In this case, Soil Scout, a startups-to-work-for-in-finland-in-2019/” rel=”noopener noreferrer” target=”_blank”>Finnish IoT sensor startup, sends data signals out of the ground wirelessly, from much more in-depth than previously possible.
In a recent development, Soil Scout has raised significant late-seed funding round led by Husqvarna Group.
The company intends to use this funding to scale production in an attempt to help more farmers, sports venues, and managers of green spaces around the world to manage their water resources better.
Jalmari Talola, Soil Scout’s CEO, said:
We were particularly impressed with Soil Scout’s track record, with high-profile sports grounds like Wembley Stadium and Citizens Bank Park (home to the Philadelphia Phillies) already utilizing the system.
Soil Scout’s sensor is capable of transmitting moisture, temperature, and salinity data in near real-time from up to 2 meters below the surface, for up to 20 years, maintenance-free.
Johannes Tiusanen, a 19th generation farmer, a doctor in agrotechnology, and inventor of the Soil Scout solution built the system to give farmers the data they need to become precision agriculture specialists, both conserving water resources and increasing yields on their land over the long-term.
The Finnish startup works with various companies, including farmers and agricultural producers around the world, golf courses like Desert Mountain Arizona, and arenas like Wembley Stadium.
At Soil Scout, we have built a future-proof below-ground monitoring solution that can stay in operation and in-situ for decades.
