Hear failure
before it happens.
IrriGhost is a solar-powered, edge-AI sensor that retrofits onto irrigation pumps and motors — predicting faults and sending alerts the moment something changes.
01 · The problem
Pumps fail in the worst possible places, at the worst possible time.
When an irrigation pump dies mid-season, replacement parts and technicians can be days away.
Even short downtime in peak irrigation cycles compounds into measurable yield loss.
Most pumps run unmonitored. By the time someone notices, the bearing is already gone.
02 · The product
Meet IrriGhost.
A rugged, solar-powered sensor that retrofits onto the pumps and motors you already own. It listens for the early signatures of bearing wear, cavitation, and electrical faults — and sends a plain SMS the moment something looks wrong.
No SCADA integration. No new dashboards to learn. Just a quiet device that watches the machine and tells you when to walk over.
03 · How it works
Five steps. Built for remote infrastructure.
Sense
Vibration, temperature, and electrical signals captured directly from existing pumps and motors.
Think
On-device models detect abnormal operating behaviour at the asset, before failure cascades.
Send
The device transmits critical events via satellite, avoiding dependence on patchy cellular coverage.
Log
Events route through the Retrolytics server, creating visibility, history and a record of each alert.
Alert
Notifies the grower via their preferred contact method when something needs attention.
04 · Why it's different
Designed for the real conditions of remote infrastructure.
Edge inference
Models run on-device, so the system can detect abnormal behaviour at the asset before sending only critical events onward.
Solar powered
True off-grid operation. Deploy in fields, vineyards, orchards — wherever the pump lives.
Retrofit, not replace
Mounts onto the infrastructure you already own. No new pumps, no new wiring.
Alert-first workflow
Receive simple, actionable alerts without needing to monitor another dashboard. No app, no login, no learning curve.
Field-grade hardware
Sealed, weatherproof, vibration-tolerant. Built for dust, sun, and decades of abuse.
Predictive, not reactive
Detects developing faults before they cascade. Shift from emergency repair to planned maintenance.
05 · BEYOND AGRICULTURE
A platform for the machines the world already runs on.
The same edge-AI sensing approach extends naturally to any rotating machine in any remote location. IrriGhost is the first product. It won't be the last.
- Mining dewatering
- Water utilities
- Industrial pumps
- Remote generators
- HVAC plant
- Aquaculture
06 · THE COMPANY
Retrolytics.
We retrofit intelligence into the machines the world already runs on. Pumps, motors, generators — the unglamorous hardware that keeps food, water, and industry moving.
Most of these machines were installed long before "IoT" was a word. Replacing them isn't realistic. Listening to them, with modern edge AI and rugged hardware, is.
That's the company. IrriGhost is where we start.
