Agriculture
Remote monitoring for agricultural equipment and operations
Farmers manage multiple responsibilities: operating heavy machinery, maintaining livestock, and cultivating crops. IoT-based solutions enable better decision-making, increase yields, and promote sustainable practices while reducing equipment downtime, ensuring livestock safety, and optimizing crop management.
Precision ag is scaling fast
Precision agriculture is one of the fastest-growing IoT categories, driven by real-time field, equipment, and livestock-environment monitoring rather than guesswork. The same condition monitoring approach that catches equipment strain and moisture extremes early is what's fueling that growth.
With Exosite
- 1Connect
Add sensors in the field or barn
Low-power wireless sensors, or a connection to equipment you already run.
- 2Digitize
Stream data into ExoSense
Soil, equipment, and environmental data become live signals.
- 3Detect
Flag risk conditions
Rules catch moisture extremes, equipment strain, and changes in livestock environments.
- 4Act
Adjust remotely
Farmers and technicians get the alert and can adjust remotely to protect yield and equipment.
Key features
Location views
Barn equipment and field sensors on map-based fleet views, with live condition states.
Real-time dashboards
Live data and historical trends on dashboards for computers, tablets, and phones.
Flexible device types
Low-power wireless sensors, cellular modules in tractors, and barn automation gateways on one platform.
Barns and livestock, monitored too
Humidity, ventilation, and equipment health inside every barn stay visible right alongside the fields. The same condition monitoring that protects crops keeps livestock environments safe and barn equipment running.
From the cab to the cloud
Farmers and technicians can check dashboards from a tractor cab, a truck, or the kitchen table, with the same real-time data and alerts on any device.
"Exosite's IoT and Condition Monitoring platform allows Ag-focused product and service companies to deliver smart, robust solutions that 'just work.'"
Value delivery
Companies can leverage off-the-shelf cloud-based condition monitoring applications to provide farmers with data that reduces equipment downtime, enables remote barn management adjustments, minimizes waste, and supports better decision-making.

Where your program can go next
Most teams start with a few fields, a barn, or one equipment line. The same connected equipment then supports predictive maintenance on irrigation and barn systems, service offerings for the growers you support, and connected products if you build ag equipment.
