Web-Based Data Management and Portable Blue Tooth Devices

Bluetooth device and mobile app (for use with portable TDR meter)

Our TDR BlueTooth Device and Mobile App works with new or existing FieldScout TDR soil moisture meters to enable data to be sent directly and wirelessly via Bluetooth to your smart phone or tablet instantly, eliminating the need for a computer, cables and GPS accessories. Optionally, readings may be time and date stamped and geo-referenced with smart phone GPS information and sent automatically to our web-based utility for centralized documentation, reports and mapping of soil moisture measurements. Field notes may be added to all entries in the field (individual readings, research plots, and sessions) and readings may be taken in free form (as you go) or a guided management zone pattern.

Web-based data management system

Spectrum’s enhanced SpecConnect web-based data management system auto-uploads and stores information from stationary weather stations, wireless networks along with certain portable meters to view detailed real-time data, calculations and reports/graphs for analysis and documentation. This data is accessible from a smartphone, pc / laptop or web device. Optional alerts will text or email you based on sensor threshold levels you select (i.e., soil moisture, temperature).

Wireless Mesh Network

Collect real-time, site-specific data across multiple microclimates / research plots / greenhouses using a variety of diverse sensors and up to 15 sensor (pup) stations which all send data wirelessly back to a base (retriever) station. The Retriever station consolidates, stores data, and optionally can transmit all detailed sensor data to a web based data management system via cellular or Wi-Fi modems. Network works well in environments with obstacles and rolling terrains; self-healing/forming network.
