lert’s TM-CELL500 solar powered, cellular sensing and alerting system combines Temperature@
lert’s latest generation cellular engine with a host of agricultural related sensors and control devices. The heart of the system is the Cellular Sensor Cloud, a secure server based service employing a web interface where users can log on from any computer to see the conditions of their crops. By using Temperature@
lert’s industrial smart sensors, agriculturalists now have the ability to use technology to effectively monitor and ensure proper crop growth. If an action is taken, such as turning on sprinklers to prevent frost from damaging crops for example, customers will receive email, SMS text message and phone calls letting them know what is going on.
Harry Schechter, President and CEO of Temperature@
lert. “Historically, our Cellular Edition has found its way into the agricultural markets through our traditional channels. We have expand deeper and faster as a bootstrapped startup with the aid of vendors in this historically underserved market. And we’re very excited about the opportunity to help save our country’s valuable fresh water resources.”
