A Somerset engineering shop. We design hardware, write firmware, and build LoRa-mesh IoT for agriculture, defence and industry.
An open IoT platform for soil and crop monitoring. UK and US field trials in progress.
In the best of our pilot deployments so far, growers have cut irrigation water by around 40% and seen yields improve by roughly a fifth, on sensor nodes cheap enough to scatter across a whole farm. Results vary with crop, soil and irrigation, which is exactly what the field trials are for.
Most of our work lands in agriculture, defence or industry. The sectors look different, but the underlying problem rarely is: a site that needs measuring, and no practical way to wire it.
Farms already have the irrigation hardware. What they don't have is the data, or a useful place to see it. We build both: low-cost sensor nodes and the dashboard on top.
Remote perimeters, temporary installations, places with no mains power and no cabling. We build the radios and ruggedised electronics that work there anyway, and the firmware that keeps them up.
Presses, packaging lines, logistics: equipment that runs all day but rarely measures itself. We add the sensors, connect them over LoRa or wired networks, and feed the readings into condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and OEE dashboards.
Sensors are only half the job. Once the data is flowing, we build the models and tooling that make it worth collecting.
Long-range mesh networking. 20 km+ demonstrated range. Reference node hardware under $10 BOM.
Pi Pico 2W + RFM9x LoRa node. MIT release in progress. Used as the reference platform for AgriHub360.
Map recognition, navigation and on-board AI for drones. Target applications: inspection, search-and-rescue, defence.
