Technology
How do we measure so accurately?
The real-time soil intelligence is grounded on the innovative Mobile INS (Inelastic Neutron Scattering) technology. Patented globally, this precision technology measures soil at the atomic level. While measuring a large volume of soil without disturbing it, we do not compromise on accuracy, speed or cost. Watch the video to find out how we do it!

Soil scanning and data at 80% increased accuracy
Powered by innovative Mobile INS (Inelastic Neutron Scattering) technology, CAS delivers soil intelligence of unrivalled accuracy. The globally patented MINS unit scans the field in-situ and uploads data in real-time in the cloud. Next, the CAS software processes the data immediately to visualise different soil characteristics in comprehensive maps.
Measured at the atomic level, the accuracy is 80% higher than traditional soil sampling. The data integrity, transparency and security are guaranteed because they are GPS-tracked and uploaded in secure ledgers. As a result, we deliver data of high quality and quantity, at high speed and low cost.
By having convenient access to accurate and integer soil intelligence, land managers can sustainably enhance the land’s productivity while lowering input costs and uncertainties.

Unrivalled accuracy and integrity.
Mobile Inelastic Neutron Scattering (MINS)
The CAS’ soil intelligence is powered by Mobile Inelastic Neutron Scattering (MINS) technology. This is the world’s most advanced soil carbon measurement technology.
- Real-time, in situ precision: MINS directly measures soil carbon content at a depth of 30cm, bypassing the inaccuracies of estimation or modelling.
- Consistency: Using GPS-guided pathways, the MINS unit follows a precise route, allowing measurements to be taken along the same path in subsequent cycles. This process ensures reliable data consistency, further enhancing the accuracy.
Cloud Technology
A robust cloud-based data management system ensures data accuracy and integrity.
After processing in the cloud, the data is made immutable by secure digital ledgers.
- MINS measurements. In situ uploaded during scanning.
- Project data. Uploaded via the CAS portal.
- Greenhouse Gas data. Uploaded via a bespoke API integration with the Cool Farm Tool.
Blockchain
To add an extra layer of confidence, and if required as part of the carbon program, a third-party auditor can access the verification part of the CAS portal to verify and validate the data.
Once a validation or verification report is issued, files are locked and stored in blockchain technology, ensuring the integrity of each project step. This is the basis of the CAS registry, where carbon projects are listed and traded.
This third layer of technology ensures
- Transparency
- Traceability
- Integrity
- Streamlined auditing
Bonus: CAS Registry
The CAS Registry utilizes blockchain technology for secure digital ledger management.
- Secure, Automated Credit Lifecycle: carbon credit data is displayed in real-time, and the sale and retirement process is automated to eliminate risks of double-selling or double-counting.
- User-Friendly Interface: clients can access real-time data, and track project progress.
- Supply Planning for Corporations: visibility into potential carbon credit supply from projects enabling forecasting and forward sales.
Our Benefits
The potential of MINS technology
Accuracy
Through measuring at the atomic level, MINS unit provides an 80% increase in accuracy compared to traditional soil sampling methods, to within 1.1mg C/cm3 at a 95% confidence interval.
Certainty
By scanning a continuous path of 1.5m wide and 30cm in depth, the MINS unit captures a volumetric soil sample, increasing certainty and accuracy, whilst mitigating the inherent variability of soil. The MINS unit can currently scan approximately 256 hectares per day (640 acres).
Velocity
The MINS unit continuously measures soil content in situ and sends the data to the cloud every 30 seconds, providing near real-time results.
Security
Fully digital processing, recording, and storage of MINS measurements in secure ledgers.
Consistency
The MINS unit follows a precise GPS-guided route, allowing measurements to be taken along the same path in subsequent cycles. This process ensures data consistency, transparency, and accuracy.
Researched
Researched, developed, and calibrated by the USDA-ARS National Soil Dynamics Laboratory (NSDL).
