Energous is uniquely positioned to usher in this revolution with its wireless power solutions for the smart farming industry. Our portfolio of services offers a comprehensive approach to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and embrace sustainability, significantly changing how farmers operate, monitor, and make decisions about their farms.
Industry Specific Solutions
How Can We Help You
Â
Data-Driven Resource Management
We have to be smart about what resources we’re using and how quickly they can be replenished. This means introducing technology, like IoT sensors powered wirelessly over the air. The data and analytics from these sensors helps us understand what’s being used, when it’s being used, and how we can achieve the same results using less.Â
Process Optimization
Without full visibility into supply chain processes, bottlenecks can arise and create roadblocks to efficiency. With IoT sensors, organizations can work smarter, not harder. Data is collected every step of the way to iron out inefficiencies and employ more sustainable habits.
Increased Flexibility and Scalability
IoT sensors are flexible; with their small footprint, they can be placed along the entire supply chain, from farms to retail stores, for full transparency. Plus, as business priorities and market factors change, organizations can scale their IoT ecosystem accordingly.
Â
Human Error Mitigation
We might take action based on the information presented to us, but it might not be correct and things don’t always go as planned. With tracking sensors, we can be sure about the decisions we’re making. Automated data collection and analysis helps avoid incorrect inventory counting and other mistakes that can compound into serious issues.
Enhanced Production Efficiency
Tracking sensors make farmers smarter with data insights that help identify bottlenecks in the process and provide solutions to eliminate them. Plus, those insights cover shopping habits, so farms can produce what people will buy without under or overestimation.Â
Operational Cost Reduction
The smallest inefficiencies can snowball into major expenses that sink the business, so it’s critical to keep expenditures controlled without impacting production. RFID sensors, powered wirelessly over the air, monitor the business constantly, identifying tweaks that keep profits high, spending low, and margins under control.
Â
Improved Livestock Management
Sensors powered wirelessly on livestock can monitor health metrics such as temperature and movement, allowing for early illness detection and preventive care.
Natural Resource Preservation
Wireless powered GPS and geo-fencing on livestock can provide data to optimize grazing rotations and land usage.
Reduced Environmental Footprint
Wireless networks powered perpetually by solar, wind, etc. can provide connectivity across grazing lands for monitoring and reduce reliance on coal-generated energy.
