In Israel, Sol Chip introduced the Sol Chip Comm, an autonomous wireless solar tag to power, control and wirelessly connect a wide variety of sensors to the Cloud. Based on Sol Chip’s innovative energy harvesting technology, the ultra-compact, maintenance-free, solar-powered wireless tags can feed real-time data from up to hundreds of field-level sensors into a precision agriculture application server. The application provides analysis to optimize water and fertilizer inputs and improve crop yields.
The SCC is designed to operate continuously for more than ten years with no maintenance requirements and its small size makes it easy to install and move around any agriculture-related environment.
Sol Chip is offering an evaluation kit including two SCC solar tags, two sensors, a wireless gateway, all necessary accessories, web server access and support. The components of the kit are pre-integrated, enabling it to be rapidly deployed for testing in an open field or greenhouse.
