Unit enables scalable, sustainable, high-fidelity data collection across even remote commercial farmland
BeeHero, the global leader of data-driven precision pollination, has announced the release of HeroLink, the solar-powered evolution of its critical gateway infrastructure which aggregates and transmits the group’s in-field and in-hive sensor data to the cloud for AI-powered analysis.
Currently scheduled for its first deployment across orchards during Australia’s almond pollination season in July, HeroLink offers growers and beekeepers ”a more sustainable, longer-lasting solution for high-fidelity data collection across expansive orchards and transmission to the cloud—setting the stage for the next generation of scalable precision pollination”.
HeroLink is described as ”a robust, adaptable solution” with the ability to deliver reliable, uninterrupted data collection even in remote, low-connectivity regions.
”Integrating an industry-first, multi-frequency internal cellular antenna capable of transmitting data even in areas with no reception, HeroLink enables the smooth function of the company’s precision pollination technology in all farming environments,” the company explained.
”This groundbreaking innovation places BeeHero ahead of many larger players still striving for similar capabilities.”
The HeroLink gateway unit aggregates data from a number of the company’s proprietary in-field and in-hive IoT sensors, including key environmental information such as temperature, humidity, sound levels, and vibration.
Each HeroLink unit then transmits this data set to the cloud in real time using an onboard cellular modem, enabling BeeHero’s AI-driven analytics platform to generate early detection and actionable insights for growers and beekeepers.
According to BeeHero, the new HeroLink features a solar-powered, rechargeable architecture and the upgraded cellular antenna, ”dramatically improving” connectivity and energy independence, extending the unit’s lifecycle, reducing maintenance, and enabling large-scale, year-round deployment including in areas where traditional infrastructure falls short.
“HeroLink isn’t just an upgrade – it’s a critical leap forward in building a resilient sensing network that meets the demands of modern agriculture,” said Omer Davidi, co-founder and CEO of BeeHero.
“By combining solar power with vastly improved connectivity, we are eliminating barriers to scale and bringing data transparency to even the most remote corners of commercial farmland.
”In doing so, we are empowering growers and beekeepers to monitor more hives, more often, with fewer infrastructure limitations – continuing to make precision pollination more scalable and sustainable,” he added.
