Soiltech Beacon Environmental Sensor – Soil Moisture, Canopy Temp & Storage Monitoring

Description

Soiltech Beacon | Soil, Canopy, & Storage Monitoring Sensor

The Beacon is a rugged, wireless device that follows the crop through every stage of its development, from planting through growth and harvesting to transportation and storage.

The Beacon arrives pre-calibrated, fully charged, and assigned to the user account. These multipurpose devices can be buried for below-ground data collection, added to a storage pile to track temperature and humidity, or placed in the canopy as a weather station. The Beacon collects real-time data and synchronizes it with the Signal platform for further analysis and decision-making. Signal platform requires subscription that can be bundled or purchased separately year-to-year.

The Beacon sensor can be planted, harvested, and transported with crops, delivering data throughout the entire product lifecycle via Global Cellular and Local Bluetooth Low Energy channels. Beacon sensors include, Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature, Internal Humidity, Ambient Temperature, Ambient Humidity, GPS Location, Device Orientation, Impact/Bruise Detection, and Synchronized Clock.

Beacon Features

• Data Points Tracked: Moisture | Temperature | Electrical Conductivity | Humidity | Crop Damage | Location | Gases | Rain | Wind
• Year-over-year reporting and analysis
• Ready to install right out of the box
• Easy charging for reuse (The Beacon contains an internal rechargeable LiPo battery that will last more than a year on a full charge and a standard reporting frequency (15 minute samples, reported every 4 hours). There are internal debug LEDS and a buzzer used for the user interface.)
• Ability to calibrate data

Standard Beacon functionality can be expanded by swapping out the end-caps containing additional sensors and features.

Optional Additional Configurations (Sold Separately)

• Field Antenna (Recommended for areas with poor cell service or if the device will be buried more than 1ft under the soil.)
