Merit-IoT
Agricultural Computing.
Real-time farm insight without the lock-in.
Affordable, open, multilingual sensors and dashboards for small and mid-sized farms. Built in Halifax. Your data stays yours.
We turn complexity into clarity — giving farmers, students, and communities the confidence to act.
We’ve seen what happens when technology overwhelms. Merit-IoT is building a different path: tools that are clear, humane, and resilient. From greenhouses to classrooms to rural communities, every grower deserves the right to grow, and every community deserves technology that works with them, not against them.
Our innovation is in the system, not the circuit board. By combining secure firmware, open protocols, and multilingual dashboards with a privacy-first design, Merit-IoT delivers technology that fits the way farmers already work — practical, reliable, and built for long-term trust.

Merit-IoT Offers the Following Benefits
- Irrigate with confidence, no guesswork. Save water and cut energy costs with precise readings from your own field.
- Spot crop stress before it costs you yield. Get ahead of wilting, disease, or drought stress so you can act early and protect your harvest.
- Track your inputs. Know at a glance when and where you applied your processes. Less paperwork. Less manual journaling.
- Stay free to farm your way. Open standards, no hidden fees, no vendor lock-ins means no second guessing.
We use community-based standards (LoRa, MQTT, JSON) so your gear can outlast any single platform.

Merit-IoT Puts Farmers First
We support the client's autonomy and ownership over their own data security and privacy. Merit-IoT does not prescribe inputs or take control of your operation.
- The farmer controls all choice of seed, inputs, storage, and marketing.
- We never track behavior or sell personal data.
- Your farm, your data, your decisions.
Where the Innovation Lies
We configure proven hardware with secure firmware, long-range connectivity, and multilingual dashboards, all tied together with open standards such as LoRa, MQTT, and JSON. What makes us different is that these systems are farmer-driven: designed to protect autonomy, safeguard data, and fit directly into the working conditions of small and mid-sized farms. Our model is technical integration plus community trust, and that is our defensible advantage, and the reason partners and growers choose to work with us.
