You know that partial data can lead to partial conclusions. But collecting continuous, high-resolution measurements across complex terrain isn’t easy. Manual measurements cost time and labor. Disconnected sensors mean fragmented datasets. And troubleshooting drift, power issues, or inconsistent formats can eat weeks you don’t have.
Meanwhile, meaningful shifts in canopy stress, soil moisture, or microclimate can pass unnoticed, right when it matters most.
A monitoring system shouldn’t take a semester to deploy, or a team to maintain. Whether you’re outfitting a single research plot or coordinating across continents, METER systems are built for fast, easy installation and scalability.
Here’s how we help you move forward:
Choose sensors tailored to your site: soil moisture, water potential, PAR, NDVI, microclimate, and more, all interoperable
Install quickly with rugged hardware designed for repeat deployments in real field conditions
Stream data directly to ZENTRA Cloud: no field downloads, no lost measurements, no spreadsheets to stitch together
Visualize trends in real time to catch early shifts, compare treatments, and validate models faster

LABROS is an innovative collection of soil laboratory instruments, each designed to work individually or as part of a larger, automated system. Conduct automated particle size analysis and measure soil moisture release curves, saturated and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, and thermal conductivity from a single sample.
Directly measure indicators and causes of plant stress rather than relying on intuition or qualitative assessments of your crops and canopy with cost-effective solutions from METER.
Measure the photosynthetic activity of your plants using simple, labor-saving instruments, and better understand the health and lifecycle of your canopy.
Measuring the microclimate with a weather station provides comprehensive data on local atmospheric conditions that directly affect plant and soil processes. Weather stations collect detailed information on temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, and solar radiation, all of which influence soil moisture levels, evaporation rates, and soil temperature.
Monitor plant lifecycles more precisely with METER solutions. Cloud-connected sensors allow you to monitor data remotely, while easy-to-use handheld devices make site visits more efficient.
Customize your data collection and logging solution by combining multiple METER sensors with the ZL6 Data Logger and ZENTRA Cloud. ZENTRA stores your data in the cloud, allowing easy access to your data and near-real-time reports from all of your data loggers.
Avoid costly field visits by accessing your data from any web-connected device. Analyze it with ZENTRA Cloud’s built-in visualization tools, and easily share insights without tracking down log files on individual computers.
Streamline your laboratory analyses and reduce human error using the innovative LABROS soil science laboratory collection. Perform automated particle size analysis, generate soil moisture release curves, or measure thermal and hydraulic conductivity with METER laboratory instruments designed to produce accurate analyses in a fraction of the time of other methods.
Even better, LABROS instruments can be combined to perform all of these analyses from a single sample, saving time and reducing measurement errors due to variations in sample characteristics.
