Real-time visibility, wherever your land is.
Connected sensors and rural connectivity that bring soil, equipment, livestock and site security data back to one screen — built for the distances and conditions of South African farming.
Farms run on distance. IoT closes it.
A farm can span thousands of hectares with patchy signal, unreliable power and equipment that's expensive to visit in person. Connected sensors and rural links mean you find out about a problem — a dry zone, a fence breach, a failed pump — the moment it happens, not on the next drive-past.
We bring the same infrastructure, connectivity and security discipline we apply to municipalities and enterprises to the agriculture sector — sized and priced for a working farm, not a data centre.
Built for what's actually on your land
Each of these draws on our core Infrastructure, Connectivity and Cyber-Security capabilities — see the full services page for the underlying detail.
Soil & Moisture Monitoring
Sensors track moisture, temperature and irrigation flow so water goes where it's needed, not on a fixed schedule.
Livestock & Asset Tracking
Location and movement data for herds, vehicles and high-value equipment, visible from a phone or the farm office.
Remote Power & Equipment Monitoring
Know when a pump, generator or solar system trips — before it costs you a day's irrigation or a spoiled cold chain.
Rural & Last-Mile Connectivity
Wireless links built to reach where fibre doesn't, so every sensor actually has somewhere to send its data.
Site Security & Surveillance
Connected cameras and access control for stores, sheds and gates, backed by the same monitoring discipline as our SOC clients.
One Dashboard, One Partner
Every sensor and link is provisioned, monitored and supported by Acorn — one accountable partner instead of a shelf of disconnected gadgets.
Start with one problem, not the whole farm.
Most operations start with a single pain point — irrigation, a remote borehole, a security gap — and expand once the data proves its worth. We scope and price it that way: one connected use case first, with a clear path to add the next.
We're taking this to Nampo.
Acorn Technology is exhibiting at Nampo this year — come see the sensors, connectivity and dashboards in person and talk through what would work for your operation. Get in touch and we'll share our stand details closer to the date.
