IoT-Enabled Fence Monitoring for Agricultural Land
Project Overview
AgriLand Farms Pvt. Ltd., a large-scale farm in Andhra Pradesh, was struggling with frequent intrusions by stray animals and equipment theft, especially during the night. The client needed a modern, automated perimeter protection system that would:
- Deter intrusions effectively
- Operate without internet or stable grid power
- Send real-time alerts remotely to the owner's mobile
- Be low-maintenance and sustainable in a rural setting
Rennologic designed and deployed a smart fencing solution using IoT-integrated Power Fence Energizers powered by solar energy, coupled with GSM-based communication for real-time alerting.
AgriLand Farms faced persistent issues related to perimeter security and resource theft. The key challenges included:
-
Frequent intrusion by stray animals, causing crop damage
-
Night-time theft of motors, drip irrigation equipment, and produce
-
No real-time visibility or alerts for breaches or faults
-
Manual fence inspections were time-consuming and inconsistent
-
The farm’s remote location lacked reliable power and connectivity
The client needed a low-maintenance, intelligent solution that could work in rural terrain and offer real-time monitoring and alerts from anywhere.
Rennologic proposed and implemented a custom-built IoT-enabled power fencing system to transform the farm’s perimeter into an intelligent security network.
Our solution included:
- Smart Energizer with built-in voltage monitoring and tamper detection
- GSM-based alert system for remote areas with no internet
- Solar-powered control unit with battery backup
- Mobile-based remote control and diagnostics
Our team visited the site to assess ground conditions, vegetation interference, existing fencing layout, and GSM signal strength. A zone-based installation plan was created for optimal security coverage.
Key Features Implemented:
Smart Power Fence Energizer
- Delivers safe, high-voltage pulses to deter intruders
- Tamper-proof design with wire-cut detection
- Supports zone-wise fencing to isolate problem areas
IoT Monitoring with GSM
- Real-time alerts via SMS for intrusion or voltage drop
- Optional voice call alerts on intrusion events
- Simple command-based SMS control for ON/OFF/reset
Power Management
- Solar charging with a deep-cycle battery for 24/7 uptime
- Over-voltage and surge protection for lightning-prone zones
- Low-power design optimized for rural environments
Remote Access & Diagnostics
- Mobile interface for checking system health
- SMS logs to track system activity
- Alert configuration options (zone, voltage, breach attempts)
This case study demonstrates how Rennologic’s embedded and IoT expertise transformed traditional farm fencing into a smart, remotely manageable, and cost-effective solution.
With minimal infrastructure and a farmer-friendly design, we enabled AgriLand Farms to secure its 40-acre boundary against both theft and intrusion—setting a new benchmark for tech-driven agriculture security in rural India.
