HONDE, a provider of environmental monitoring solutions, has released the SDI-12 interface soil temperature and humidity EC sensor. This cutting-edge product, which integrates a three-in-one monitoring function, is bringing new possibilities to the fields of precision agriculture, environmental research and smart irrigation with its outstanding accuracy and compatibility with industry standards.
Technological innovation: The perfect integration of three-in-one sensing technology
By adopting HONDE’s patented multi-parameter fusion technology, a single device can simultaneously measure soil volumetric water content (VWC), temperature and electrical conductivity (EC). The sensor is based on the advanced frequency domain reflection principle (FDR) and is equipped with an industrial-grade stainless steel probe to ensure stable and reliable measurement data under various soil conditions.
“We have successfully pushed the measurement accuracy of three key parameters to new heights,” said Dr. Zhang, Chief Technology Officer of HONDE. “The humidity measurement accuracy is ±2%, the temperature accuracy is ±0.5°C, and the EC measurement range covers 0 to 20,000 μs/cm, fully meeting the strict requirements of modern precision agriculture.”
SDI-12 standard: The Perfect Solution for Internet of Things Agriculture
This series of sensors is fully compatible with the SDI-12 communication protocol, a feature that gives it a unique advantage in the application of Internet of Things in agriculture. A single bus can connect up to dozens of sensors, greatly simplifying the deployment complexity of the distributed monitoring network. The technical expert of the agricultural cloud platform pointed out in the evaluation report: “HONDE’s standardized interface and the seamless integration capability of our platform provide an ideal solution for the large-scale deployment of the agricultural Internet of Things.”
Field verification: Outstanding performance recognized by the industry
In the smart farm trial in the Central Valley of California, it demonstrated remarkable performance. The grape grower shared: “Through the precise EC data provided by HONDE sensors, we have achieved precise control over fertilizer usage, saving 25% of fertilizer costs while improving fruit quality.”
Researchers from the University of Arizona’s Environmental Research Center also confirmed the reliability of the product: “During the six-month comparative test, the HONDE sensor data maintained a high degree of consistency with the laboratory analysis results, providing valuable data support for our soil salinization research.”
Application prospects: Multi-field solutions
In addition to traditional agriculture, it has demonstrated extensive application potential in fields such as greenhouse cultivation, golf course management, and ecological monitoring. Its IP68 protection rating ensures that the device can operate stably in various harsh environments, while its low-power consumption design makes it particularly suitable for long-term monitoring scenarios powered by solar energy.
Market impact and industry outlook
According to the latest report from the well-known market Research institution Grand View Research, the global market size of smart agricultural sensors is expected to reach 4.56 billion US dollars in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 13.8%. The launch of this new product from HONDE coincides with a crucial period of digital transformation in agriculture.
“The popularization of the SDI-12 standard is accelerating the standardization process of agricultural Internet of Things,” analyzed Dr. Emily Wilson, an expert in agricultural Internet of Things. “HONDE’s product, with its outstanding compatibility and accuracy, is expected to become a new reference standard in the industry.”
Supply and Service
The SDI12 soil temperature and humidity EC sensor is now officially available for sale through HONDE’s global authorized dealer network. The company also provides complete development kits and technical documentation to support customers in quickly completing system integration. With the continuous advancement of global precision agriculture, HONDE promises to continue investing in research and development to bring more innovative solutions to the industry.
The successful launch of this new product not only consolifies HONDE’s leading position in agricultural sensing technology, but also provides strong technical support for promoting the sustainable development of global agriculture. With the full advent of the digital agriculture era, intelligent sensing devices are becoming key infrastructure for enhancing agricultural production efficiency and achieving optimal resource allocation.
