| Remote soil measurement | Remote soil moisture measurement with multispectral free-space radar. The sensor is intended to be mounted on centre pivot irrigators (ideally variable rate irrigation (VRI) enabled) to measure soil moisture ahead of the wetting path of the irrigator; and to provide a real time data layer to inform irrigation depth. | Partnered | No | Yes | No | Prototype |
| Road subsurface moisture measurement | The remote / non-invasive TDR sensor has potential both as a handheld tool for measuring moisture beneath the surface of roads and also as a high speed data collection tool attached to road inspection vehicles. Furthermore; the device could be used to map either a bulk, average moisture content or a full set of profile measurements of moisture levels beneath the surface of the road. | Partnered | No | No | Yes | Commercial Product |
| Fat depth distribution on red meat carcasses | Lincoln Agritech’s microwave technology has successfully mapped fat depth over whole carcasses based on resolving the reflections from fat layers from those of muscle layers. | Available | Yes | No | No | Proof of Concept |
| Moisture measurement of aggregate mixes | Lincoln Agritech has developed a sensor using multispectral radar / microwave to accurately measure moisture levels in conveyored materials such as concrete sand in asphalt plants. | Available | No | Yes | No | Prototype |
