towards smarter soil management
MAXSAM is a multiplexed array of biodegradable sensors for sustainable agriculture and Forestry
optimizes the use of resources (water, energy, fertilizers and pesticides..)
detects early signs of putrefaction and monitors compost processes
Indicates the optimal moment for harvest increasing it's efficiency
The
Challenge
World Population Dynamics forecast
will require an efficient use of natural
resources
Tracking and monitoring our fields and forests is fundamental to achieve the EU environmental goals for 2030:
Reduce
the use and risk of
chemical pesticides
by 50%
Reduce
the use of
fertilizer by
20%
Sounds good, right? ... BUT
The existing options we can find on the market have two main BIG problems:
IoT ain´t what it Used to be…
Internet of Things (IoT) main constraint is
Battery Life
Our Solution
Our solution
Energy Harvesting
The sensors will be able to collect and store the energy they need to function themselves from the environment.
Low-Powered Microchips
Simply by minimizing the amount of energy needed to function, we make batteries lifespan last longer.
Not so Clean
Microchips and IoT also pollute environment !
Smart sensors, IoT equipment’s usually are made of
toxic compounds for environment that you could not
liberate in the agriculture soil or the forests
Making them Biodegradable
Smart, right? we'll just let nature take care of them
Our Technology
We offer affordable biodegradable technology and hybrid solutions for smart farming. Micromanaging cultures through a system of sensors that accurately provide data on each plant, analyzing this information through a self-learning algorithm that has the ability to analyze patterns and send simple instructions to automated outputs .
Culture Micromanagement reduces significantly the use of multiple resources, assuring an optimal use of water and reducing the dependance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Conductivity, C02, Moisture, Ions, Ph, Other
VOCs Volatile organic
Compounds using ML Machine Learning Algorithms that increase plants longevity to prevent waste
Edge CAM compatible with 5G and Roll2Roll
Reagents that process advance pathogen
detection and High Resolution integrate different methods Lateral Flow, qPCR
e-Taste
Soil Moisture Monitoring
In vitro Models, microbiome soil studies to asses soil fertility and microbiology profile.
Based on quantitative molecular
detection techniques, it uses real-time
PCR to perform 400 tests per day with
sensitivity and specificity over 90%.
Thus, it allows for 42 min results.
Nevertheless
can be compatible with other modules
like NAT. LAMP, Quantum Dots or
Colorimetric Based interchangeable
modules, including next gen Dx
adating the needs of the customers
e-Ear
Sound Monitoring
Detect high frequencies that plants produce when dry / under stress. Also some specific pathogens can be detected using our ultrasound and microphone system.
e-Touch
Control and Action
Our microchip SIP can include actuators to control gates, irrigation systems, even Drones and Rovers (by our 9 Axis system) We can also sense air quality, temperature, and barometer, weather sensors
