Open Field Monitoring
Open-field agriculture is shaped by constantly changing environmental conditions. AgriSound creates a continuous, landscape-scale record of pollinator activity, crop development and environmental conditions, giving growers and land managers the confidence to make informed decisions throughout flowering.
The Challenge
Understanding Variability at Landscape Scale
Even in contiguous growing areas, no two fields perform the same. Small differences in microclimate, habitat borders and topography create variations in pollinator activity that are difficult to detect.
Without continuous monitoring it is difficult to:
Traditional crop walks and surveys provide valuable snapshots, but they cannot explain how pollination changes across the landscape.
- Understand how pollinator activity varies across large agricultural landscapes.
- Measure the real-world value and ecological impact of wildflower and biodiversity margins.
- Identify underperforming growing areas before yield and quality are affected at harvest.
Connected Data Sources
AgriSound combines multiple sources of environmental, field and operational information into one secure, connected monitoring platform.
- Polly™ Acoustic Monitoring: Continuous measures of pollinator activity alongside climate.
- Smart Tags™ Digital Records: Rapid field observations of growth stage, condition and features.
- Connected Infrastructure: Securely links every sensor, tag, and observation through our platform.
Structured Data
Consistent Data Across Every Field
| Capability / Outcome | Traditional | AgriSound |
|---|---|---|
| Pollination Efficacy | Disconnected spreadsheets and reports | Linked to a structured data model |
| Landscape Performance | Isolated snapshots and surveys | Continuous spatiotemporal metrics |
| Operational Scale | Limited, non-comparable notes | Multi-site regional benchmarking |
Typical Deployment Workflow
Step-by-Step Implementation
Our structured deployments build a clear, multi-season baseline without any disruption to your active land management.
Map the Landscape
Define farms, fields, habitats, monitoring zones and operational boundaries before primary flowering begins.
Deploy Polly Monitoring
Install Polly monitoring devices across representative locations to capture continuous spatiotemporal activity.
Capture Field Records
Use Smart Tags to record crop observations, biodiversity features, habitat conditions and management activities.
Monitor & Improve Performance
Analyse seasonal performance, track pollinator activity alongside climate, and evaluate key land interventions.
Built for Modern Landscape Monitoring
AgriSound combines continuous acoustic monitoring, structured digital field records and connected environmental infrastructure to create a complete picture of pollination at landscape scale, guiding evidence-based decisions across seasons.
