What we install, and what it does for you
We do not manufacture sensors — we source them, integrate them, and write the control logic that makes them useful. Below is what each system does in plain terms, and what it changes on your farm.
The diagrams on this page are demonstrations. They show how the logic behaves, not readings from your site. The calculator is the one tool here you can run on your own numbers.
Sensor-driven irrigation
Soil moisture probes at three depths tell the controller what the crop actually needs, instead of watering on a fixed timer. When moisture drops below the crop's threshold, the valve opens. When it recovers, the valve closes.
- Typically cuts water use by around a quarter against timed irrigation
- Removes the daily walk to open and close taps
- Logs every irrigation event, so you can prove what the crop received
Remote monitoring
Temperature, humidity, light and soil moisture logged continuously and readable from your phone, wherever you are. You see the tunnel at 3am without walking to it, and you have a record when something goes wrong.
- Alerts when a reading leaves the safe range for your crop
- Manual override, so you can still run pumps and vents by hand
- History you can show a buyer, a funder or an insurer
Machine learning, integrated into your controller
Our models run on the control unit at your site, not on a server somewhere. They learn from your own readings and take over the decisions that are easy to get wrong.
- Irrigation scheduling — predicts tomorrow's demand from weather and soil trend, and waters ahead of the stress rather than after it
- Disease detection — a camera on the crop row flags leaf symptoms early, when a spray still fixes it
- Yield forecasting — an estimate of what you will harvest and when, so you can sell before you pick
- Fault detection — a pump drawing the wrong current or a sensor drifting gets flagged before it costs you a crop
Honest note: below roughly five hectares a written irrigation schedule and weekly scouting gets you most of this benefit for nothing. We will tell you when that is the better answer.
Solar and energy management
Irrigation is the biggest electrical load on most farms, and load-shedding hits when the crop needs water most. We size a solar hybrid system to your pumping load and set the controller to run the heavy work while the sun is on the panels.
- Pumping shifted into daylight hours, cutting grid draw
- Battery sized to carry the crop through an outage, not the whole farm
- Bill of materials and payback worked out before you commit
Perimeter security
Theft of produce, drip line and cable is the loss new growers under-budget for most. Our detection runs in stages so it does not drain a battery or cry wolf: a motion sensor wakes the unit, a camera decides whether it is a person or an animal, and only a person triggers an alert.
- Animals and wind do not raise an alarm, so the system stays switched on
- Recording starts only when someone is close, saving power and storage
- Solar powered, so it works where there is no mains at the fence line
Talk to us about your site
We start with a conversation about what you grow and what you already have. From there we help you get quotes, and we install and maintain what you choose.
