As part of a project to plant young trees in the Munich city area, the Schernthaner company took on the irrigation work. The company usually carries out weekly irrigation with around 100 liters per tree during the summer months (based on FLL: Recommendations for Tree Planting Part 1). In collaboration with TreeSense, the irrigation was to be optimized this time. Through the use of sensors [...]

As a general rule, dry wood is a very poor conductor of electricity. Water, however, in which nutrients and salts are dissolved, conducts electricity very well. Pure (distilled) water is also a poor conductor. We make use of this relationship to examine the moisture content in the tree. The electrical resistance is measured between two electrically conductive screws [...].

In the world of the Internet of Things (IoT), particularly in the field of environmental monitoring and smart city applications, the question often arises as to whether you should use your own The Things Network (TTN) network or establish a connection to a local network operator, such as municipal utilities. Both options offer specific advantages and possible applications. This wiki article compares these two approaches to [...]

The Things Network (TTN) is a global, open and decentralized network for the Internet of Things (IoT) based on LoRaWAN technology. It enables users to connect IoT devices over long distances with low energy consumption. TTN plays an essential role in the dissemination and use of IoT technologies, especially in the field of environmental monitoring and urban [...]

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a key technology in the Internet of Things (IoT) that has been specially developed for wireless, battery-powered sensors in a regional, national or even global network. In combination with TreeSense technology, LoRaWAN enables effective monitoring of tree health and water balance. This wiki article highlights the use of LoRaWAN in [...]

TreeSense provides advanced technologies for monitoring tree health and water balance by using tree sensors based on either Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) or Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN). These sensors are specifically designed to monitor environmental conditions and ensure effective tree management. This wiki article focuses on NB-IoT technology, whose [...]
