Weather Monitoring Built for Vineyard Precision
Frost timing, disease pressure and irrigation decisions all depend on accurate, block-level weather data, especially across vineyards where conditions can shift within a few hundred metres. OCM builds rugged field sensor hardware for vineyards across variable terrain and microclimates.
Built for Vineyard Conditions
Vineyards are more sensitive to microclimate variation than most crops. Slope, elevation and canopy structure mean frost risk, humidity and airflow can differ across a single property, and a regional forecast rarely tells the full story.
Frost Monitoring & Protection
Real-time temperature tracking gives early warning of frost risk during budburst and early growth, buying time to act before vines are damaged.
Disease Risk & Leaf Wetness
Humidity and leaf wetness data flag the conditions that drive powdery mildew, downy mildew and botrytis, supporting better-timed, lower-input spray programs.
Irrigation & Evapotranspiration
Evapotranspiration data paired with soil moisture monitoring sharpens irrigation timing and helps avoid both water stress and over-irrigation.
Block-Level, Remote Access
Larger or varied vineyards often need more than one station to capture block-level differences, all viewable from a single dashboard on OCM's weather station platform.
Why OCM
We design and build agricultural IoT hardware engineered for reliability in tough, remote Australian conditions. That engineering standard, rugged hardware, flexible connectivity and a usable cloud dashboard, transfers directly to vineyard monitoring needs.
