Field sensing / AXM Agro
A field
with senses.
At the surface. Around the roots. In the air.
Look beneath the surfaceCell and Beekeeper are in development. Explore the device and follow the path of a future signal.
01Two depths
Dry on top.
And at the roots?
A glance at the bed cannot tell you what is happening inside. Cell is designed to measure soil moisture at depths of 60 and 155 mm. The difference helps you decide what to investigate.
45% / 55% · illustrative readings
Change the conditions. The colours and numbers explain the principle; they are not farm measurements or a water-flow model.
02Above the ground
Weather changes.
Keep watching.
Air, rain and dew, snow depth. A solar panel charges the batteries; the electronics are designed to adapt the measurement interval to the available energy.
Day · the solar panel is lit
The design includes an air sensor under the panel, a rain plate and a downward-facing distance sensor. Battery life still needs field testing.
03Cells / Beekeeper
One Cell.
A whole network.
Readings travel from Cells through Beekeeper to Apiary. Irrigation schedules travel back: you set the parameters in the dashboard, and the gateway distributes them to the Cells.
This diagram shows the exchange of data. The number of Cells, spacing and coverage are determined for each field.
04Cell / irrigation control
Your settings.
Control in the field.
Cell is planned to include a connector for the irrigation control system. Once it receives a schedule from Beekeeper, it controls the different valves in its block locally.
Both valves closed · illustrative example
Switch between two illustrative valves. The connection diagram is conceptual; the connector, equipment and schedule execution still require field testing.

the whole field.
Maps, satellite layers and irrigation plans are already available in Apiary. This is where individual Cell readings will connect to parcels, crops and your team.
