Meet ZENSIE in Niagara Falls
Regardless of the differences in their crops, environment, relative business size or region, we’ve seen that some grower concerns are near universal: “there aren’t enough hours in the day” is certainly one of them. “I can’t be in two (or three, or four) places at once” is another. It just so happens that the ZENSIE […]
Closing the data gap in horticultural research: in conversation with Chris Need
A few weeks ago, we spoke to horticultural consultant Chris Need about the role real-time data plays in helping growers prevent disease (in this specific case pansy mottle syndrome), and discussed how remote monitoring of plants and their environment can help drive more informed, immediate decision-making. A few weeks (and a new product update) on, […]
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 […]
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 […]
ZENSIE updates: agriculture is collaborative, and we’re listening
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Horti Asia 2018: 30MHz in Thailand
It’s that time of year again: August 22nd through 24th, 30MHz will be in Bangkok for Horti Asia 2018, the international trade show for horticultural and floricultural production and processing technology. We’ll be showcasing ZENSIE, the platform for agridata, as well as some of the agri-oriented sensors from our portfolio. Besides demoing our tech, we’ll […]
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 […]
Visualizing targets with ZENSIE notifications
We recently combined the power of charts and notifications to make the parameters of custom alerts visible in chart widgets, making it easy for customers to observe when crop or environmental measurements triggered notifications.* *(And allowing them to to continue to watch them do so in real-time) But there’s another useful application of the notifications-in-charts […]
Add Saudi Arabia to the 30MHz map
We’re proud to have deployments across five continents, with new countries added to our map regularly. And we’re thrilled to have our first Saudi Arabian deployment under our belt! Read more about our (international) customer deployments here.
Traceability + Crop-level monitoring= less waste, better product
So, you’ve grown perfect crops. You’ve optimised irrigation, prevented sunscald, averted disease risk, and saved money with an IPM strategy that’s tailored to your growing conditions. The last thing you need is your (and mother nature’s) market-ready, sustainable product to be a casualty of bad storage or transport conditions. It doesn’t need to be. Consus […]
30MHz on tour
30MHz is increasingly global– data in the ZENSIE platform is coming from 5 continents, and over 150 deployments. And our growing network of distribution partners is central to helping us empower growers. We’re joining some of our partners at upcoming events. Here’s where you can find our tech and get a demo in the coming […]
UK: Join us at Sensors in Food and Agriculture
How do we make agriculture and horticulture more productive? How do we reduce waste, increase yields and cut costs in the process? How do we provide growers with more context about their crops and growing environments, so they can make better decisions? How do we make sure communication and collaboration is data driven, yet exceedingly […]
We’ve made notifications even more tangible
When you’re building a platform to make agriculture more productive, usability is key.* *Alongside, of course, real-time reliable data, a robust architecture, and a roadmap actually dictated by customer needs. We want to present growers data on their crops and environments in the various forms they need it in to take action (preventing crop loss (from […]
Royal Norfolk Show: Crops have feelings too
Ask anyone– British agriculture is at a turning point. Increased productivity is a necessity, and data is the driving force behind it. But farmers don’t have time for cumbersome tech that takes forever to deploy and learn to use. Luckily, remote crop-level monitoring doesn’t have to be difficult. We’ll be at the Royal Norfolk Show […]
Solving the food crisis will have to be collaborative
Practically every article about agricultural technology opens with the statistic about how many people we’ll have to feed in X year. (By 2050, a global population of 9.8 billion will demand 70% more food than is consumed today.) So how do we adapt and keep going? Some claim to have the exact answer, but let’s […]
There’s no way we’d miss Cereals 2018 in Cambridgeshire
Smart sensing is transforming agriculture, helping growers make better, quicker decisions based on accurate, real-time information on their crops and environment. It’s for greenhouses, vertical farms, cold storage– and not least of all, for arable farming. That’s why there’s no way we’d miss joining over 20,000 farmers, agronomists and industry professionals on the 13th & […]
