Inmarsat Crop Storage and Logistics Solution


Inmarsat's crop storage and logistics solution is a bespoke managed service which allows growers and the extended supply chain to remotely monitor commodities in storage and make interventions to reduce losses and manage the supply chain. Utilising our geostationary satellite network and global presence on land, sea and air we are able to monitor your commodities in real-time, whether they are at the bottom of a ship, in a plastic silobag or modern storage facility. Using a variety of low-cost sensor technologies we tailor the solution to the nature of your storage infrastructure and supply chain.

The data is transferred via Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) to a software defined gateway, before it is sent via satellite or cellular connectivity to the customer's choice of cloud-based application.

Customised dashboards can be provided to give you complete visualisation of your crop and supply chain, with real-time alerts of storage conditions which could lead to a loss of quality.

Pricing model

Inmarsat have a range of pricing models depending on the solution required. Fully managed services can be provisioned on a monthly subscription fee or modular pricing models that are aligned to our customers' requirements. For simpler or smaller solutions, it may be more suitable to provide per unit pricing for hardware and connectivity. Inmarsat and our partner network will work with our customers to design the pricing model.

Installation process

Typically our solutions are installed by a network of local Distribution Partners (DP) of Inmarsat. Where required, Inmarsat will provide additional support and expertise to ensure that the solution meets the needs of the customer. Depending on the solution required, these can be installed by the farmer or their team. Inmarsat has a very exclusive network of partners throughout the world that have the required manpower to install the solutions.
