Are there any data loggers that support edge connectivity for multi-site vertical farm operations?

Yes. For multi-site vertical farm operations, you can find data loggers that support edge connectivity, usually through combinations of:

• Ethernet / Wi‑Fi / cellular
• Modbus, BACnet, OPC UA, MQTT
• Cloud gateways or local edge gateways
• Remote access / centralized fleet management

A few product families commonly used in industrial or controlled-environment agriculture include:

• HOBO data loggers with wireless/IoT gateway options
• MadgeTech loggers with networked base stations or cloud connectivity
• Onset systems for environmental monitoring
• OMEGA / Elpro / Dickson industrial loggers with network integration
• Advantech, Moxa, and Red Lion edge devices that bridge sensors and loggers to plant-wide networks
• Campbell Scientific systems for larger, highly customizable deployments

For a multi-site vertical farm, the key features to look for are:

1. Local storage plus edge forwarding
   So data keeps recording even if internet drops.

2. Centralized dashboard
   One place to monitor all sites.

3. Alarming and automation support
   For temperature, humidity, CO₂, pH, EC, lighting, and nutrient conditions.

4. Open protocols
   MQTT/Modbus/API support makes integration with farm management software easier.

5. Industrial reliability
   Especially if the environment is humid, nutrient-rich, or washdown-prone.
