Meadar provides intelligent 24/7 monitoring for aquaculture, agriculture, and remote industry across New Zealand and the Pacific. Backed by decades of real industry experience — not just technology.
We're working with our first customers to shape the service around real operational needs. If you're in aquaculture or farming and open to a conversation, we'd love to visit your site — at no obligation.
Our team doesn't come from a tech startup. We come from the industries we serve — with the technical capability to build something genuinely useful.
Hands-on operational experience in NZ salmon farming, mussel aquaculture, and large-scale pastoral farming. We understand the pressures, the rhythms, and the things that go wrong at 2am on a Sunday.
Decades of NZ industry experienceEnterprise-grade database and business intelligence expertise, built across major banks and agribusiness companies. We know how to turn messy, high-volume sensor data into decisions, not just dashboards.
Large-scale enterprise BI backgroundWe build our own platform. From sensor data ingestion and normalisation through to alerting logic and reporting, the Meadar stack is designed and maintained in-house by people who understand the operational context.
Full-stack development capabilityWe're hardware-agnostic — we connect to whatever sensors make sense for your operation, and take it from there. No technical expertise required on your end.
We come to you. Our team visits your operation anywhere in New Zealand to understand your specific environment, risks, and what meaningful monitoring looks like for your situation.
We recommend and help deploy the right sensors — weather stations, water quality probes, rope load monitors, gate and IR security sensors, cameras. Solar-powered and connected via cellular, radio, or satellite.
Your data flows into the Meadar platform. Our team watches your sites around the clock with alert logic tuned to your specific baselines. You're contacted when it matters — not for every sensor blip.
Regular intelligence reports, trend analysis, and seasonal benchmarking turn your accumulated data into genuine operational insight. The longer you're with Meadar, the more valuable your data becomes.
From offshore mussel farms to high-country stations, Meadar is designed for operations where having someone on-site permanently isn't practical — or necessary.
Replace costly on-site overnight and weekend monitoring staff without reducing coverage. Water quality, pen integrity, site security, and environmental compliance — continuously watched.
Rope load monitoring, buoy depth sensors, and AI-assisted camera analysis give early warning before a rope becomes a crisis. Harmful algal bloom tracking integrated with NIWA data feeds.
Weather stations, soil moisture, gate monitoring, water trough levels, and stock security across your whole property. Know what's happening without needing to be there.
Mining, energy, and infrastructure in remote locations require continuous environmental and equipment monitoring for regulatory compliance, safety, and operational continuity.
Tidal, wave, and weather monitoring for port operations, coastal infrastructure, and marine farms. Integrated with MetService and NIWA feeds for comprehensive situational awareness.
Satellite-connected monitoring for operations beyond cellular coverage. Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and beyond — the same platform, the same team, wherever the data originates.
We don't sell boxes. We provide the confidence that experienced people are watching your operation, and will tell you when something needs your attention.
Our team has worked in aquaculture and agribusiness — not just built software for it. That means our alerting logic and reporting reflects operational reality, not just sensor thresholds.
A gate open at 2am is not the same as one open at 7am. We tune your monitoring to your patterns so you're called when it matters — not at every sensor event.
Every reading is stored and yours indefinitely. After a season of data, we can start identifying patterns. After several, your history becomes a genuine operational asset.
We work with whatever sensors make sense for your environment and budget. We're not locked to a specific brand or technology stack, and neither are you.
The staffing cost argument is direct: if Meadar can replace the overnight and weekend monitoring role of one or two staff members, the ROI is immediate and straightforward. Your remaining team works safer hours, your operation has better coverage, and you have a full audit trail for regulatory and insurance purposes.
Rope load events during weather often happen faster than a physical check allows. Early warning monitoring — combined with NIWA sea state data — means you make decisions with time to act, not after the fact. We're also developing AI-assisted camera monitoring specifically for aquaculture environments.
As a founding customer you'll work directly with our team to shape the service. We'll visit your site, understand your specific needs, and build the monitoring programme around your operation — not a generic template.
Our team is available for on-site visits throughout NZ. Understanding your operation in person is how we get the monitoring right.
Whether you're ready to talk specifics or just want to understand what's possible for your operation, we'd love to hear from you.
