Smart Agriculture
Turn field conditions into precise irrigation and crop decisions
Combine soil, plant and weather data in iris360 to understand crop conditions, optimise irrigation and identify risks before they affect yield or quality.
Use water according to real crop needs
Base irrigation on current soil, crop and weather conditions.
Detect stress earlier
Identify adverse patterns before they reduce yield or quality.
Compare performance
Analyse fields, zones, varieties and seasons from one environment.
The challenge of precision agriculture
Feeding a growing population, sustainably
The global food system is expected to feed a population that is likely to grow from 7.6 billion people today to almost 10 billion by 2050 — which means using irrigation water more precisely and controlling gas emissions from livestock.
Main process
Observe → Understand → Predict → Act → Improve
An end-to-end continuous data pipeline connecting field sensors, microclimate models, and automated irrigation management.

What happens
Observe
Libelium capabilities
Output
Observe
Soil, plant and weather sensors continuously capture field conditions.
Understand
iris360 contextualises soil, crop and weather data together.
Predict
Models anticipate irrigation needs and early stress indicators.
Act
Irrigation decisions and alerts reach the teams who manage the field.
Improve
Compare zones, varieties and seasons to refine practices over time.
Why Libelium technology
Libelium One: cutting-edge IoT technology
Libelium One is designed to detect the most relevant agronomic parameters — soil moisture, conductivity, temperature and water potential — feeding a control system that adjusts irrigation automatically to the exact needs of each field.
- Soil and plant sensors: Cover the parameters that matter most to each crop and growth stage.
- Automated irrigation logic: Plants receive the exact amount of water they need, when they need it.
- One platform: Compare fields, zones, varieties and seasons from a single environment.
Physical layer
Libelium One Agriculture
A flexible monitoring node that brings soil, crop and weather data together. Libelium One Agriculture helps growers understand field conditions, use resources more efficiently and make better-informed decisions throughout the growing cycle.
PLUG & PLAY
Automatic Sensor Detection
Connect a compatible sensor and the node automatically identifies it and downloads the required configuration—no programming or manual driver installation needed.
4 SENSOR PORTS
Flexible Sensor Configuration
Four interchangeable ports can accommodate any compatible Libelium One probe, making it possible to combine multiple water parameters in a single monitoring point.
CELLULAR + CLOUD
Connected from the Field
Integrated cellular connectivity and a global SIM send measurements directly to the Libelium platform without requiring a local gateway or communications infrastructure.
IP66 / IP67 · SOLAR READY
Designed for Remote Deployments
A weather-resistant enclosure, ultra-low-power operation, rechargeable battery and optional solar panel support monitoring at reservoirs, rivers and other remote locations.
Libelium One
SOIL CONDITIONS
Understand the Root Zone
Monitor soil water content, temperature, electrical conductivity, water potential and oxygen to understand the conditions affecting root development.
WEATHER MONITORING
Field-Level Weather Data
Compatible weather stations measure parameters such as rainfall, wind, air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and solar radiation directly at crop level.
PLANT HEALTH
Detect Crop Stress Earlier
Leaf wetness, solar radiation and non-contact surface temperature sensors reveal conditions associated with disease risk, heat stress and crop development.
MULTILEVEL MONITORING
Measure Different Soil Depths
Multilevel probes provide moisture and conductivity readings across the soil profile, helping identify water movement and differences between root-zone layers.
SOFTWARE LAYER
iris360 — field intelligence for timely decisions
iris360 connects soil probes, weather and crop context to show where water is needed, support irrigation planning and highlight frost or fungal risk by block.

Crop Risk
Plot Status
Understand soil water status across your plots.
Bring soil moisture, refill points, weather and rainfall into a single farm view. Spot stressed plots, see which are being irrigated and prioritise those approaching their refill point.
Plot moisture status with weather, rainfall and irrigation indicators.
turns field measurements and forecasts into clearer irrigation plans and timely crop-risk alerts.
Already have your data?
Connect existing sensors directly to iris360
Deploying iris360 does not require replacing existing hardware or wireless sensors. Our open FIWARE NGSI-LD models, REST and MQTT ingestion pipelines connect directly to legacy devices, giving you unified operational dashboards from day one.
