What you get from day one
LoRaWAN transmission
Kilometres of range with no SIM, no cable and no mobile data subscription.
High autonomy
Solar gateway and battery-powered sensors. Installation does not depend on the grid.
Access from anywhere
The same data on phone, tablet and laptop, from the field or from the office.
Automatic alerts
Threshold crossed, email notification. Official ANM warnings included.
The same plot, different zones. The top of the hill and the base of the slope do not behave alike, and a single farm-wide average hides both.
The decisions that cost money are taken at plot level
A regional forecast is right about the region and wrong about your field.
The nearest official station is 30 km and 200 m of altitude away
Regional forecasts are correct for the region and wrong for your plot.
Irrigation runs on last year’s calendar
Without local measurements, watering follows habit. Either you spend water you did not need, or you notice the stress after the yield is already affected.
Frost arrives before the warning does
On a slope, cold air pools at the bottom. A regional minimum of 2 °C can mean -1 °C in the lower rows, and nobody tells you in time.
The data exists, but nobody reads it
A sensor that only draws a chart is a cost. What you need is interpretation: how much water is missing, how the drought index is trending, what to do this week.
The same widgets you have in the app
Air, soil, rainfall, wind, UV and derived indices, each with its own history and thresholds. Switch the station and watch the readings change.

The sensors measure
SenseCAP devices in the plot read air, soil and rainfall every 10 minutes and transmit over LoRaWAN. Kilometres of range, years of battery.
The gateway forwards
A solar-powered MikroTik gateway collects the packets and pushes them into ChirpStack. No mains power, no wired internet.
The platform computes
Measurements are combined with the Open-Meteo forecast and the nearest official ANM station, then become ET₀, VPD, water balance and drought indices.
You get the answer
A dashboard per plot, email alerts when a threshold is crossed and weekly agronomic recommendations with a stated severity.
Everything listed here already runs in production
No roadmap items presented as features.
Dashboard per station
Four tabs: Now, Sensors, Metrics, Forecast. Station picker, alert banner, sensor health with signal and battery, rainfall and hourly forecast side by side.
Open-Meteo forecast
48 hours hourly and 7 days daily, plus what agronomy needs: ET₀, vapour pressure deficit, solar radiation, dew point, sunrise and sunset.
Drought and water balance
Per zone: drought level, rainfall against cumulated ET₀, the current year against the multi-year average, plus SPEI-30, KBDI, heat days and tropical nights.
Recommendations, not just numbers
A rule engine turns the indices into concrete advice, each one tagged and split into farm-wide recommendations and recommendations for a specific zone.
Plot and zone maps
You draw the plots, place the sensors on the map by dragging, and read each zone by its own geometry rather than by a single farm-wide average.
Alerts, including official ANM warnings
Configurable rules with your own thresholds and severity, email notification, acknowledgement and history, merged with the official meteorological warnings issued for your area.

Sensors that survive a full season outdoors
SenseCAP equipment from Seeed Studio only. One vendor, one LoRaWAN stack, one spare-parts list.
SenseCAP ONE Compact S700
Seven agro-meteorological parameters in one compact housing, with a radar rain gauge and a pyranometer. This is the station we put on a plot when there is only room for one instrument.
Recommended7 agro-meteo parametersRadar rain gaugePyranometerLoRaWAN5 to 6 years of battery at 10 min
S2120, 8-in-1 weather sensor
A complete weather station that speaks LoRaWAN directly, with no separate data logger. The pragmatic choice when you want several measurement points rather than one very good one.
8 parameters in one bodyLoRaWAN directNo separate data logger5 to 6 years of battery at 10 min
S2101, air temperature and humidity
The sensor you place where the weather station cannot reach: inside the canopy, at the bottom of the slope, in the greenhouse, in the storage room.
Air temperatureRelative humidityCanopy, greenhouse or storage mountingLoRaWAN
S2105, soil moisture, temperature and EC
The soil probe that closes the water balance. Without it you know how much rain fell; with it you know how much of it is still there.
Volumetric moistureSoil temperatureElectrical conductivity4 to 5 years of battery at 15 min
What crops it is built for
The same measurements, different thresholds. Every crop has its own set of rules and its own zone on the map.
Viticulture
Cold air pools at the bottom of the slope. Without plot-level measurement there is no way to know where.
Frost alerts and separate data per plot
Orchards
The difference between a lost night and a saved one is measured in minutes of warning.
Frost warning ahead of time, leaf-wetness hours on record
Field crops
The irrigation schedule starts from the state of the soil, not from the calendar.
Per-field water balance, with ET₀ and drought indices
Greenhouses
An air sensor where the weather station cannot reach, under the film.
Temperature and humidity measured inside
Storage and post-harvest
The same temperature and humidity readings, in the storage space.
Continuous monitoring in the storeWhy NordOps
Four product decisions you can verify yourself, not four promises.
The data stays yours
Export at any time. No lock-in on the history you paid to collect.
Documented formulas
Every derived metric shows its formula in the app. You can check the number instead of just believing it.
Off-grid by construction
Solar gateway, sensors on batteries. Installation does not depend on a power line reaching the plot.
Standard hardware
SenseCAP and LoRaWAN, no proprietary protocol. You can buy a spare sensor anywhere.
What farmers say
We do not publish testimonials until we have a full season of data behind them, with the name of the farm and the crop. When they exist, they appear here.
Frequently asked questions
With line of sight between gateway and sensor, the usable range is 8 to 12 km. Over gentle hills or through a mature orchard it drops to 3 to 5 km. In dense forest or between buildings it can fall to 1 to 2 km.
On large farms we mount the gateway on a pole or a silo at 8 to 15 m, which covers most situations from a single central point.
It depends on the reporting interval. At 10 minutes, the standard weather station profile, a lithium thionyl chloride battery lasts 5 to 6 years. At 15 minutes, typical for a soil sensor, 4 to 5 years. At 1 minute, an aggressive profile that is rarely needed, it drops to a year or a year and a half.
Batteries are user-replaceable with a standard pack; you never have to send the device back.
It keeps running. The gateway draws around 5 W, roughly 120 Wh per day, and the 12 V/100 Ah LiFePO4 battery provides about 1 150 usable Wh. That works out to roughly nine days of full autonomy with no contribution from the panel at all.
The 100 W panel only has to cover the daily consumption, not recharge the battery from empty, even in winter it manages that in a few hours of usable light.
Every location is automatically paired with the nearest station of the Romanian National Meteorological Administration. In the app you see the official station’s measurements next to your own sensors, which helps with validation and with any situation where a reading has to be defended to a third party.
We also pull the official meteorological warnings issued for your area from the same source; they appear as alerts in the platform, alongside your own threshold rules.
The hardware is yours once you buy it. For the dashboard, data processing and email alerts there is an annual subscription covering hosting, technical support and updates. There are no per-message or per-sensor charges.
For farms that want full control of their data we also offer a self-hosted deployment on your own server, with no recurring subscription.
Yes, through an API to standard controllers (Netafim, Rain Bird, Valley) over the usual protocols, Modbus or REST.
We recommend starting in passive mode, with alerts and recommendations, and moving to automated control only once the operator trusts the data.
