Coming Spring 2023
PheNode is a flexible, environmental sensor platform that encourages innovation by providing users the freedom to build custom solutions tailored to their unique needs.
-
Customizable – custom sensor options, custom data cleaning
-
Modular – physically reconfigurable for indoor/outdoor operations
-
Scalable sensor area – command a fleet of wireless sensors with a single PheNode
-
API access - stream your data into robust data visualization platforms like Grafana
-
Adaptable – edit the functionality of specific software features, such as automated data normalization preferences, to accelerate your data analyses
-
Physically robust – made from aluminum and other durable, recyclable materials

Wireless Sensors
The wireless sensors can communicate up to 1km away and increase your measurement area by 500+ acres with a single PheNode. These battery-operated, solar-powered sensors placed in representative areas in the field remotely collect data throughout the growing season. These data are then transmitted hourly to the PheNode via LoRaWAN or Bluetooth communication.
A single PheNode stationed strategically can gather data from multiple fields over large distances, and farming operations remain unencumbered for most of the season.
Indoors, the wireless sensors can help users map out the variability of controlled environments.
