Home > Optical Membrane Soil Moisture Sensor > Tech Demo Version

This sensor is being offered as a technology demonstrator for several intentional and strategic reasons. As a newly invented sensing method, it requires long‑term stability testing before definitive claims can be made about multi‑year performance in diverse field conditions. The demonstrator format allows early adopters to evaluate the core optical membrane moisture‑sensing technology while this extended testing is underway.

The design follows a minimum viable product philosophy. The initial release focuses on delivering the sensing technology itself in a form that integrates cleanly into existing data‑acquisition systems. As such, it does not include auxiliary features such as Wi‑Fi connectivity, battery power, onboard displays, or other system‑level components that belong to a broader precision‑agriculture platform. By keeping the design focused and streamlined, the demonstrator provides the most direct, unfiltered access to the sensing capability without additional layers of hardware or software.

The goal of the technology demonstrator is simple: to showcase the performance and advantages of optical membrane moisture sensing in its purest form. This approach provides immediate practical value while laying the groundwork for future, fully integrated versions.
