Finapp probe: Patented CRNS technology for water data

The patented Finapp Probe, powered by CRNS technology, provides non-invasive, in depth, real-time measurements of soil moisture and water content across large areas, delivering precise and actionable insights for agriculture and water management.

Why choose the Finapp Probe?

  • Exclusive Technology: Patent-protected features provide a competitive advantage.
  • Innovative Design: Small (35×40 cm) and compact (5 kg). It is easy to install and use everywhere.
  • Installable anywhere: Does not require mains electricity.
  • Non-invasive: Installed 2m above ground, does not disrupt daily on-site activities.
  • No special maintenance required.
  • Not operator dependent.

Soil water content (VWC) is fundamental for assessing environmental risks (landslides, wildfires, floods), but its spatial variability makes estimation difficult. Point sensors are local and difficult to install, satellites have limited resolution, and hydrological models require continuous validation. The CRNS…
