We present techniques for mass manufacturing of a soil-moisture sensor that includes a heat probe and a temperature probe. The requirement of mass manufacturing necessitated a few changes in design of the heat probe. We also present an improved design using the standard method of reliability analysis. Potential failure modes were identified for the sensor, and the modifications to the design were made accordingly. The approach to design was aimed at improving the accuracy and repeatability of the sensor as well as making it suitable for mass manufacturing. Automating the process of manufacturing the sensor as a mechatronic system is outlined. By doing so, we aim to bring down the cost of the sensor considerably, thus enabling the use of sensors in large quantities for deployment in a field.
