Know what's happening on your farm — right now.
Catch the problem before it costs you — a power cut, a leaking tank, a gate left open. We watch your farm around the clock and message you the moment something changes, so small issues don't become expensive ones. All on 4G, no broadband needed.
Alerts sent straight to your phone the moment something changes — day or night, wherever you are.
Every system runs on its own dedicated SIM. No reliance on farm WiFi or unreliable rural broadband.
We visit your farm, understand your setup, and tell you exactly what we'd recommend. No obligation.
Three reasons farmers choose us
Save Money
A power cut overnight can mean a freezer full of spoiled produce by morning. A leaking trough can run for hours before anyone notices. A failed generator during lambing season could cost thousands. Catching it the moment it happens — not the next morning — is the difference between a five-minute fix and a five-figure loss.
Peace of Mind
No more driving out at 11pm because you're "pretty sure" you shut the gate. No more lying awake wondering if the grain store's overheating. Your phone tells you the moment something needs attention — and tells you when everything's fine, too.
Save Time
Stop walking the same rounds every day just to check nothing's changed. Free up an hour a day — or send someone to do the jobs that actually need doing, instead of routine checks.
The alert finds you.
In seconds.
Every alert lands as a direct message — free, instant, and on the phone already in your pocket. No portals to log into, no inbox to dig through. When something changes on your farm, your phone buzzes.
From the sensor tripping to your phone buzzing. Not the next morning — now.
Alerts go to a shared group — family, staff, whoever needs to know. Everyone sees it at the same moment.
It's free and runs on any smartphone. No per-message fees, no extra subscriptions, no special hardware.
Controls engineering meets agriculture.
We understand farming, agricultural equipment, and the control and automation systems behind them. We also work with industrial and commercial clients who need the same level of engineering expertise. That means we design solutions that actually work in your environment — not systems bodged together from domestic kit.
With a background in controls engineering and almost a decade working with industrial automation systems, we bring a level of technical understanding that most installers simply don't have. That's your advantage.

Simple on your end.
Smart on ours.
You don't need to understand the technology. Here's all that matters: sensors go on your farm, alerts come to your phone. And here's how it works under the hood:
This is what you'll see
from anywhere.
This isn't a mock-up. It's our own monitoring platform — designed, built and run by JG Smart Systems. Your dashboard is custom-built for your farm, updating in real time, accessible from any device.

Our Services
From a single temperature sensor in your grain store to a full CCTV and monitoring system across your entire farm. We handle everything from survey to installation to ongoing support.
Remote Monitoring
Wireless sensors placed around your farm feed live data to a dashboard we build and run ourselves — viewable from anywhere. No wiring. No broadband. The sensors run on batteries that last years, and the whole system works via its own 4G connection.
When something changes — a temperature spike, a power failure, a gate left open — an alert lands on your phone within 30 seconds. Not the next morning. Now.
CCTV & Security
Full camera systems with remote viewing from your phone. We use professional-grade Hikvision equipment — not the cheap domestic kit sold online. That means reliable night vision, proper weatherproofing, and remote access that actually works on rural 4G connections.
Control Panel Work
Fault finding, upgrades, and retrofits on agricultural and industrial control systems. Grain dryers, irrigation pumps, ventilation controllers, conveyor systems, process lines — if it has a control panel, we can work on it.
Most local electricians won't touch PLC faults or industrial control panels. We can. Whether it's on a farm or in a factory, that's what makes us different.
Ongoing Support & Maintenance
We don't disappear after installation. Support packages are available to suit your needs — from remote health checks to scheduled site visits. One number, one contact, no call centres.

Controls engineering expertise.
Built for industry.
JG Smart Systems was built for farms and rural businesses — but our controls engineering background means we're equally at home with industrial automation, process control, and commercial systems.
Why we started
Farms are complicated environments. They have specialist electrical systems, control panels that most electricians won't touch, remote buildings with no broadband, and real consequences when things go wrong — financially and for animal welfare.
Yet most monitoring and CCTV companies treat a farm like any other commercial site. They fit a standard package, don't understand the control systems, can't deal with the connectivity challenges, and disappear once the invoice is paid.
The same gap exists in industrial settings — businesses with ageing control panels, unreliable monitoring, and no one local who understands both the electrical and the automation side.
JG Smart Systems was set up to fill that gap. Based in Shropshire, we work primarily with farms and rural businesses, but our controls engineering background means we're equally capable with industrial automation, process control, and commercial systems. We bring a level of technical depth that generic installers simply can't match.

What makes us different
We actually understand farms
We know the difference between a grain dryer controller and a basic relay panel. We understand what matters — and what doesn't — in a farm environment.
No broadband? No problem.
Every system we install works on its own 4G connection. Farm broadband is unreliable. Ours isn't.
One person, one number
When you call, you speak to Jamie. Not a call centre. Not a booking system. The person who installed your system.
Fixed prices, no surprises
Every quote is fixed price. We don't bill by the hour for installation work. You know exactly what you're paying before we start.
Controls engineering background
Most CCTV installers can't fault-find a PLC. Most electricians won't touch a grain dryer controller. We can do both — and connect it all to your phone.
Local to Shropshire
We're based in Shropshire and work across the surrounding counties. Fast response, no travel premium, familiar with the local farming community.
