The agriculture of the future is inseparable from numerous innovations and improvements - from crop and livestock monitoring to the optimization of irrigation and harvesting. Recently, we spoke with Mr. Christophe Laignel, President of L’Enrouleur Français, about his field experience and innovative projects designed to address the challenges of managing agricultural fencing systems.

Context & Field Challenges

In rural areas bordering forests, wild animal intrusions (such as wild boars and deer) damaging crops like corn and sunflowers represent a frequent seasonal risk.

Although farms have installed electric fence systems, traditional monitoring methods still reveal significant limitations:

• Natural impacts: Fences are subject to voltage drops or damage caused by storms and overgrown vegetation.

• Lack of incident control: The absence of an instant alert mechanism in the event of a power failure leads to severe yield losses.

• High resource costs: Staff must perform daily manual checks - an extremely time-consuming process that lacks precision.

The central goal is not only to prevent crop damage, but to automate the monitoring process so farmers can operate with complete peace of mind.

Solution: VoltSmartOne - 100% Automatic Monitoring Sensor

To completely overcome the bottlenecks mentioned above, VoltSmartOne - a smart wireless sensor solution - was deployed directly onto the farm’s fencing system.

The device features remarkable technical specifications:

• 24/7 voltage measurement: Instant detection of any voltage drop or external impact on the fence line.

• LoRa network connectivity: Automatic transmission of alert signals, even in "dead zones" (areas without cellular coverage).

• Keep-Alive mechanism: Periodic sending of daily operational status reports, ensuring the device operates reliably at all times.

• Exceptional durability: Industrial-grade design with a battery lifespan exceeding 10 years.

Concrete Results

After less than 3 months of operation:

• Zero missed intrusions thanks to the real-time alert system.

• 90% reduction in crop damage throughout the growing season.

• Intervention time divided by 4, with precise pinpointing of faulty fence locations.

• Labor optimization, offering total peace of mind to farm operators.

Toward Sustainable & Smart Agriculture

Combining the field expertise of leaders like Mr. Christophe Laignel with the advanced sensor technology of VoltSmartOne sets a new standard for farm protection processes: more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable.
