Terrin monitors your crops continuously — tracking temperature, soil moisture, and early disease — and sends you what matters through the channels you already use.
Terrin is a small, solar-powered device that moves between crop rows. It reads temperature, humidity, and soil moisture continuously. Its camera scans leaves for early signs of disease as it works through the field.
It runs on sunlight. It connects over WiFi. When something changes — a temperature spike, soil drying out, a leaf that looks wrong — it tells you through WhatsApp. No app. No login. No behaviour change.
Every reading is logged and builds over seasons. A growing record of how your particular field behaves: which rows dry fastest, when disease risk peaks, what normal looks like.
When Terrin identifies something, a WhatsApp message arrives — a photo from the device camera, the row and plant location, what was detected, and what it might indicate. The farmer decides what to do.
For agronomists managing multiple farms, all alerts consolidate into a single view — one line per farm, status at a glance. No setup, no training.
Once a week, Terrin generates a one-page field report: temperature range, soil moisture trend, any anomalies flagged. Delivered to WhatsApp as a PDF. Printable. Suitable for farm visits or client briefings.
API access available for insurers, lenders, and enterprise integrations. Timestamped, geotagged, verifiable.
Every reading is stored. Over time, Terrin builds a detailed log — useful for planning, insurance evidence, agronomic decisions, and understanding why seasons differ.
Every approach to farm monitoring has a different set of trade-offs. Here is how Terrin sits against the tools farmers and agronomists currently use.
