Climate change is redefining agriculture. Traditional experience-based planting is being replaced by data-driven decision-making. In this transformation, the Automated Weather Station (AWS) serves as the nerve center of the farm. It monitors weather changes in real-time, providing scientific evidence for irrigation, fertilization, pest control, and crop management.

An agricultural weather station is a device specifically designed to provide real-time meteorological data for agricultural production. It monitors and records various meteorological elements relevant to farming, helping farmers and managers make informed decisions to optimize production and management. Key functions typically include:
1. Temperature Monitoring: Measures air and soil temperature to understand crop growth environments, especially critical during seasonal transitions where temperature directly impacts production.
2. Humidity Monitoring: Tracks air and soil humidity to assess crop water needs and predict pest/disease risks. Excessively high or low humidity can adversely affect growth.
3. Wind Speed and Direction Monitoring: Helps forecast weather changes and evaluate wind impacts on activities like pesticide spraying.
4. Light Intensity: Essential for photosynthesis; light levels directly influence crop growth and yield.
5. Radiation Monitoring: Measures solar radiation intensity to evaluate plant growth conditions and support photosynthesis processes.
6. Precipitation: Monitors rainfall amount and patterns to predict irrigation needs, avoiding over- or under-watering.
Agricultural weather stations are equipped with multiple sensors and data loggers, transmitting data via protocols like Modbus or RS485 to cloud platforms or local servers. This allows real-time data viewing, scientific analysis, and decision-making to boost yield, quality, and reduce risks.
Modern stations also feature automation, such as adjusting irrigation or greenhouse conditions based on data, enabling precision agriculture and higher efficiency.
In the context of intensifying climate change and crop diversification, agricultural weather stations play a pivotal role by delivering precise meteorological support.
By integrating high-precision sensors, IoT communication, and cloud analytics, it enables farms, research institutions, photovoltaic plants, and government projects to achieve continuous, accurate, and intelligent environmental monitoring.
Niubol AWS integrates multiple high-precision sensors for real-time key data collection:
- Wind Speed & Direction: Ultrasonic sensors with no mechanical wear, fast response, and long lifespan.
