes for specific low-power sensors
IoP-MI8: Multi-sensor stations for advanced monitoring applications
IoP-Logger: LoRa gateway with embedded LoRa stack server and local data logging function

Optional cloud hosting and online visualization services provide access to real-time and historical data.

Advantages

Modular and scalable architecture suitable for scientific and agricultural projects
LoRaWAN or cellular transmission depending on site topology
Wide compatibility with analog and digital sensors
Low power consumption with long battery lifetime
Customizable configurations based on sensor type and quantity
Option for local data storage or direct server transmission

Main Features

Modular architecture including compact measurement nodes, multi-sensor stations, and dedicated gateway
