This document has been prepared for Australian horticultural operations that are seeking an overview of emerging smart farming sensors and software.

Information is presented briefly to provide an overview of common sensors and technology used by adopters of smart farming techniques. Some of the most useful and readily available sensors are discussed in this guide, with clear instructions on how to select, install, and maintain sensors, and how to interpret measured data. Links to further reading and instructional videos are available throughout the document.

This document is based on experiences with the Hitachi Vantara Control Tower, which has been developed in consultation with two industry leading pilot farms and a production nursery. Some technologies are unique to the Control Tower, however many of the concepts are applicable to other smart farming dashboards.
