Canopy

Problem

Rubber estates span uneven terrain where manual scouting is slow and expensive. Canopy prototypes remote sensing nodes that report trunk and soil indicators so managers can prioritize interventions before yield loss compounds.

What it covers

• Embedded sensor nodes for plantation micro-climate and trunk metrics
• Tree-guard style mechanical mounts for field durability
• Gateway aggregation for estate-wide health maps
• Low-power sampling schedules tuned for multi-week deployments

struct CanopySample {
  uint16_t trunkMoisture;
  float canopyTempC;
  uint32_t epoch;
};

void sampleAndUplink(uint8_t treeId) {
  CanopySample sample{
    readTrunkMoisture(),
    readCanopyIrC(),
    rtc.unix(),
  };
  radio.send(treeId, sample);
  deepSleep(kSamplePeriodSec);
}
