Field-tested monitoring for South African sites
DataDam reports live sensor readings to one dashboard and keeps recording through load-shedding and patchy signal, catching up the moment the connection is back. Start with the weather station and the ready-made modules below, or tell us what you're running and we'll build it out.
Running today
Every card below runs on the same core: sense, store, send. What changes is what's built on top.
A solar-powered weather station reporting local conditions to your dashboard, no mains power or fixed internet required.
Recipe-to-glass brewing production, built on the same core that runs your telemetry.
Herd management for commercial farms — herds, camps, vaccination schedules and the grazing math behind them.
Firearm & ammunition vault compliance for licensed dealers — vaults, customers and the SAPS register.
HACCP temperature & humidity compliance for fridges, freezers and cold rooms.
Alarm monitoring and guard patrols for premises — armed state, triggers and the access log in one place.
GPS-segmented trips for every vehicle on a GSM Tracker, tagged business or private automatically.
Apiaries and hives with scale-driven swarm alerts, through to honey ready for Brew Butler.
Fence-line monitoring, patrols and the poaching incident register for reserves.
EU citrus export compliance on orchard land — from orchard registration to a certified consignment.
A personal SARS mileage logbook for professionals — start/stop trip capture from your phone.
How it works
Every DataDam device follows the same path from field to screen. Nothing waits on a perfect connection.
Sensors take a reading on the interval you set — every minute, every five, whatever the job needs.
Where it applies, a linked device acts on the reading on-site — a fermentation chamber holding temperature, a cold room suppressing a defrost breach — without checking in first.
Readings queue on the device until a connection is available, then upload over whatever's on hand.
Data lands in one dashboard with its original timestamp, not the time it happened to arrive.
One platform underneath
Weather station, Brew Butler, Shepherd's Watch, Vault Guard, or any of the newer modules — it all shows up in one place, alongside device status and history. Add a new device and it's another feed on the same screen, not a separate app.
Built to keep recording
A dropped connection shouldn't mean lost data. DataDam holds onto every reading and knows when something's actually wrong, instead of quietly going quiet.
Sensor nodes store readings locally and retry automatically if a transmission fails, instead of discarding them.
Every reading keeps the time it was actually measured, not the time it happened to upload.
Alerts for a device going offline, a failing sensor, or a low battery, so a quiet station never reads the same as a healthy one.
One sensor network
New metrics and device types land on the core platform first, so every module above can use them as soon as they exist.
