Needed a stable and flexible IoT platform to scale their environmental and agricultural solutions.
Required a visual and efficient way to manage data flows and logic.
Faced limitations in integrating multiple data sources and presenting them through dashboards.

Simplified data flow management using the visual Rule Engine editor.
Built custom connectors and dashboards to aggregate and visualise diverse data sources.
Keners s.r.o. began using ThingsBoard in 2017 and later transitioned to the Professional Edition to meet their growing needs. The platform offered the flexibility and stability they required to develop solutions for agriculture and environmental monitoring. With the visual Rule Engine editor, their team was able to configure data processing flows efficiently. The multitenancy capabilities allowed them to manage different clients and use cases independently. ThingsBoard also enabled them to create custom data connectors, which made it possible to integrate multiple data sources and display them through intuitive dashboards. Throughout the process, Keners greatly appreciated the responsiveness and support of the ThingsBoard team, which they described as excellent.
ThingsBoard empowers agricultural businesses to transition from manual processes to data-driven, automated operations. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools that enable real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and smart automation across farms, greenhouses, storage facilities, and field equipment. One of the most powerful features of ThingsBoard is its interactive dashboards, which allow users to visualise live and historical data from soil sensors, weather stations, machinery, and other connected devices. These dashboards can be customised using an extensive widget library and built with dynamic layouts to create intuitive, responsive interfaces for different user roles and devices.
To support scalability and consistency, ThingsBoard includes templatization features that allow agricultural teams to easily duplicate dashboard configurations and device logic across multiple locations or projects, accelerating deployment across regions or clients.
The Rule Engine 2.0 plays a central role in enabling smart automation. It allows users to create low-code workflows that react to incoming data in real time. For example, irrigation systems can automatically activate based on soil moisture thresholds, or alerts can be triggered when storage temperatures exceed safe ranges. These workflows use a visual editor, making them accessible even to non-developers.
ThingsBoard also supports a wide variety of integrations, enabling seamless connection with third-party systems and services via MQTT, HTTP, OPC-UA, Modbus, and more. This allows agricultural operations to consolidate data from diverse equipment vendors and external weather services into one unified platform.
For deployments in remote or low-connectivity areas, ThingsBoard Edge provides local processing and storage capabilities. With centralised edge device management, users can deploy rule chains, dashboards, and updates to field sites, even when operating in disconnected or intermittently connected environments.
