How ThingsBoard helps agriculture improve operations with IoT?

Digital transformation for smarter farming

ThingsBoard empowers agricultural businesses to transition from manual processes to data-driven, automated operations. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools that enable real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and smart automation across farms, greenhouses, storage facilities, and field equipment. One of the most powerful features of ThingsBoard is its interactive dashboards, which allow users to visualise live and historical data from soil sensors, weather stations, machinery, and other connected devices. These dashboards can be customised using an extensive widget library and built with dynamic layouts to create intuitive, responsive interfaces for different user roles and devices.

Scalable design with templates

To support scalability and consistency, ThingsBoard includes templatization features that allow agricultural teams to easily duplicate dashboard configurations and device logic across multiple locations or projects, accelerating deployment across regions or clients.

Automating agriculture with Rule Engine 2.0

The Rule Engine 2.0 plays a central role in enabling smart automation. It allows users to create low-code workflows that react to incoming data in real time. For example, irrigation systems can automatically activate based on soil moisture thresholds, or alerts can be triggered when storage temperatures exceed safe ranges. These workflows use a visual editor, making them accessible even to non-developers.

Unified ecosystem through seamless Integration

ThingsBoard also supports a wide variety of integrations, enabling seamless connection with third-party systems and services via MQTT, HTTP, OPC-UA, Modbus, and more. This allows agricultural operations to consolidate data from diverse equipment vendors and external weather services into one unified platform.

Edge computing for remote reliability

For deployments in remote or low-connectivity areas, ThingsBoard Edge provides local processing and storage capabilities. With centralised edge device management, users can deploy rule chains, dashboards, and updates to field sites, even when operating in disconnected or intermittently connected environments.
