Technologies
01 / Case Study Overview
The Narrative
HydroSense deploys moisture and nutrient sensors across commercial crops, tracking soil states to optimize irrigation schedules.
02 / The Challenge
The Bottleneck
Ensuring long battery life (3+ years) for field sensors while transmitting data regularly to solar-powered base stations.
03 / The Solution
Our Strategic Response
We wrote the sensor firmware in MicroPython with deep-sleep modes, syncing sensor readings over MQTT to an InfluxDB database.
