- IoT low power wide area RF networks can now provide connectivity to small battery powered sensors to monitor small changes in pressure (on rigs) or land movements (in mines) across vast areas of land
- IoT software powered by AI can now provide actionable data when provided with adequate data points to dramatically reduce unplanned downtime and avoid site accidents
- Satellite services provide data connectivity to regions where natural resource extraction occurs and no cellular coverage is typically available in the Middle East and Africa.

Problems solved for customers by MinFarm
Natural resource management companies can not use many IoT or satellite technologies that are available ‘off the shelf’ today. These companies have specific requirements that require these technologies to be modified, including
- Total privacy of network, including in-country or private network hosting of data
- Onsite hazardous and extreme environments including explosive environments, extreme weather environments, and no grid power
- Large embedded systems of existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) devices and servers that require communication and interoperability with any new IoT or satellite technologies deployed
- Involved face to face project management, company relationships, proven field tests and industry recognised certifications.
