The same sensor pack and the same dashboard run our hydroponic systems, our greenhouse builds, and the IoT Subscription our open-field farmers buy. The IoT Subscription is the product line that opens this platform up to traditional row-crop, orchard, vineyard, and pasture operators — without the controlled-environment build alongside it. Same firmware. Same dashboard. Different acreage.
For open-field operators — row crop, orchard, vineyard, pasture, mixed. The IoT Subscription is a recurring service that puts the eVamb sensor pack across the field, ties the readings into the dashboard, and keeps the firmware, the dashboard, and the hardware refresh inside one fee. There is no upfront capital line item.
What ships with every Subscription: a sized soil-sensor deployment (one node per management zone, three- to five-year battery life), a climate sensor at the field edge, an LPWAN gateway where coverage requires it, and a satellite-IoT fallback option for properties outside LPWAN range. What is included with every Subscription: dashboard access, multi-tenant operator support, software updates, and sensor replacement under warranty.
The Subscription is priced three ways. Per hectare, billed monthly. Per management zone, where the operator wants more granular pricing. Or per crop season, for operators who only run sensors during the growing window. Every pricing model includes the dashboard and the firmware refresh — the variable is the sensor count and the contract length.
| Pricing model | Best fit | Billed |
|---|---|---|
| Per hectare | Whole-farm deployments — row crop, orchard, vineyard, pasture | Monthly |
| Per management zone | Variable-rate operators who manage at the zone level | Monthly |
| Per crop season | Operators running sensors only during the growing window | Per season |
Three sensor families, all on the same connectivity backbone. The soil pack measures moisture, temperature, electrical conductivity, and pH at the root zone — all on a single battery-powered node with three-to-five-year battery life. The climate sensors handle ambient temperature, humidity, CO₂, and vapour pressure deficit for indoor and greenhouse environments.
The vision sensors run only on the controlled-environment systems — the hydroponic walls, the vertical racks, the commercial NFT benches. On-device growth-stage classification, trained out-of-the-box for leafy greens and herbs, with custom training available for unusual crops. Edge inference means only metadata leaves the site — no live video upstream, no privacy footprint.
The soil pack ships in both deployment paths. A controlled-environment customer gets it as part of the build. A traditional farm running the IoT Subscription gets the same hardware and the same firmware delivered as a service. The sensors do not care whether the root is in coco coir or in clay loam — the platform treats the readings identically.
Discuss a sensor deployment →Every sensor ships with LoRaWAN and Sigfox radios on board, with a cellular fallback for sites without a usable LPWAN gateway nearby. The default protocol stack is open. The default firmware is offline-first — devices buffer locally and sync when the link returns.
For traditional farms with no LPWAN gateway in range, a satellite-IoT fallback option is available. Industry forecasts expect the global satellite-IoT subscriber base to roughly triple between 2024 and 2032 — for remote Canadian farms, that timeline matters.
The same edge controllers, the same connectivity stack, and the same multi-tenant SaaS backbone run the eVamb Energy chargers and battery storage on the other side of the company. One technology team. Two divisions. Every additional sensor sold strengthens the platform under both.
The other division on the same stack →Yield in pounds harvested. Water consumed. Fertiliser dosed. Energy used. Crop-stage progression across every system. The dashboard is the same whether you operate one tabletop unit at home or thirty commercial NFT benches across a region — and the underlying data model is shared with the Energy division's dashboards as well.
For IoT Subscription customers, the same dashboard surfaces irrigation scheduling, variable-rate fertiliser zones, and pest- and disease-risk windows. For controlled-environment customers, the dashboard surfaces fertigation dosing, climate set-points, and yield-stage progression. One dashboard, two operator personas, the same data model underneath both.
API access is included for operators who want to pull telemetry into their own systems. Webhooks for harvest events, alarm conditions, and growth-stage transitions. The platform doesn't try to be the system of record for the operator's business. It tries to be reliable enough that everything else can plug in.

Enel X runs one digital platform across charging, renewables, and demand response. Shared platform teams are the standard structure for multi-division cleantech companies — because every sensor sold and every site commissioned makes the next one cheaper to deliver. eVamb runs the same playbook — across hydroponic, greenhouse, and traditional farming, and across the energy stack on the other side of the company.
For operators evaluating the platform standalone, traditional farmers asking about the soil pack, integrators considering sensor resale, and partners exploring API access — start the conversation here.
