Autonomous sensors for nature, agriculture and horticulture
SensorSticks based on plant power
Groundwater level
The Water Level SensorStick is a fully integrated, self-sufficient monitoring solution. It combines a power source based on living plants, accurate sensors, and data transmission via satellite. The SensorStick generates electricity directly from plant roots and soil microorganisms in wetlands. This innovative technology eliminates the need for traditional batteries and offers a low-maintenance, environmentally friendly alternative that reduces both operational costs and ecological impact. In this way, we create a system that can collect and transmit data anytime, anywhere, without having to replace batteries and without requiring a local data network.
Soil moisture
Healthy grass, healthy vegetation, and strong tree growth depend on careful water management. The Soil Moisture SensorStick provides continuous, real-time soil moisture data for golf courses, nurseries, urban green spaces, and agriculture, enabling smarter and more efficient irrigation. It combines high-quality soil moisture sensors with a very long lifespan and a power source that never runs out. The SensorStick generates electricity directly from plant roots and soil microorganisms in wetlands. This innovative technology eliminates the need for traditional batteries and offers a low-maintenance, eco-friendly alternative that reduces both operating costs and ecological impact. This ensures reliable, maintenance-free operation all year round.
Water quality
The water quality SensorStick is suitable for installing a fine-meshed monitoring network around greenhouses and agricultural plots. The SensorStick measures EC and temperature, thereby acting as an early detection system for changes in water quality that can be acted upon immediately. By applying it in the ditches and waterways surrounding the plot or greenhouse, it can be demonstrated that the greenhouse or plot is emission-free, and rapid intervention is possible should a leak or runoff occur. This helps avoid fines and improves water quality. The SensorStick generates electricity directly from plant roots and soil microorganisms in wetlands. This innovative technology eliminates the need for traditional batteries and offers a low-maintenance, environmentally friendly alternative that reduces both operational costs and ecological impact.
