SapEM (Sap Environment Monitoring) Systems develops affordable wireless vacuum monitoring solutions designed specifically for small to medium maple sap operations.
SapEM nodes collect system data and transmit readings over long-range radio communication.
The SapEM hub receives sensor data from nodes and forwards readings to the monitoring dashboard.
Users view sensor data from the connected web app.
Every hub and sensor on one map, with real-time pressure and temperature — all from your phone or laptop.
Every hub and sensor plotted on a satellite map, with your sap tubing drawn right over your actual woods.
The main gauge at the top of the dashboard shows your whole system's average vacuum pressure across every sensor.
Sensors running low on vacuum are automatically flagged, so you can spot a leak or line issue before it costs you sap.
Profitability starts with an affordable mainline vacuum sensor system. A budget-friendly SapEM setup can generate up to $2,750 in additional income per year on a 1,000-tap operation — based on catching just 0.1 more gallons of syrup per tap. And that's before counting the hours you get back off your legs, not walking the lines chasing leaks.
