Modern beef and dairy cattle farm with centre pivot, reservoir, silos and water tanks
End-to-end visibility from animal to infrastructure

Cattle Farm Monitoring & Production Intelligence

Connect beef and dairy production, milk cooling, feed, livestock water, pivots, irrigation, reservoirs, tanks, silos and critical farm equipment in one live monitoring and alerting platform.

Beef & Dairy

Animals, housing, parlours, milk cooling and production environments.

Feed & Water

Silos, troughs, tanks, flow and consumption with early alerts.

Pivots & Irrigation

Position, state, pressure, flow, soil moisture and pump visibility.

Farm Resilience

Power, energy, generators, fuel, pumps and communications.

One Platform Across The Cattle Operation

Start with a critical risk such as milk cooling, livestock water or pump status, then expand across animals, production areas, grazing, crops and farm infrastructure.

Beef Production

Improve visibility across breeding herds, calves, grazing camps, feedlots and handling facilities.

  • Animal identification, supported activity and location data
  • Camp, kraal, shed and feedlot conditions
  • Livestock water availability and consumption
  • Feed supply, weighing and production integrations

Dairy Production

Monitor the conditions and utilities that support milking, animal comfort and milk quality.

  • Bulk milk tank and cooling-cycle temperature
  • Parlour, holding area and housing conditions
  • Wash-water temperature, flow and tank levels
  • Vacuum, compressor, chiller and power status

Land, Water & Feed

Connect the resources that sustain the herd and produce grazing, forage and silage.

  • Centre pivots, irrigation valves, pumps and flow
  • Soil moisture, rainfall and weather conditions
  • Reservoir, dam, borehole and tank levels
  • Feed silos, grain bins and silage storage

Manage by exception

Know What Needs Attention Before The Daily Inspection

Continuous readings and connected equipment states help teams prioritise real problems, verify corrective action and reduce the gaps between manual checks.

Animal welfare

Heat-load, housing, water, activity and supported health indicators.

Milk protection

Cooling temperatures, plant state, power and excursion alerts.

Resource continuity

Water, feed, fuel and energy availability across remote assets.

Equipment uptime

Pumps, pivots, chillers, fans, generators and controller faults.

Live farm exceptions

Milk Tank 01: Cooling Temperature High

Product temperature has remained above the configured limit.

North Reservoir: Level Low

Remaining volume is below the irrigation reserve threshold.

Pivot 03: Flow Without Movement

Irrigation team notified by WhatsApp and email.

Cattle Farm Sensors & Connected Devices

Choose the measurements and equipment connections that address current risks, then add more devices on the same platform.

Animal Tags & Identification

Connect supported Bluetooth, RFID or GPS devices for identification, activity, movement and location events.

Housing Environment

Monitor temperature, humidity, heat-load risk and conditions in sheds, kraals and holding areas.

Air Quality & Ventilation

Track CO2, optional gases, airflow, fan operation and ventilation performance.

Weights & Production Data

Integrate supported livestock scales, milk-production records and management systems.

Milk Cooling

Monitor bulk tank product temperature, cooling cycles, chillers and power continuity.

Parlour & Wash Systems

Track hot-water temperature, wash tanks, flow, pressure and cleaning-system states.

Feed Silos & Grain Bins

Measure feed or grain levels and trigger low-level and refill alerts.

Silage & Feed Storage

Monitor storage conditions, inventory inputs and supported temperature probes.

Reservoirs, Dams & Tanks

Track level, estimated volume, refill rate and unexpected water loss.

Troughs & Livestock Water

Confirm water availability, flow, consumption and abnormal-use patterns.

Centre Pivots

Monitor run state, position, movement, direction, fault inputs and irrigation progress.

Irrigation Flow & Pressure

Track pump state, line pressure, flow, total usage and valve position.

Soil Moisture

Measure multiple depths to guide grazing, pasture, fodder and crop irrigation.

Weather & Rainfall

Monitor rain, temperature, humidity, wind and other supported weather inputs.

