1.  Operation Description 
Rain Bird® ClimateMinder™ is a wireless climate monitoring and control system for agriculture. It uses 
mobile network technology to transmit key data from the field directly to growers’ mobile phones, 
computers and control systems. 
Rain Bird® ClimateMinder™ helps growers optimize growth patterns, increase their productivity and 
product quality, shorten time-to-market, save water, reduce cost for nutrients and pest control, and 
lower operating costs. 
Rain Bird® ClimateMinder™ puts growers in control of the environmental and climate variables that 
affect the ultimate success of their production. By monitoring and controlling to measured conditions, 
Rain Bird® ClimateMinder™ quickly alerts growers to conditions that threaten their crops, such as 
extremes in temperature or moisture, and the need to take corrective action. 
2.  How it works? 
ClimateMinder's battery/solar operated wireless sensors collect real-time soil and environmental data 
and transmit this data to back-end servers through a cellular network. Users receive text messages or 
email alerts on their cell phone and/or use the web site to browse measurements and control alert and 
control conditions.
