remote sensors
DURABLE AND RELIABLE
ALTERNATIVE TO BATTERIES
Plant-e's sensor offer is divided into the SensorStick and the PowerStick. The SensorStick is an all-integrated solution comprising a plant-powersource, a temperature sensor, a waterlevel sensor, and a satellite transmission system.
The SensorStick directly harvests its own electricity from plant roots and soil microorganisms in peatlands. This means that, unlike traditional battery-powered solutions, the SensorStick offers a maintenance-free, innovative, and eco-friendly alternative that minimizes costs and environmental impact. Designed for quick and easy installation in peatlands, the SensorStick leverages patented technology to deliver high-definition measurements remotely, reducing the need for on-site interventions and ensuring sustainable monitoring of peatlands.
The PowerStick is Plant-e's versatile powering device. We adapt the PowerStick for various environmental sensors in remote locations. Our first IoT solutions – such as groundwater, soil moisture and phenology sensors – have been successfully applied in pilots and are ready for the next phase.

About Plant-e
Sensor stick
Water level & temperature
Protecting peatlands requires precise, real-time data, and Plant -e's SensorStick delivers just that. Our autonomous sensors monitor water levels and temperatures remotely, even in the most challenging locations. With satellite connectivity, data is transmitted seamlessly, eliminating the need for on-site visits. This efficient, cost-effective solution supports peatland restoration, helping to reduce carbon emissions and preserve biodiversity.
