Tree watering plans for municipal care teams

Soil probes send moisture and temperature readings wirelessly to a web application several times a day. Care teams use the measurements to select watering stops, navigate a route and retain records of completed visits.

About Tree watering plans for municipal care teams

Relating soil moisture to an individual planting location helps a care team decide which trees to visit. Flexyz combines moisture and temperature probes with a connected web application and a route-planning workflow. The installation gives the team repeated readings around its represented planting projects, linking the physical measurements to the location that needs attention.

Probes send soil-moisture percentages and temperature several times a day through the selected wireless arrangement. They can sit below ground or inside a dedicated tree stake, with flexible pins placed at the chosen depth or within the root ball. Low-battery notices support sensor exchange and wireless recharging. The connected records show the measured moisture at each location, supporting daily reports and the selection of stops for the watering vehicle.

The route and navigation application assembles a route from the current moisture measurements and directs the driver to the selected trees. Completed watering is logged with date, time, location and quantity, while staff add comments about an inaccessible site or other care work. The retained readings and visit records give the team a reference for reviewing what was measured, which route was followed and the next planting-care task to investigate.

How it works

Sense
Measure soil-moisture percentage and temperature at plantings.
Connect
Pass repeated wireless readings to the connected application.
Analyze
Select watering stops from current moisture measurements.
Act
Navigate the care route and log completed watering visits.

Questions and answers

Where can the moisture probe be installed around a tree?

It can be placed below ground or inside a dedicated tree stake. Flexible pins support the chosen depth, including placement in, beside or below the root ball.

How are the watering vehicle's stops selected?

The route application assembles stops using current soil-moisture measurements and provides navigation to the selected trees.

Which details are logged after a watering visit?

Completed care records include date, time, location and quantity. Staff can add comments about an inaccessible tree or other work such as replacing a watering border.

What helps staff plan probe recharging?

The probe sends a low-battery notice so it can be exchanged and wirelessly recharged. Battery endurance follows the selected operating arrangement.
