Soil pH can vary wildly even in small fields. One corner could be fine. Another might be hurting your yield. That’s why SQAT maps pH with precision, using: 🔬 Proximal sensors 🤖 Robotic sampling 📊 Lab-on-the-field analysis 💬 When was the last time you checked your pH?
📢 New publication "Multi-Source Data Integration for Sustainable Management Zone Delineation in Precision Agriculture" 🔍 The paper shows how combining soil & satellite data helps farmers treat each part of the field according to its needs. Read it mdpi.com/2071-1050/17/1…
Old school soil sampling = walking in a grid, taking 1 sample every few hectares. It’s expensive. It’s...🙄 SQAT replaces grids with smart routing. 🛰️ Satellite data segments the field into zones 🤖 Robots follow optimal sampling paths 🧪 Soil maps are created in near real-time
🌱 What is #HASHTAGproject building? ✅ Trusted data from machinery ✅ High-accuracy satellite positioning ✅ Certified EO maps for farming So farmers, advisors & public bodies can rely on the data they use every day. #SmartFarming #HorizonEU #EUSPA #DigitalAg #HASHTAGEU
✅ Milestone achieved in the #SQAT project! We’ve completed the 1st co-creation cycle with first versions of: 🤖 Heavy & light sampling robots 📡 Continuous mapping robot 🧪 Lab-on-the-field #AgriTech #HorizonEU #SmartFarming #EUSPA #Copernicus
SQAT uses #Copernicus Sentinel-2 data to spot differences in soil reflectance — basically how soil looks from above in different light bands. That helps us: 🔍 Identify zones with different properties 📍 Guide where to send soil robots 📊 Create actionable maps for farmers
A common practice: mix a few soil samples from around the field and send them to the lab. Simple? Yes. Accurate? Not really. 🚫 Mixed samples give you an average. But soils vary — sometimes dramatically — within a single field.
Not all agri-tech is “smart.” Truly smart farming applications need three things: 1. Reliable high-resolution input data 2. Compatibility with real farm equipment 3. Clear, practical outputs for users SQAT project delivers all three.
Uniform farming practices can be surprisingly expensive. ❌ Overuse of inputs ❌ Missed yield potential ❌ Environmental runoff SQAT makes precision affordable, offering real-time soil maps that highlight intra-field variability.
We’re deploying lab-on-the-field technology — compact chambers that analyse soil samples directly in the field using ion-selective electrodes and colorimetry. ✅ Instant pH ✅ Real-time nutrient levels (N, K, Ca…) ✅ Lower costs, faster action
🎯 Final day of #SQAT GA = tech in motion! 🛠️ ILVO workshop tour 🤖 Live demo: robots mapping + moving across the field 🥪 Networking lunch to close a full week of soil innovation Thanks to all partners & our fantastic host ILVO! 🌱🚜
👥 Day 4 @ #SQAT GA = strategy, structure & celebration! 🧠 Morning: WP deep-dives & GA session 🏭 Midday: ILVO tour & tech discussions 🌇 Evening: field-side BBQ to wrap up an intense week of progress! Tech, teamwork & taste 🌱🔥#smartfarming #soiltech
🚜 Day 3 @ #SQAT GA = real-world action! 🛠️ Morning: robot prep, GIS routes, task finalisation 🌾 Afternoon: live demo of our autonomous fertilisation service in the field From planning → practice → future scaling 🚀 #smartfarming #agtech #HorizonEurope #precisionagriculture
🌱 Day 2 at #SQAT GA = real use case focus! 💡 Which tech works best for liming, tillage, fertilisation, seeding & carbon MRV? 🔧 Afternoon = practical integration: hardware & GIS sessions in full swing. From ideas to action! 🚜🛰️ #smartfarming #agtech #HorizonEurope #soilquality
🚀 Day 1 of the #SQAT General Assembly in Merelbeke! 🔧 Tech demos straight from the robot lab 📊 Service provider workflows 🌱 Field integration tests in action Smart farming, teamwork & hands-on progress from the ground up! #smartfarming #soilquality #HorizonEurope #agtech
🌍 The SQAT team is meeting in person this week in Merelbeke, Belgium! Workshops, demos, deep dives & real-world testing – all in one packed agenda. #SQAT #smartfarming #soilquality #HorizonEurope #regenerativeagriculture #EUSPA
