Frost warnings / Orchards, vineyards & growers

A frost warning at 2 am.
Give it somewhere to go.

Add an organised call-out plan to your existing frost alarms. Reach the first contact, escalate unanswered warnings and see who has accepted responsibility to investigate.

Illustrative call-out

An existing frost alarm, with a response plan

Your frost-monitoring system raises a warning. Pinga receives the message and follows your chosen contacts and timings—so the process doesn’t end with an unread text.

Choose the contact, notification method and wait time for every step. AI interprets the message; your configured plan controls the response.

  1. WARNING

    Your equipment reports

    A frost warning or temperature reading arrives from your existing monitoring system.

  2. ESCALATE

    Reach the next person

    Send a message, follow with a call and move to a backup when the configured wait expires.

  3. RESPOND

    Know who is investigating

    An acknowledgement stops further escalation. Record the response and any subsequent recovery message.

Practical tools for your team

Build on the frost monitoring you already trust

Your sensors. Your warning criteria.

Receive warnings from existing frost sensors, weather stations or monitoring platforms that can send email, SMS or webhooks.

Instructions in everyday language

Tell the monitor which warnings or readings need attention and how to recognise a recovery. Choose and test thresholds appropriate to your crop, site and equipment.

Separate blocks, clear history

Where messages identify a block or sensor, keep its fault and recovery history together. A recovery for one asset should not clear another asset’s fault.

One team, an agreed response

Set who is contacted first and when to escalate. Clear acknowledgement helps avoid several people heading out without knowing someone is already responding.

Safer, smarter call-outs

Look after the person checking the block.

Overnight field checks can mean working alone. Pinga Me adds scheduled welfare checks and optional shared location, giving the team context if the person stops responding.

Welfare checks stay separate from equipment faults. Accepting a job does not confirm the equipment has recovered—or that a worker is safe.

Start with one useful alarm

Connect a message.
Test the response.

Each monitor has an email address and secure webhook URL. Equipment can also send SMS to Pinga’s shared number after you verify its sending number, or to an optional dedicated number.

Send a real example message, check the interpretation and test your escalation plan before relying on it alongside your existing arrangements.

Does Pinga predict frost or protect crops automatically?

No. Pinga supplements incoming warnings and your response procedures. It does not predict frost, operate frost fans or irrigation, or guarantee crop protection. Keep independent warnings and your site’s frost-response plan in place.

Bring some order to the alarm.
