1. Fuel & energy
Higher prices. Greater demand.
- • Rising fuel and energy costs
- • Increased machinery usage
- • Greater power demand (pumps, irrigation, processing)
- • Price volatility and supply risk
- • Pressure on margins
About EX10D Agriculture
Stability at
the source
EX10D is a passive, non-invasive platform requiring no power, wiring or consumables. It provides a structured way to measure fuel, emissions and thermal response, while separately recording observations across machinery, animals, crops and water.
The modern agricultural challenge
Higher inputs. Greater variability. Increasing pressure.
Today’s challenges create tomorrow’s opportunities.
2. Inputs
Costs continue to rise.
- • Higher fertiliser costs
- • Increased chemical costs
- • Feed cost pressures
- • Supply chain uncertainty
- • More efficient input use required
3. Water
Scarcity and reliability.
- • Increasing water scarcity
- • Variable rainfall and drought
- • Higher pumping and energy costs
- • Water allocation and regulatory pressure
- • Need for greater water efficiency
4. Labour
Harder to find. More expensive.
- • Labour shortages (skilled and general)
- • Rising wage costs
- • Higher training and compliance costs
- • Increasing reliance on automation
- • Need for greater productivity per worker
5. Machinery & tyres
Higher wear. Higher costs.
- • Increased operating hours
- • Higher maintenance costs
- • Faster tyre wear
- • Greater heat and load stress
- • More downtime and reduced availability
6. Livestock
Health, productivity, resilience.
- • Animal health and disease risk
- • Heat stress and environmental pressure
- • Feed and water quality
- • Reproduction and weight gain variability
- • Welfare and productivity expectations
7. Climate & environment
Greater variability. Higher risk.
- • More extreme weather events
- • Higher temperatures and heat stress
- • Drought and flood cycles
- • Environmental and emissions scrutiny
- • Need for more resilient, sustainable operations

The working hypothesis is evaluated through a simple discipline: define the question, establish a baseline, deploy, measure, compare and verify. The mechanism remains subject to further scientific investigation.
