SE Asian economy is majorly dependent on agriculture(as high as 60% for some countries) and most farms lack any sophisticated measurement systems. This results in large crop losses and damage due to inadequate action undertaken by the farmer due to lack of quantitative data.The issue is that smart sensing and IoT, whilst inexpensive (&revolutionary) for vertical farming systems (as demonstrated by several companies) tends to fail in wide agricultural settings as the one-sensor one-readout approach stops working due to being extremely expensive. Terabithia has developed one sensor multiple readouts technology which is based on well known approaches used in other sectors predominantly in the aerospace/biomedical sectors recognising that in actuality, agriculture doesn't require extremely precise data, but a general idea about the conditions and measurables.Using cheap pins as hardware(which renders IP-theft moot) and developing it for multiple readouts(using relatively rarer techniques of measurement),we plan to implement and revolutionise the outdoor agricultural market. Using pins significantly de-risks IP loss and reduces costs, which is the major issue for extensive agriculture.Tailored GUI ensures that operators/farmers who tend to be illiterate can still be able to use it easily(pictorial approach with language support).All backend analysis and control is performed by a Terabithia server.These measurables change over time and are crop dependent which is why our partner - GW Genetics-renowned for seed development- is very useful for the developmental work as he operates in 11 countries in the region. The feasibility study trials out what is usually a cause for major failure for most IoT based systems as they are too expensive for use in SE-Asia, and with the focus being on hardware/software which is easily copied, and being far too expensive to implement.Even small farms(1000 acres) have problems with IoT implementation as it becomes too expensive especially for measuring multiple parameters. This is how our approach is very innovative.Using this project, we open up significant markets in Malaysia (SEAsia) and India and have rapid penetration with the support garnered from the partner.Our main focus is in extensive agriculture/open agricultural systems.Key objectives are - modify our existing vertical farming sensor system for use in large field agriculture , modify our GUI targeted for the region, build prototypes , test in the UK , ship or transport to Malaysia and test on site with our partner. This provides large scale social and fiscal impact for both UK company and the SE Asian landowners.

东南亚经济主要依赖农业(一些国家高达60%)，大多数农场缺乏任何复杂的测量系统。由于缺乏定量数据，农民采取的行动不充分，这导致了大量的作物损失和损害。问题是，智能传感和物联网，尽管垂直农业系统(如几家公司所证明的)是廉价的(和革命性的)，但在广泛的农业环境中往往会失败，因为单传感器一读数方法由于极其昂贵而停止工作。Terabithia已经开发了一传感器多读数技术，该技术基于其他部门(主要是航空航天/生物医学部门)使用的众所周知的方法，认识到实际上，农业不需要非常精确的数据，而是对条件和可测量的一般概念。我们计划使用廉价的引脚作为硬件(这使得窃取知识产权成为没有意义的)，并开发它用于多个读数(使用相对罕见的测量技术)，我们计划实施并彻底改变户外农业市场。使用PIN显著降低了知识产权损失的风险，并降低了成本，这是广泛农业的主要问题。定制的图形用户界面确保不识字的操作员/农民仍然能够很容易地使用它(具有语言支持的图形化方法)。所有后端分析和控制都由Terabithia服务器执行。这些可测量的指标会随着时间的推移而变化，并且依赖于作物，这就是为什么我们的合作伙伴GW Genetics-以种子开发闻名-对于开发工作非常有用，因为他在该地区的11个国家开展业务。可行性研究测试了通常会导致大多数基于物联网的系统出现重大故障的原因，因为它们在东南亚使用起来太贵了，而且重点放在易于复制的硬件/软件上，而且实施起来也太贵了。即使是小型农场(1000英亩)也存在物联网实施方面的问题，因为物联网的实施变得过于昂贵，特别是在测量多个参数时。这就是我们的方法是如何非常创新的。通过这个项目，我们在马来西亚(东南亚)和印度打开了重要的市场，并在合作伙伴的支持下迅速渗透。我们的主要重点是广泛的农业/开放农业系统。主要目标是-修改我们现有的垂直农业传感器系统，用于大片农田农业，修改我们针对该地区的图形用户界面，建立原型，在英国测试，运输或运输到马来西亚，并与我们的合作伙伴一起进行现场测试。这为英国公司和东南亚土地所有者提供了大规模的社会和财政影响。
