Your greenhouse in the palm of your hand
There’s nothing 9 to 5 about agriculture. The sun keeps rising and setting, temperatures fluctuate, humidity varies, pests and diseases develop. Crops don’t stop needing care on weekends, holidays or after hours. Capturing metrics from remotely placed sensors (anywhere in the world), the ZENSIE platform’s there to keep tabs on your crops in real-time, and ...Read more
Agri work isn’t insular, so why should your agri-data platform be?
We’ve just updated the ZENSIE dashboard. The new groups feature makes it easy to share data from various sources (sensors, climate control, traceability) in its various forms (heatmaps, graphs, visualizations, single values) with individuals within and outside your organisation. Group members can follow sensors, and with live commenting, provide feedback on crop performance based on ...Read more

We make this point often: we’re a tech company serving agriculture* *(horitculture, floriculture, vertical farming, arable farming, processing, cold storage, transport, retail) Our product strategy is in many ways radically simple: make what customers tell us they want and need. This process never stops. If you’ve been with us for a bit, you may recall ...Read more
This grower discovered irrigation issues with just 3 sensors
It may go against “sales logic,” but we usually advise customers to start with small deployments. It’s not because we can’t handle large ones (one gateway can support around 4 thousand sensors– and if more are needed, it just takes another gateway) but because working with crop-level insights is a process. It becomes a part ...Read more
Want to know the power of a sensor? Look to the cloud.
Technology in horticulture doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated. We’ve built a business around this belief, and it’s not just for the sake of improving or ‘disrupting’ existing technology. Growers need technology to be simple and streamlined, because they’ve got more than enough on their plates, working to make sure we’ve got enough on ...Read more

Produce temperature protection with crop-level data
In the world of produce, temperature is critical. Awareness of temperature changes can be the difference between a quality product, and a heat-damaged one. The implications run deep: health and safety, profits and supplier reputation are all on the line– and supermarket demand for quality produce is only increasing. With the right data, agribusinesses can ...Read more
Who are you giving your future (agri)data to?
Working in agri-technology, I come across this statistic quite often: “IoT device installations in the agriculture world will increase to 75 million in 2020″ I’m happy to leave discussing the details of the precise projections to analysts, but the point remains: agriculture is digitizing. It’s digitizing at varying rates in various sectors and regions, but we can ...Read more
