Sentek Technologies Drill & Drop Probe

Sentek Technologies’ latest range of sensing solutions records soil water and salinity data at multiple depths in the soil profile through the use of capacitance technology and then uses the internet and satellites to transmit the data in real time from almost anywhere in the world.

The company’s Drill & Drop Probe can reduce sensor installation time from 40 down to 5 min, avoiding the need to dig large holes to bury technology underground. The user simply drills a hole and pushes the probe in. This allows the user to access the data collected by this probe from anywhere in the world in real time.

In addition to the probe, Sentek also supplies software that enables the user to look at the data and use it to make informed decisions. Even users who have no internet coverage can access real-time data via satellites.
