Technology

We build our own technology.

Sensors, firmware, cloud, apps and AI, designed by our own engineers. It is what all our businesses run on, and it is available for your projects too.

  • One team, sensor to screen
  • Calibrated to NATA standards
  • Updated over the air
  • Encrypted device to cloud

Hardware & devices

Sensors we design, certify and build.

From concept evaluation to volume manufacturing, our engineers design the devices behind MeridianCT and AgrivaCT, and build custom hardware for industry and government.

In production

Device families our businesses run on.

In daily use across our businesses, from commercial kitchens to the paddock.

MeridianCT

Food-safety monitoring devices

LoRaWAN temperature loggers that take plug-in probes, cooldown devices that time-stamp the 60, 21 and 5 °C cooling milestones, handheld probes for spot checks, plus the label printers that complete the kit. All of them work with MeridianCT’s Callisto.

Cloud, apps & AI

One platform, sensor to screen.

Our IoT platform collates data from sensors, cameras, third-party platforms and other sources, and turns it into dashboards for control rooms, PCs and smartphones.

Built in

Everything a deployment needs.

The capabilities every deployment gets, from a single pharmacy to a regional water network.

Alerts that escalate

Near real-time alarms by push notification, with escalation and traffic-light dashboards that show what needs attention.

Dashboards & reports

Dynamic visualisation on desktop and mobile, scheduled and compliance reports, and data for any time period.

Mobile apps

Field teams see live status, receive work orders and record findings with photos from their phones.

Digital forms

Replace paper with unlimited digital forms, and turn submissions into action lists.

API integration

Bring our devices into your own platform through our API, or connect your systems to ours.

Security

Proprietary encryption from device to cloud, with data hosted in Australian data centres for Australian customers.

AI that spots failures before they happen

Analytics and machine learning that earn their place by preventing a loss, not decorating a dashboard.

  • Equipment that explains itself Our algorithms learn each piece of refrigeration equipment and alert to anomalies, such as failures and defrost changes, before they occur. Life Pharmacy Group
  • Plants that optimise themselves Machine learning on aggregated plant data finds optimisation opportunities, cuts downtime and improves energy use across water treatment plants. Yahong Bridge & Hejian
