Benefits of monitoring Soil Moisture

Stop over irrigating
Prevent over irrigation and the diseases it causes. Reduce fertilizer and pumping energy waste.
Know when to start
Track rainfall and the moisture it leaves in the soil – don’t needlessly irrigate too early.
Keeping up with ET
Make sure deep irrigation is maintained throughout the warmest part of the season.
Optimize Yield
Maintain water reach down to deep roots prior to hull split and harvest.
Maintain your soil
Observe infiltration rate – detect soil blockage from hardpan or chemical build-up.
Compliance monitoring
Meet your compliance obligations and demonstrate your environmental credentials.

Understand how to make your soil work for you

Read our article on Soil Moisture Terminology to understand the following statement:

“For good crop growth, maintaining water above stress point will maximize vegetative growth. Setting a refill point above stress point will ensure there is always readily available water for the crop. Replacing irrigation with no more water than a soil’s field capacity will minimize drainage, allowing irrigators to maximize fertiliser applications. “

Reliable Hardware

4G IoT

Designed for harsh environments. Wildeye® connects to global IoT cellular networks for maximum global coverage. There is no need for complicated radio infrastructure on your farm. Scale from one to thousands of sensors with minimal investment.

Wildeye® works out of the box with plug and play connectors to connect infield sensors to the cloud and single button activation to streamline installation and maintenance and reduce costs.

Your Wildeye® can be supplied with either ultra long life internal batteries or a rechargeable version from solar panels, battery packs or mains power.

Compatible with most major suppliers of meters & sensors

Wildeye® can supply a full system, including the right meter or sensor for the job. If you’ve already invested in meters & sensors then you don’t need to start from scratch. You can often upgrade with Wildeye® if your equipment is from a reputable manufacturer. Contact us to discuss if we can retrofit to your existing investment.

Works where you want it

No need to research radio technologies, install gateways and repeaters or maintain your own computer servers. Every wildeye® device runs on the global IoT standard of CatM1 (or LTE-M) for maximum coverage and communicates directly with the cloud. It’s ready to go. No need to provide a SIM card.

Wildeye® automatically updates device firmware and controls software upgrades so you can concentrate on running your own business.

Indicative coverage of CatM1 on Telstra Australia. May require high gain antenna. Can also operate on Vodafone/Optus if required. Refer to network operator for detailed coverage maps.
Indicative 4G (CatM1 / LTE-M) coverage of Verizon in North America. May require high gain antenna. Can also operate on AT&T & T-mobile if required.
