A field-deployed flux chamber measures soil CO2 respiration, optional N2O, moisture and temperature at set intervals, giving growers and carbon projects continuous emissions data without manual surveys.
Arbiter Chamber collects meter, flow, and equipment-status readings across crops, fields & greenhouses and sends the readings to a secure cloud application. Dashboards and configurable rules show condition trends and early fault indicators, retaining history by site, zone, or asset. This gives farm managers, growers, and service providers the context to plan maintenance before failure, helping them reduce unplanned downtime and unnecessary service and document the response.
Arbiter Chamber is a resource metering, condition monitoring, predictive maintenance solution by Agrology, delivered as Public SaaS, serving Agriculture.
The Arbiter Chamber is a static continuous soil flux chamber, which includes a chamber enclosure with an inserted collar, a set of sensors (gas concentration, chamber pressure, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and optionally soil and chamber temperature, etc.). It automatically measures flux over time (e.g. every 15 minutes to 1 hour) by capturing gas build-up inside the chamber, along with environmental and soil parameters needed for normalization and corrections. It follows standardized protocols (e.g. USDA-ARS GRACEnet) for flux calculation. Data is uploaded to Agrology’s cloud platform, integrated into the Grower Portal and mobile app for visualization, alerts, time series analysis, export (CSV/JSON), etc. Deployment is typically in trial plots or fields where regenerative practices are being evaluated; chambers are installed with minimal soil disturbance (collars inserted), and measurements run continuously. It aims to reduce manual labor vs traditional chambers or survey style methods. Users manage via subscription or service model. The Arbiter Chamber is used in varied agronomic and ecosystem trial settings-vineyards, row crops, specialty crop operations, and research setups in the US, especially in regenerative agriculture and carbon offset or tracking programs. Case studies include e.g. O’Neill Vintners.
