In farming, the weather determines almost every decision. From planting to harvesting, irrigation to plant protection, knowing what’s coming can mean the difference between a bumper crop and a bad season. Pessl Instruments, a global leader in smart agriculture, and 1NCE show how it’s done. With thousands of weather stations and sensors deployed worldwide, we help farmers to track, manage, and optimize their operations remotely.
Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Weiz, Austria, Pessl Instruments GmbH has grown into a global player in smart agriculture. With subsidiaries and partners in more than 80 countries, the company provides hardware and software solutions for weather monitoring, irrigation management, crop disease forecasting, and precision farming.
Pessl Instruments, through its METOS weather stations and FieldClimate platform, delivers hyper-local weather monitoring and forecasts. By combining real-time field data with advanced models, farmers get the insights they need to plan the week ahead, protect crops, and use resources more efficiently.
To deliver accurate, site-specific forecasts, Pessl Instruments relies on thousands of weather stations deployed in fields worldwide. These stations continuously monitor rainfall, temperature, soil moisture, and other key conditions. But scaling this network came with challenges:
Global deployment: Devices needed to work seamlessly in fields from everywhere
Predictable costs: Traditional cellular models made budgeting difficult, especially across diverse regions.
Security requirements: Weather and farm management data had to be transmitted securely.
Device lifecycle management: With thousands of devices deployed for years, remote monitoring and updates were needed.
Pessl Instruments chose 1NCE to power its global METOS network, strengthening their mission to help farmers make the right decision at the right time.
Cost Efficiency: Pessl Instruments significantly reduces operational expenses using 1NCE Lifetime Subscription. Farmers avoid unexpected roaming fees or high data costs, making IoT deployments more affordable and scalable.
Smarter device management: With 1NCE Software, Pessl Instruments can monitor all stations remotely and solve issues without sending technicians into the field.
Secure and worry-free: Built-in VPN keeps weather and soil data safe, so farmers can trust their insights.
Longer-lasting devices: Energy-saving features help sensors run efficiently in remote locations, even on limited power.
Actionable insights, every day: Reliable connectivity ensures data flows smoothly into FieldClimate, powering real-time advice for irrigation, frost protection, and disease risk - helping farmers prevent the issues rather than solve them.
This all consolidates Pessl Instruments as a smart farming powerhouse, helping customers make more informed irrigation and fertilizer decisions.
"Our farmers depend on us for a clear picture of their fields, which means our weather stations have to work everywhere, all the time. With 1NCE, we know we will give them the precise insights they need to succeed."
