5 WAYS THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY CAN BENEFIT BY ADOPTING IOT TECH

The cannabis industry is progressing faster than cultivators and manufacturers can handle. With an expansive number of cannabis enthusiasts, there is no doubt that this industry is one of the most sought-after businesses by retailers, suppliers, or online dispensaries.
And along with this momentum, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology is also growing in stride to keep up with the trends. IoT tech is the way mundane objects are integrated with internet connectivity that enables communication or monitoring of information.
For instance, ordinary watches used to display the time in the past. Due to the Internet of Things, it’s now used as a heart rate monitor, calorie counter, steps counter, VO2 measuring device, and sleep monitor. Cleaning your house in the past would require a broom, a dustpan, and a vacuum. Now, we have the Roomba Robot Vacuum.
It’s no surprise how the agriculture industry, especially in the cannabis field, will benefit the IoT tech in cultivating and selling cannabis. From the seedling phase, the vegetative phase to the flowering phase and extraction phase, the IoT tech can help expedite methods and increase production through accurate monitoring and more.
HERE ARE FIVE WAYS ON HOW THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY CAN BENEFIT THE IOT TECHNOLOGY.
1) Increases Yields Through Digital Monitoring Devices
The conventional cultivation of cannabis outdoors would require a growth medium such as soil as well as natural light, water, the right temperature and humidity, and adequate nutrients that are absorbed through the roots.
However, mass production of cannabis would entail a slow outdoor growing. Monitoring could take a lot of people to scout, check, and nurture the cannabis plants. And because you solely depend on natural warmth and light, some of the cannabis or hemp plants can sometimes be a hit or miss in terms of maximum yields.
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil. It optimizes mineral nutrient solutions. One type of hydroponics method is called Deep Water Culture Hydroponics where the plants’ roots are placed in a tub of water. This method enables the plants to grow faster.
In hydroponics, it’s also imperative that the right pH level is also measured which is usually between 5.8 and 6.5. The appropriate temperature for cannabis during the day is 24 to 30 degrees Celsius (75 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit). Temperatures that go above 31 degrees Celsius and below 15.5 degrees Fahrenheit will hinder growth and diminish THC content. In indoor growing, the cannabis plant should also have 16 to 24 hours of light and zero to eight hours of darkness during the germination phase until the flowering stage.
This is where the IoT tech comes into play. With the ability to digitally control the pH level, temperature, light, and humidity, plants can grow seamlessly.
2) Traceability Through Near Field Communication Tag
Near Field Communication Tag (NFC Tag) is a set of small microchips that stores information about the products or objects. It is a subset of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). RFID can identify, locate, and track animals, objects, and even humans through radio frequency signals.
