Running a dairy farm is full noise. You don’t have time to guess whether the vat is cooling properly or hope the agitator is doing its job - Telemetry solves that.
Agora gives you real-time visibility across your vat, cooling, water and (soon) electricity output. All in one place.
No clutter. No digging. Just a clean, easy-to-read dashboard that shows you exactly what’s happening on your farm.
Below is a breakdown of the Agora solution and what we measure today, what’s coming next and how our tech works under the hood.
What We Monitor Today
1. Vat Level Monitoring (Milk Level Sensors)
Milk level telemetry lets you see your volume live and stay ahead of pickups.
Accurate vat level readings
Helps with tanker collection planning
Highlights unexpected drops or overflow risk
2. Vat Temperature Monitoring (Milk Temperature Sensors)
Milk quality starts with temperature control.
Real-time temperature readings
Tracks cooling curves each milking
Alerts when cooling starts to slip
3. Milk-to-Vat Temperature (Cooling Plate Performance)
We monitor the milk coming off the cooling plate to give you a full view of cooling performance.
Spot inefficiencies early
Pinpoint plant issues fast
Understand cooling before milk hits the vat
4. Agitator Status Monitoring
The agitator is small but critical. We track its behaviour so you know it’s running when it should.
Confirms correct cycling
Reduces fat separation risks
Alerts when it stops unexpectedly
Coming Soon: Water + chiller Telemetry
This is where the dashboard becomes even more powerful.
Water Level & Flow Rate Monitoring
Water is one of the easiest things to lose track of on the farm.
Telemetry fixes that.
Live water usage
Leak detection
Flow rate insights
Usage breakdowns for compliance and sustainability
Electricity Output & Chiller Performance Monitoring
The chiller is the backbone of your cooling system. A failure here is costly.
Our new electricity output monitoring will let you:
Track how your chiller is performing
See power load changes in real time
Get early warning signs before your chiller fails
Reduce the risk of milk loss
Improve energy efficiency across your shed
All in One Dashboard
Here’s the best part. Everything you’ve just read: milk, cooling, water, chiller performance all shows up on one tidy, clean, easy-to-read dashboard.
No jumping between apps
No cluttered screens
No complicated menus
Just clear on-farm telemetry data in a layout anyone can understand.
How the Tech Works (IoT + LoRaWAN)
Under the hood, our system runs on IoT technology paired with LoRaWAN connectivity. This is what keeps everything reliable on rural farms.
IoT sensors collect real-time data from your vat, cooling plate, water lines and (soon) chiller output
LoRaWAN sends that data long distances with low power
Everything updates live inside your Agora dashboard
It’s built for rural conditions, tough weather and big distances.
Support That Makes a Difference
Good telemetry isn’t just about sensors. It’s about knowing you’ve got someone to call when something feels off.
Our farmers tell us how valuable it is having a local Kiwi team who answers the phone and gets things sorted fast. If a sensor needs checking, if data looks odd, or if something needs replacing, we move quickly.
Fast troubleshooting
Clear, practical guidance
Quick replacement hardware when needed
It’s simple. Reliable technology backed by people who genuinely care about keeping your shed running smoothly.

We’re about to open the next intake of farms for our upcoming water and electricity telemetry rollout. Spaces are limited so we can install and support each site properly.
