AGRICULTURAL SENSORS. CONNECTED MONITORING.

Sensing hardware, environmental monitoring and connected alerts for New Zealand agriculture and horticulture.

What we provide.

Measure the conditions that matter, place hardware where the reading is useful, and connect signals to the people who can act.

What can we monitor?

Possible sensing inputs. We select and validate the combination that serves your site and decision.

01

Temperature

Track air, crop-surface or equipment heat.

Choose measurement points and useful thresholds for the crop, site and task.

02

Humidity & moisture

See local humidity and moisture changes.

Measure the conditions that matter across growing zones or water-sensitive processes.

03

Air quality

Monitor CO₂, ammonia or other relevant gases.

Place sensors where changing air conditions could affect people, animals or production.

04

Sound & vibration

Listen for shifts in equipment or animal environments.

Capture audio or vibration signals and decide which changes merit a closer look.

05

Cameras & vision

Capture visual conditions for review and analysis.

Use cameras in the field, glasshouse or site to observe crops, animals or assets.

06

Equipment condition

Bring machine status and runtime into view.

Connect existing equipment signals so exceptions can reach the right team.

07

Water & irrigation

Follow flow, pressure and water conditions.

Monitor critical points in irrigation or water systems and connect readings to action.

08

LiDAR & mapping

Add spatial context to routes and observations.

Use location and mapping data where terrain, access or asset position matters.

09

Crop & animal monitoring

Combine signals around health, growth or behaviour.

Select sensing inputs that fit the specific observation and validate them in context.

Sensing around your site.

Useful monitoring starts with a question: what needs to be measured, where should the reading come from, and who will act on it? Jakrok assesses sensing hardware and data connections around the conditions of your operation. That can mean connecting existing equipment, selecting additional sensors or bringing readings into a shared operational view.

  • The measurement

    Identify the condition, location and frequency that make a reading useful. Placement, calibration and maintenance matter alongside the sensor specification.

  • The connection

    Assess available power, site coverage, device interfaces and access to your existing systems. Connectivity and compatibility are checked before a solution is selected.

  • The response

    Agree what should trigger a review, who receives an alert and how the check or action is recorded. Keep people in control of operational decisions.

How we assess and scope the work ↗

Questions about sensor monitoring.

What could sensor monitoring look like in a growing operation?
Illustrative applications include observing temperature and humidity across glasshouse zones, following soil moisture trends in orchard blocks, or checking flow and pressure in a water system. The useful combination depends on your crop, site and decision. We assess these requirements before recommending equipment or promising an outcome.
Can you connect sensors we already have?
We start by identifying the devices, interfaces, data access and software already in use. Some systems expose readings through an API or gateway; others may require additional hardware or have access limitations. Feasibility work establishes what can be connected and whether keeping, extending or replacing equipment makes practical sense.
Do you provide an off-the-shelf monitoring package?
The work is shaped around the operation. We assess the measurement and integration requirements before selecting a route forward. If investigation is needed, we agree a paid feasibility stage, its outputs and cost first. The delivery scope then sets out hardware, installation, validation and maintenance responsibilities.
How do we start a sensor integration project?
Tell us what you need to observe, what happens when conditions change, and what equipment or records you already use. A site plan, example readings or a description of the current manual checks can help frame the first conversation. You do not need to choose a sensor before contacting us.

Illustrative workflow

A practical path from signal to action.

  1. 01

    Capture

    A sensor logs a growing-zone change.

  2. 02

    Make visible

    A shared view flags the reading.

  3. 03

    Respond

    The right person checks and records the action.
