TerraWave

What TerraWave does

TerraWave is a Winnipeg, Manitoba-based agtech company founded in 2023 that applies radio-wave and radar sensing technology—originally developed for biomedical imaging—to agricultural monitoring. The company builds rugged, solar-powered IoT gateways with modular sensors (headspace CO2, temperature, humidity, static pressure) that mount on grain bins and stream data to a cloud-connected mobile app and desktop dashboard, enabling real-time inventory tracking, early spoilage detection, and condition monitoring across bins holding 2,500 to 1M bushels. Beyond the core bin-monitoring gateway, TerraWave offers TerraSense (a soil analysis platform covering compaction, topsoil depth, salinity, moisture, and organic matter), an in-development Flow-Through Grain Moisture Meter that measures moisture as grain moves through an auger, and an in-development wave-based spoilage detection system.

The company generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of IoT gateways and modular sensors (quote-based pricing), SaaS subscriptions to its monitoring app and dashboard, and technology licensing to Cloud7 Weather, a co-founded precision agriculture platform that commercialized in May 2026 across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta with Ronin Agronomy as the primary field partner. Cloud7 Weather packages are publicly priced starting at $999 per year versus traditional systems costing $3,000 to $6,500+. TerraWave sells primarily through direct website contact, supplemented by event-driven engagement (AgDays trade show in Brandon, Manitoba) and the Cloud7/Ronin channel partnership, serving grain farmers, Prairie agricultural operations, and sustainability-focused producers as its primary customer segments.

Core offering

TerraWave builds radio-wave and radar sensing systems combined with rugged, solar-powered IoT gateways that stream grain bin and field data to the cloud. Its core offerings are physical sensor/gateway hardware paired with a mobile and desktop monitoring platform that delivers real-time grain condition, inventory, and spoilage alerts for farmers and Prairie agricultural operations. The company also co-founded Cloud7 Weather, an on-farm weather station network serving Western Canada.

Product overview

TerraWave is an ag-tech company offering a portfolio of radio-wave sensing systems and IoT products for agriculture. The core offerings include: (1) TerraWave IoT Gateway — a rugged solar-powered gateway for grain bin monitoring with modular sensors for headspace CO2, temperature, humidity, and static pressure; (2) TerraSense — a soil analysis platform for compaction, moisture, salinity, and organic matter evaluation; (3) Flow-Through Grain Moisture Meter (Flowthrough MC) — an in-development hands-free device measuring grain moisture in real time during auger operations; and (4) Cloud7 Weather — a co-founded precision agriculture platform delivering on-farm weather stations across Western Canada. Products stream data to the TerraWave mobile app and desktop dashboard. Some features like Wave-Based Spoilage Detection and Wireless Spoilage Detection are still in development.

Direct peers

• OPIsystems: Canadian grain bin monitoring specialist using cable-based temperature and moisture cables. The dominant incumbent that TerraWave's wireless radar approach explicitly aims to disrupt.
• IntraGrain Technologies: Canadian grain bin monitoring company (acquired by AGI) selling the BIN-SENSE product. Direct competitor serving Prairie grain farmers with similar monitoring use cases.
• CropX: Precision agriculture sensor and soil analytics company with in-field sensors and a SaaS platform. Overlaps with TerraWave's TerraSense soil analysis and IoT gateway offerings.
• Davis Instruments: Long-established manufacturer of professional on-farm weather stations. Directly competes with Cloud7 Weather's hardware in the same target market at higher price points ($3,000-$6,500+).
• Bushel: Grain industry platform providing inventory management, contracts, and marketing tools. Overlaps with TerraWave's live inventory tracking and grain data dashboard offering.
• Sensaphone: Remote monitoring systems for agriculture and industrial facilities including grain storage. Direct competitor in wireless remote condition monitoring for bins.

Emerging players

• Taranis: AI-powered precision agriculture company using aerial imagery and field-level analytics. Competes with TerraSense in soil/crop analytics but approaches via satellite and drone imaging rather than radar.

Broad incumbents

• Semios: Larger precision agriculture platform offering sensor networks, weather, pest modeling, and farm management for permanent crops. Adjacent competitor with overlapping IoT and weather capabilities.
• Climate FieldView (Bayer): Bayer-owned precision agriculture platform with broad farmer adoption. Competes as a bundled incumbent in farm data and analytics, posing a long-term threat if it expands into in-bin or weather sensing.
• AGCO / Grain & Protein: AGCO's grain division (formerly GSI) is a major supplier of grain bins and storage infrastructure with monitoring capabilities. A potential acquirer or competitor if it bundles sensing into its installed base.
