In this article we present a sensor-based data acquisition technology (IoT) and the benefits of its use in precision, especially in dairy, farming, to measure and monitor the climate of the barn. The article describes the transmission technologies used in data collection, detailing the long range and low power LoRa network, which is well suited for use in agriculture. Site-specific data collection can be part of optimizing the milk yield. Based on practical experiences, we present the capabilities of the technology developed, including simple upgradeability and more accurate forecasting over time as data accumulates. The continuous development of technology based on data collection and analysis, which is gradually spreading in Hungary, can greatly contribute to the improvement of the quality and efficiency of farming.
