Why compost temperatures are tracked
Compost performance is driven by internal pile temperature trends. IRYS provides continuous, zone‑based temperature records so operators can act early and maintain consistent documentation.
Support process control
Confirm piles are trending through target ranges—and spot stalls early.
Reduce hotspot risk
Get alerts for rapid climbs, sustained highs, or uneven behavior across zones.
Create defensible records
Maintain time‑stamped logs for internal reviews, insurers, and regulators.
Manual checks vs continuous monitoring
A quick, operator-focused comparison of traditional temperature rounds versus continuous, zone-based monitoring.
Manual temperature checks
- Labor-intensive daily site walks
- Single-point or surface readings
- Overnight/weekend events often missed
- Inconsistent documentation
- Limited trend visibility
Continuous monitoring
- 24/7 automated temperature tracking
- Multi-depth, zone-based measurements
- Real-time alerts for stalls and hotspots
- Consistent, timestamped records
- Clear trends for operations & reporting
Dashboards, hotspot & stall alerts, and reports
Everything you need for daily operations and defensible documentation—nothing extra.
Standard Outputs
- Hotspot & stall alerts tuned to your thresholds (rapid rise, sustained highs, or cold stalls)
- Weekly summary of pile temperatures by zone with clear trends for operators
- Timestamped event log (threshold breaches, recoveries, and notable shifts)
- Monthly operations report and closeout pack for your records (zones, events, and trends)

Monitoring workflow
Set it up once, then it runs continuously across your defined zones and duration.
Define zones & goals
Identify windrows/piles/bays and set thresholds (process targets + hotspot alerts).
Deploy probes & gateway
Probes are inserted at defined depths/locations; cellular gateway provides connectivity.
Record pile temperatures
Temperatures are recorded at defined intervals (typ. 5–15 min) and trended by zone.
Hotspot & stall alerts + reports
Hotspot & stall alerts are issued per thresholds; weekly/monthly PDFs are prepared for your files.
Low-effort deployment
Probes are rugged and simple to place. After setup, the system runs in the background and produces dashboards, alerts, and reports—reducing site walks and missed overnight changes.
Fast placement
Near-zero
No daily babysitting. Minimal disruption to your operating routine.
Pricing that scales from 5 sensors to 50+
You purchase the probes. We provide monitoring platform access (dashboard, alerts, and reports) priced by sensor count. No per‑reading fees—scale up or down as your site changes.

What “Enterprise (50 sensors)” looks like
Clear visibility across zones, piles, and time—so operators can act early and document outcomes.
FAQ
Common questions about probe placement, alerts, and how to use the documentation.
What exactly is monitored?
Primary monitoring is internal compost pile temperature by zone. You can optionally include ambient conditions near the pile if desired. Scope (zones, depths, and intervals) is defined before deployment.
Do we need Wi‑Fi on site?
No. Deployments use cellular-connected gateways, so site Wi‑Fi is not required for dashboards or alerts.
How do alerts work?
Hotspot & stall alerts are configured to your thresholds (e.g., rapid rise, sustained high temperatures, or stalls below target). Hotspot & stall alerts can be tuned per zone and season.
Is this a fire‑prevention system or safety certification?
No. This is observational monitoring and documentation of measured temperatures. It does not replace facility safety plans, inspections, training, or regulatory obligations.

Scope & limitations
IRYS IoT Compost Monitoring provides continuous compost pile temperature monitoring and documentation for designated compost zones (such as windrows, bays, or aerated static piles) as agreed for each site. Monitoring is observational in nature and limited to the recorded temperature parameters, sensor locations, and time periods defined in the monitoring scope.
IRYS IoT Compost Monitoring does not perform compost inspection, testing, certification, regulatory compliance verification, pathogen reduction validation, fire prevention assurance, or quality determination. Documentation reflects recorded sensor data only and does not constitute an assessment of compost maturity, process effectiveness, operational practices, or responsibility for outcomes. All compost management activities, including turning, aeration, moisture control, and material handling, remain the responsibility of the facility operator.
