Ostara is a decision-making platform that brings sensors, weather data, and automation together. It gives growers the ability to understand what’s happening in their tunnels and act on those insights in real-time, all from one simple, intuitive interface.

What makes us stand out from the rest is that our system is not a ‘set and forget’, but one that’s constantly improving and being informed by feedback from growers.

If you’re growing in polytunnels and want better control of your environment, we can help. We work on single zones through to complex multi-site operations, and can connect to whatever type of polytunnel, irrigation system, or sensors you might have.

Ostara’s interface enables you to control every aspect of your environment, including temperature, humidity, VPD, irrigation and lighting, and ventilation and climate management. Wherever possible, we work hard to integrate to any kind of hardware, and can build custom integrations where needed.

Ostara can work with any farm from 1ha to 100ha plus.

Yes, you’ll get access to live data via the app from wherever you are.

Ostara is easy to deploy, understand and use. Most growers are up and running within days. We run a virtual or in-person demo, learn about your setup, and show how Ostara can tackle your specific challenges. It’s simple enough to be installed by you, but if needed we’re here to back you up every step of the way. You’ll have live data available in your dashboard almost immediately.

Yes. Let Ostara do the hard work for you by automating control. Ostara simulates how it would automate based on your targets. For example, set your target temperature and humidity in the app, and Ostara adjusts the vents automatically to keep conditions on track.

Sensors inside the tunnel monitor the climate in real time, while an outdoor weather station watches for wind, rain, and frost to protect your structures. We even use weather forecasts to respond ahead of changing conditions, so you don’t have to. Leaving you to get on with other jobs at the same time.

Get customisable push notifications whenever your environment is higher or lower than target, when a safety limit is activated, when there’s a fault in the hardware, or an extreme weather event is incoming. We give you enough forewarning to adjust conditions where necessary.

The integrated analysis of sensor readings saves you on inputs such as fertilisers and water. Costs are further reduced as less labour is needed for manual checks. The live data stream enables you to make faster, more informed decisions, improving efficiency across your whole operation.

Pricing depends on your operation size and which products you need.

Most growers scale when they are ready. Book a demo and we’ll give you a clear quote based on your setup.

Yes. Flexible leasing options are available. We always work with growers to find a pricing structure that works for them, whether that’s up-front investment or a simple monthly fee.

We provide end-to-end services. We integrate automation into your setup, provide the hardware, support install and training, and deliver reports to keep your farm improving

We also provide continuing expert IT support, keeping the technology running reliably and securely, and helping you to manage it effectively.
