Pain Points
Manual soil checks limited visibility into moisture, salinity and changing field conditions.
Limited Continuous Soil Monitoring
Periodic readings missed rapid soil changes after irrigation, rainfall and changing weather conditions.
Manual and Infrequent Sampling
Frequent field visits increased effort, delayed decisions and created gaps in recorded soil data.
Limited IoT and Cloud Access
Existing methods lacked long-range connectivity, remote dashboards and centralized soil data access.
Our Offerings
Deployed LoRaWAN® soil sensors for continuous monitoring, remote access and data-driven irrigation.
Flexible Dual-Probe Deployment
SE02-LB sensors were installed at selected depths to compare soil conditions across plots and root zones.
Moisture, Temperature and EC Tracking
The system monitored soil moisture, temperature and EC to assess water availability and salinity.
Long-Range LoRaWAN® Connectivity
Sensor readings were sent over LoRaWAN® to gateways without wired links or individual cellular connections.
Cloud Dashboard and Alerts
Live and historical data was displayed on cloud dashboards with alerts for abnormal moisture or EC levels.
Outcomes
Smarter Irrigation Decisions
Continuous moisture data helped users schedule irrigation based on actual field conditions.
Early Salinity Detection
Ongoing EC monitoring revealed rising salinity early, supporting timely corrective action.
Reduced Manual Field Visits
Automated data transmission reduced routine sampling, field effort and manual recording errors.
Improved Research and Learning
Students and researchers gained reliable field data for practical soil science and IoT studies.
