Context: Between nature, constraints and crop losses

In a densely wooded rural area, a farmer faced a recurring problem: wild boars and deer were damaging his corn and sunflower crops every season.
Despite installing electric fences, the damage persisted. Manual monitoring was becoming too burdensome, especially during critical periods like flowering. A simple, autonomous, and effective solution was needed—one capable of signaling any failure without waiting for an on-site check.

Challenges: Real losses, inefficient monitoring

Before installing VoltSmartOne, the farmer faced several obstacles:

• Fences regularly damaged by vegetation or wind.

• No alerts when a malfunction occurred.

• Undetected damage leading to yield losses.

• Time-consuming daily trips for manual checks.

His goal was clear: reduce losses, automate monitoring, and gain peace of mind.

The Solution: VoltSmartOne, a 100% autonomous connected sensor

Recommended by an agricultural IoT solutions advisor, VoltSmartOne was quickly deployed on the farm.

This smart sensor enables:

• Real-time electric fence voltage measurement.

• Instant detection of any voltage drop, even brief ones.

• Daily "Keep Alive" messages to confirm proper operation.

• Automatic breakdown alerts via a LoRa network, even in dead zones (no-cellular areas).

Discreet, robust, and easy to install, VoltSmartOne integrated seamlessly into the farm’s ecosystem.

Results: Zero intrusions, zero stress

Less than 3 months after installation, the results speak for themselves:

• Zero missed intrusions thanks to real-time alerts.

• 90% fewer crop losses during the growing season.

• Intervention time cut by 4, featuring precise location tracking of faulty sections.

• Above all: a major gain in peace of mind for the farmer.

VoltSmartOne: Next-generation fence monitoring

VoltSmartOne is an ultra-low-power connected sensor specifically designed for agricultural farms.

Key features :

• Continuous monitoring of fence voltage.
• Immediate detection of any contact or voltage drop.
• Long-range LoRa communication (even in dead zones).
• Battery life exceeding 10 years.
• Regular health check messages ("Keep alive").

A solution aligned with responsible agriculture
