ePlant TreeTag sensor
The heartbeat of every tree
ePlant is the manufacturer of the TreeTag dendrometer. PlantData.Live has one ambition: to read in every data source that helps you manage trees better.
Already using ePlant TreeTags?
You already own the sensors. PlantData.Live is what you connect them to.
Our own LoRa infrastructure
We read TreeTag data in over our own LoRaWAN network, so connectivity and data storage stay under our control.
All your sensors in one view
Your TreeTags alongside the other sensor hardware we integrate. One platform, one history, one export.
Alerts instead of graphs
Algorithms watch the data for you and warn you when a tree is under stress, so you do not have to go looking.
Derived values, not raw counts
Growth rate, water stress, stability and carbon uptake, calculated from the raw dendrometry.
"The sensors allowed us to see how trees respond to water in ways we had never seen before, which was invaluable for our research goals. The data output from the sensors is intuitive and easy to understand, making them a fun way for students to get involved in our research."
Dr. Natalie Love — Postdoctoral researcher, University of Illinois
One platform for all your sensor data
PlantData.Live is an integration partner for the ePlant TreeTag. We read TreeTag data in over our own LoRa infrastructure, which gives us full control over connectivity and data storage.
A data platform performs 3 tasks: sensor asset management, data integrity validation and data interpretation. Bringing every relevant data source into one platform produces insights for the arborist that separate systems can never deliver.
Automatic analysis and alerting
Thanks to A.I. and algorithms that analyze the data automatically, we help you interpret what your trees are telling you. You are the first to know when a tree has something to say.
For a good understanding of the possibilities, you can contact us or continue reading about the derived values from dendrometry.
Internet-of-Plants in the most accessible way
Anyone who cares about trees will find dendrometer data useful for keeping them healthy. A tree safety inspection (Visual Tree Assessment) gives you a visual snapshot. That is one inspection every 6 months to 5 years. A lot can happen in between. Unstable roots from too much water. Drought stress from too little water. Damage to the tree.
PlantData.Live keeps watch 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So you not only get an immediate alert when a tree is under stress, but also long-term insight into growth rate and even carbon uptake.
Curious about which other sensor hardware we are integrating into our platform? We maintain an overview on this page, but feel free to contact us if you have specific monitoring requests.
Contractor
More and more often, as a (landscape) contractor or groundworks contractor, you have to guarantee that existing trees survive the works.
Newly planted trees are also extra vulnerable in their first 3 years. How do you make transplanting a tree a success every time? A timely warning and a phone call to the client to adjust the irrigation can be enough.
Grower
The TreeTag measures growth directly, and that growth can be compared against standards to prepare the harvest and identify stages such as bud formation, flowering or dormancy.
Growers can analyze potential disruptions caused by pests, diseases, and damage early by observing changes in the transpiration and growth of a plant.
This health assessment also runs on autopilot. Periodic checks become less critical, and no time is lost the way it is between two inspections.
Researcher
Tree monitoring reveals trends at scale thanks to LoRaWAN connectivity and solar power.
Growth modeling is possible thanks to the combination of an extremely accurate measurement sustained over a long period.
The accurate recording of the diameter increase also provides an objective continuous measurement of carbon sequestration: carbon capture.
