About this product

LoRAIN - The most essential sensor set for your fields

 

LoRAIN is a weather station that operates on the LoRaWAN® network. LoRAIN device measures rainfall, air and soil temperature, relative humidity, leaf wetness, and soil moisture.

 

Lorain Features

 

Key benefits

  • By the use of crop evapotranspiration better plan the irrigation, save water, money and time.
  • Helps prevent animal health problems that occur in houses with nonstandard climatic conditions.
  • Plant disease model calculation to improve plant protection and prevent crop losses.
  • Work planning on farms – it saves time and makes farming even more efficient.

 

Compact & simple precision farming equipment on a budget

Every farmer knows how much rainfall, temperature and relative humidity can vary from field to field. For measuring this data, Pessl Instruments is introducing LoRAIN.

Make use of modern communication infrastructures for work planning and disease management decisions in your fields. LoRaWAN® communication enables cost effective and timely monitoring of rainfall, actual temperature and relative humidity on your fields.

With this data we can offer spray weather, workforce planning, models for disease risks and infection dates for many crops, data can be used to produce a highly reliable localized weather forecast with MOS technology and virtual sensors for wind speed and global radiation are added to complete the information needed for intelligent and proactive farming.

This is what you can do

  • Plan the work week based on a localized weather forecast for your operations site.
  • Plan your work day based on the actual rain and temperature data and the daily weather forecast for your field.
  • Plan your spray program based on disease models and prediction and check the quality of spray work online.
  • Plan your irrigation based on ET-crop and predicted plant water use.
  • Bring data directly into your management software and Operations Center via automatic interface.

 

LoRAIN connectivity

LoRAIN is designed to be easily connected to an existing LoRaWAN® network. For remote situations without the availability of a commercially operated LoRaWAN® network Pessl Instruments partners will support you with a farm based LoRaWAN® network which enables you to install all available LoRa® sensors – from Pessl Instruments or other vendors.

LoRAIN values

WORK PLANNING TOOLS BASED ON WEATHER FORECAST

The spray window helps identify suitable periods for the application of crop protection measures by showing suitable (green), less suitable (yellow) and unsuitable (red) periods for application. The conditions are calculated from wind, precipitation, air temperature, relative humidity and delta T.

WORK PLANNING TOOLS BASED ON WEATHER FORECAST

This simple risk model is used to evaluate if C. beticola could be expected at all. If the incubation period could be fulfilled within the last 2 weeks, a value of 1 of incubation is shown, if not, the value is 0. Besides this model also a model for sporulation is shown. For sporulation, optimal conditions of 48 hours of high relative humidity with an average temperature of 30°C are used. For the interpretation of data: The risk is 0 if the incubation period has been longer than 2 weeks. If this is not the case, the model output will be 1. If there is a sporulation model result of higher than 10% calculated within the last week, the risk will be shown to be 2 and if the sporulation result is higher than 30% the risk output will be 3
