ClimateMinder is a wireless climate monitoring and control system for agriculture. It utilizes machine-to-machine (M2M) mobile network technology to transmit actionable data from the field directly to growers' mobile phones, computers and control systems.
The mobile technology enables farmers to receive alerts to conditions that may threaten crops and to take timely action - even when located at great distances from fields and greenhouses.

ClimateMinder puts growers in control of the environmental and climate variables that impact the ultimate success of production. By monitoring and controlling to measured conditions in the facility, ClimateMinder can increase productivity and product quality, optimize growth patterns, shorten time-to-market, save water and reduce cost for nutrients and pest control.

At the heart of system is ClimateMinder's patent-pending, GrowFlex™ technology which consists of two pieces (1) a self-organizing, battery or solar powered, sensor network in the field and (2) a wireless data connection to cellular data network - the same one available on your mobile phone. GrowFlex™ provides growers maximum deployment flexibility. Unlike other systems that require major field infrastructure, ClimateMinder, does not require a PC in field facilities and does not require deployment of wires between sensor nodes and Controller nodes, isolating potential damage from electromagnetic disturbances. A suite of environment sensors are available and have been certified for ClimateMinder.
