Sopa Solution

AgTech / Commercial Horticulture / Industrial IoT

Commercial nurseries often rely on manual watering, leading to inconsistent crop quality and significant water waste. To automate this process, hardware must maintain high-precision measurement while withstanding constant exposure to UV radiation, corrosive fertilizers, pesticides, and frequent submersion.

We developed an autonomous, high-capacity IoT scale system that calculates plant moisture levels through real-time mass measurement. The system communicates wirelessly with central pump stations to trigger irrigation based on empirical data.

Our engineering focus prioritized three areas:

  • Environmental Resilience: Utilizing UV-stabilized polymers and chemical-resistant seals to prevent degradation from agricultural chemicals.
  • Connectivity: Implementing low-power communication (LoRa, NB-IoT, or Mesh) to ensure reliable data transmission across large-scale facilities.
  • Power Optimization: Writing custom firmware to extend battery life across multiple growing seasons.
  • Load Capacity: Up to 30kg.
  • Ingress Protection: IP68 (Rated for full submersion).
  • Communication Protocols: LoRa, NB-IoT, or Mesh networking.
  • Battery Life: Multi-season autonomy via smart power management.
  • Compatibility: Modular mounting for standard nursery bench and rail systems.

The transition from manual estimation to data-driven automation allows for precise resource management. The final product reduces water consumption and improves crop yield consistency in harsh, isolated environments.
