IoT Waikato Meetup provides another opportunity to connect
The second IoT Waikato Meetup saw the discussion expand from sensors, connectivity, and development, to data and incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning to explore real opportunities to enable synergy between the physical and digital worlds.
We reached a Milestone with our IoT systems!
We have developed very effective sensor networks and systems in the past, but have been tampering with a new emphasis on smaller modular IoT enabled systems. The purpose of these smaller systems is to create modular units with a specific functionality that can be used in numerous different applications, whilst the cost is kept really […]

Use of real time remote sensors to measure water quality at a farm scale
Sensors that will measure various water quality parameter will be installed in a subcatchment area, where a water way can be attributed to a farm. These sensors will collect data 24/7 in real time, and over time, will provide information to the farmers on their farms contribution to the quality of the receiving waterways. These […]
Farm Environment Plans to Improve Water Quality
A baseline project to link actions by sheep and beef farmers to environmental improvements in the Waipa catchment. This project will use drones to map the farms, and GIS to analyse the maps to help farmers engage, identify and recognize land management units on their farms. We will then work with them to develop Farm […]
Interactive Health Research – Trial Village
The nexus of clinical, nutrition, and exercise in health-related trials Often health and wellness experiments and trials monitor only a limited set of data. At our IHR Trial Village we can provide and monitor a wide range of interventions and monitor an equally wide range of data to inform the analysis of impact of the […]
Smart community vegetable gardening – A first update
We are currently busy with the background work for our Smart community gardening project, funded by Curious Minds. We are starting with a base of about 30 very enthusiastic secondary school students in Cambridge, New Zealand. When we applied for the funding, we saw an opportunity to transfer some of the knowledge we gained in […]
