The LI-180 is a user-friendly, handheld spectrometer from LI-COR Biosciences. Featuring a Wi-Fi enabled SD storage card, the LI-180 allows for remote control over the full range of measurement functions with the LI-180 Plus mobile app. Use the app with your iOS device to quickly and intuitively capture basic measurements like PAR (PPFD), basic variables, and spectrum graphs. With the LI-180 Plus mobile app, you can also configure continuous or timed captures, create custom views to see your variables of interest, and transfer data files from the spectrometer via email.

Flora Cloud is a tool that gives farmers the information they need to make data-driven decisions about their crops. The system uses battery-powered sensors to collect environmental data about your soil, air, and water. This data is wirelessly transmitted over a nationwide LoRaWAN network to the cloud, where it is stored and accessible to you through a farmer-friendly interface on your internet-connected phone, tablet, and PC. Sensor setup is simple and can be done in just a few minutes using your phone or computer. It’s as simple as Click, Plant, Press… Once the system is set up, you can start collecting data right away.
