Smart Stake Agricultural Data Collection System ID: 2025-005
A novel agricultural data collection system utilizing computed tomography and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for enhanced crop and soil management.
Technology Overview
This groundbreaking technology leverages distributed sensors and directional antennas on moving receivers to securely collect vital agricultural data. By employing Smart Stakes equipped with BLE transmitters placed throughout fields, the system gathers crucial soil and crop data. These transmitters communicate with rotating receivers mounted on irrigation booms to map vegetation properties like water content and biomass through RF signal propagation analysis. This method surpasses traditional aerial imagery by providing volumetric data and improved security against signal spoofing, offering a comprehensive view of both above-ground and below-ground conditions using existing agricultural infrastructure.
Key Advantages
- Provides volumetric data for a comprehensive analysis of soil and crop health
- Enhances security against signal spoofing, ensuring data integrity
- Utilizes existing agricultural infrastructure for data collection, reducing additional costs
- Offers detailed spatial data to inform precise resource management decisions
- Capable of gathering both above-ground and below-ground data for a holistic agricultural assessment
Problems Addressed
- Improves agricultural efficiency by enabling precise monitoring and management of crops and soil
- Reduces the need for expensive and less secure aerial imagery techniques
- Addresses the challenge of collecting below-ground data, which is often overlooked in traditional agricultural data collection methods
Market Applications
- Agricultural monitoring and management systems
- Precision agriculture technologies
- Resource management and optimization tools for farming
- Environmental and agricultural research
