Urban Farm IoT Sensor Metrics

This dataset provides granular, real-time IoT sensor readings from urban farms, including environmental metrics, sensor health, and compliance flags. It enables agtech startups and city planners to monitor resource usage, optimize crop yields, and ensure sustainability compliance at scale. The detailed schema supports operational analytics, regulatory reporting, and smart farm management.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 120 rows came out of a blueprint — 18 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each row represents a unique sensor reading from a specific device.
  • Sensor data includes temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and light intensity.
  • Readings are time-stamped and associated with farm zone identifiers.
  • Flag readings outside optimal ranges for alerting and intervention.
  • Sensors must be registered and calibrated as per farm compliance standards.
