Tobacco Curing Barn Monitoring & Control System Zimbabwe
Consistent curing, protected leaf, peace of mindOur system watches every barn around the clock, so curing follows the schedule you set — not whatever happened while the shift was asleep.
Curing in November/December 2026? Order remote monitoring by 1 October.
The next install opportunity after that will only be January 2027.The solution
Dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures are continuously monitored at the points you
choose in each barn, alongside kettle temperature and, where it's needed, humidity
— the same readings your curing schedule is built around, just taken automatically
every few minutes instead of on a manual walk-round.
That data travels by long-distance radio from the barn to our control box on
site — the "brain" — and from there up to our cloud database, where you can pull
up any barn's readings in real time from your phone or computer, wherever you are.
The diagram below shows how a reading gets from the barn to your pocket:
Key Benefits
Every barn, every point that matters
Dry bulb, wet bulb, kettle temperature and humidity, tracked at the positions you choose in each barn — not just one reading assumed to represent the whole space.
WhatsApp alerts
The moment a barn drifts outside the bounds you've set, a WhatsApp alert goes straight to whoever's on shift — no need to be standing in front of a screen to catch it.
Physical alarm
Where a phone alert isn't enough, we can trigger a physical alarm on site too, so an out-of-bounds barn gets noticed even if no one's checking their phone at that moment.
Works with your PID controllers
Already curing with PID controllers on your barns? We can often link directly into them — pulling their data into your dashboard, and, where supported, letting you change target temperatures in real time from wherever you are, without walking out to the barn.
