Connect, Collect, and Share Data with GEMS Sensing
Open source data loggers
Real-time data streaming
Works with Campbell Scientific, Apogee, Davis Instruments, and other common sensors
Reduce time managing large-scale deployments of devices
Share streaming data across all your project partners as the data is collected
Integrate data from existing weather stations and in-field sensors
Open Source Logging and Telemetry
Enabling scientists to transparently evaluate how their data is being transformed at each step.
Many hardware providers make it hard to see how devices are collecting data in order to preserve proprietary processes. We believe that how a data logger interacts with a sensor is the first step to understanding whether or not a scientist is measuring the target phenomena.
How GEMS Ensures Data Transparency
As a result, we provide certified and open source hardware devices. This provides all the benefits of easy-to-order hardware with the transparency needed for science to thrive, while still supporting interoperability with proprietary devices from multiple vendors.
Integrating Data from Across Sensors
Enabling scientists to get their sensor data into one integrated file.
GEMS Sensing streams all of the data from across all of your field deployments into the same project.
How GEMS Unifies Sensor Data
That way, you can click a button to get it all in one CSV ready for analysis. Regardless of the hardware vendor, we can integrate the data.
Reduce the Time Required to Manage All of Your Sensors
Know when your devices need to be checked in on, even if you’re on the other side of the world.
Scientists are collecting more data than ever over ever-greater spatial extents.
How GEMS Reduces Sensor Management Time
GEMS Sensing provides automated device management and monitoring with on-going technical support to ensure if you have a device go down, you know about it right away and have immediate support to get it up and running as soon as possible.

Improving irrigation decisions in Minnesota
The Irrigation Management Assistant is a grassroots irrigation scheduling tool developed by Soil and Water Conservation Districts and irrigators in the Central Sand Plains of Minnesota. With new funding from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, GEMS, the UMN Irrigation Extension program, RESPEC, and partner organizations are using GEMS Services to grow it into a statewide application.