Electricity & Energy Meters

Track kW, kWh, voltage, current, power factor and phase health.

Pumps, Motors & Controllers

Read running, stopped, alarm and fault states from critical farm equipment.

Generators & Backup Power

Monitor mains failure, generator state, faults, batteries and readiness.

Fuel & Diesel Levels

Track generator, pump and bulk-storage fuel with low-level alerts.

Gates, Doors & Security

Monitor access points, electric-fence outputs and supported security events.

Cameras & Integrations

Add visual verification and connect data from existing farm systems through APIs.

From Water Source To Trough, Pivot And Pasture

Use one LoRaWAN network to connect remote water and agricultural assets without relying on farm-wide Wi-Fi.

Source

Boreholes, dams, reservoirs, abstraction pumps and source-water levels.

Storage

Header tanks, drinking-water tanks, process water and refill performance.

Distribution

Pumps, valves, pressure, flow, pipelines, pivots and trough supply.

Outcome

Soil moisture, weather, irrigation history and livestock consumption trends.

Connectivity For Buildings, Camps And Remote Fields

Use the right connection for each sensor and manage every reading, state and alert in one cloud platform.

LoRaWAN

Long-range, low-power coverage for tanks, silos, pivots, fields, sheds and water infrastructure.

Bluetooth & RFID

Close-range animal identification and supported tag, beacon or reader applications.

Cellular

Standalone connectivity for remote camps, vehicles or sites beyond gateway coverage.

Dry Contact, Modbus & API

Connect existing controllers, meters and farm systems where supported.

Alerts Routed To The Right Team

Configure limits and delays by herd, building, camp, tank, pivot or asset. Escalate unresolved events and retain the complete history.

  • WhatsApp, Telegram, email and in-app alerts
  • High, low, fault, power-loss and no-data events
  • Low-battery and communications alerts
  • Role-based recipients, schedules and escalation rules

Alerts with operational context

  1. 1A sensor or connected controller reports an exception.
  2. 2The platform applies the asset's threshold, delay and schedule.
  3. 3The responsible livestock, dairy, irrigation or maintenance team is notified.
  4. 4Live trends confirm whether corrective action restored normal operation.

Dashboards For Daily Farm Management

Move from isolated readings to a site-wide view of livestock, dairy, feed, water, crops, energy and equipment.

Maps & Floorplans

View farms, camps, buildings, water networks and current asset state.

Production Trends

Compare conditions, milk cooling, consumption and supported production data.

Resource Reporting

Review feed, water, irrigation, energy, fuel and equipment runtime.

Reports & API

Export records or integrate monitoring data with existing farm systems.

Start Focused. Expand Farm-Wide.

Deploy a practical first phase around the most valuable risks and use the same platform for future devices and sites.

1

Survey

Map buildings, camps, water sources, pivots, silos, utilities, existing controllers and communications.

2

Connect

Install gateways, sensors and equipment interfaces, then configure users, limits and alerts.

3

Improve

Use trends and exceptions to improve response time, resource use, uptime and production visibility.

Common Questions

Can the platform support both beef and dairy farms?

Yes. Monitoring can be configured around beef herds, feedlots, dairy housing, parlours, milk cooling, feed, water and shared farm infrastructure.

Can we connect existing pivots, pumps and controllers?

Often, yes. Supported run, alarm, fault, pulse, analogue, Modbus or API outputs can be connected after the equipment interface is assessed.

Can one LoRaWAN network cover buildings and remote fields?

A correctly designed network can cover many buildings and field assets. Gateway placement is confirmed from terrain, distance, structures and required redundancy.

What can animal tags monitor?

Capabilities depend on the chosen device and infrastructure. Options may include identification, activity, movement, temperature-related data, location or zone events.

Can we start with milk tanks, water or pivots only?

Yes. The solution is modular, so a first phase can focus on one high-value use case and expand later without creating a separate monitoring platform.
