Agri-tech's SMART Sensors

SMART Sensor technology using Narrow Band (NBIoT) to send data from the field to your SMART device

Reduce your labour costs, enhance your produce quality, and reduce your pesticide use, three benefits from the intelligent use of SMART sensors in your business

Uses the latest Narrow Band (NBIoT) technology to send data to the cloud

The new Metos 5 DTU (Data transfer unit) can use the Narrow Band (NBIoT) network, LTE, GSM or come Wifi enabled. The Metos 5 becomes the "Gateway" for all sensor data uploading to Agri-tech's IrrigiX platform.

The key to the success of SMART sensor technology is how the data is presented to the end user - IrrigiX pulls all sensor data into one central location for easy viewing - see our dashboard page

SMART sensor data is sending data to the cloud where our Dashboard updates your secure login every 1/4 hr 24/7 365


Metos 5 DTU with Sentek 30cm Triscan probe - measuring soil / substrate moisture, temperature and condictivity (EC). Probes come in 30cm, 60cm and 90cm lengths with clusters of the three sensors positioned every 10cm

Provides detailed analysis of crop water use, enabling precision irrigation optimising the crop's water demands

Metos 5 With Climate And Rain Gauge

Metos 5 DTU with rain gauge and climate sensor. Climate sensor measuring temperature & humidity. WIth this sensor view VPD (Vapour Pressure Defeicit), Growing Degree Hours, winter chill, Delta-T (indicating optimum conditions for pesticide applications) on the Agri-tech IrrigiX platform

The temperature / humidity sensor also provides the data for the strawberry powdery mildew model.
