Sensors that are yours, data that becomes decisions.

The difference between believing you irrigate well and knowing it is a handful of well-chosen sensors. Sensors, the irrigation head and valves communicate over a radio network of your own that covers the whole farm, and thermal sensors tell you the water status of each sector, day by day.

Thermal sensors

The water status of each sector, day by day

A tree that transpires well keeps itself cool; a thirsty one heats up. We measure canopy and air temperature to calculate the crop water stress index (CWSI) and follow in real time how each sector is coping with water — before the stress is visible to the eye.

From installation to monitoring

  1. We instrument

    Sensors, irrigation-head control and valves communicate over a radio network of your own that covers the whole farm.

  2. We monitor

    We follow water status in real time with temperature sensors and check that every irrigation is applied as programmed, to keep the water balance up to date.

What the commissioning kit includes

  • LoRaWAN gateway

    The heart of your own radio network: it connects all the farm’s sensors, covering the whole farm, without depending on cell coverage in every corner.

  • Weather station

    It measures your farm’s climate — not the official station’s twenty kilometers away — and feeds the daily evapotranspiration calculation.

  • Base sensing

    Flow meter, pressure transducer and canopy and air temperature: the minimum needed to know what water you apply and how the tree experiences it.

  • Setup and training

    The setup, the training and the kick-off meeting are done by agronomists on our team: people who know what an irrigation season is, not a PDF manual.

The infrastructure is yours

The gateway, the weather station and the sensors become part of your farm’s assets from the day of installation. So does the data. No perpetual rentals, no dependence on network operators — built on the industrial LoRaWAN standard.

What each sensor measures and why it matters

Flow meter

The actual water applied in each irrigation event. What you program is not always what arrives: the flow meter records the volume that really passed through each sector’s terminal, event by event.

Pressure transducer

The hydraulic health of the network. Out-of-range pressures give away cloggings, breaks and failing valves — before they cost you harvest.

Canopy temperature

The tree’s water stress via CWSI: our specialty. When the plant lacks water, it closes its stomata and the canopy warms up; the sensor detects it before the human eye can. We measure it with SAQIA-IR, our own canopy temperature sensor, designed and built in-house.

Air temperature

It closes the CWSI calculation and watches for frost: a timely alert during flowering can be worth a harvest.

Expandable sector by sector, sensor by sensor

You start with the essentials and grow when the farm asks for it: reservoir level, water salinity, soil moisture… Because it is a standard LoRaWAN network, any sensor on the market can join the same infrastructure, without changing systems or starting over.

First year of service included

The first year of service is included with the installation, and after that support continues under an annual contract whose terms we agree with you. From day one you see your farm’s data in SAQIA, with alerts on your phone.
