AgriGard™Smoke Detection
AgriGard™ is the world's first integrated fire prevention and monitoring system designed specifically for combine harvesters. Rather than waiting for a fire to start, it identifies the conditions that cause fires before they become uncontrollable
Your AgriGard™ system will continuously monitor your harvester across six critical zones for the three primary causes of fire — smouldering grain dust, slipping drive belts, and overheating bearings — alerting you instantly via an in-cab touch screen alarm while you're operating, and sending a GPS-tagged SMS directly to your phone for up to 90 minutes after shutdown, ensuring your most valuable asset is protected around the clock, your harvest season stays on track, and you have total peace of mind whether you're in the cab, in the paddock or back at the homestead.
AgriGard™ can be rapidly and simply reset by the operator This minimal downtime means harvesting can resume quickly.
Features
- World's first integrated fire prevention and monitoring system designed specifically for combine harvesters.
- Triple-threat detection monitoring smoke, slipping drive belts, and overheating bearings simultaneously.
- Six-zone precision monitoring network covering every critical high-risk area of the harvester.
- Dedicated in-cab full-colour touch screen displaying real-time health of all six zones.
- Instant in-cab audible and visual alarm triggered within two seconds of detecting an anomaly.
- 90-minute post-shutdown Watchdog mode that remains active after the engine is turned off.
- GPS-tagged SMS alert sent directly to the farmer's phone identifying the exact zone and location.
- Timestamped alerts providing precise date, time, and condition type for every detected event.
- Multi-recipient SMS capability allowing alerts to be sent simultaneously to the operator, owner, and farm manager.
- Integrated GSM/LTE cellular module enabling SMS alerts without requiring Wi-Fi or internet connectivity.
- Multi-constellation GPS module providing precise machine coordinates even in remote paddock locations.
- Triple-filtered sensor array using mechanical, electronic and algorithmic filtration to eliminate false alarms caused by crop dust/exhaust fumes.
- Proprietary detection algorithm that distinguishes between normal operational heat and genuine thermal threats.
- Predictive analysis capability that tracks the rate of signal variation to identify a failing bearing before it becomes problematic.
- Cloud monitoring platform that logs every alarm event with a timestamp for maintenance and insurance records.
- Robust central control unit housing a complex microcontroller engineered for high levels of vibration, heat and dusty harvester environments.
- Hard-wired 12V power connection
- IP67 rated sensors that are fully dust-tight and water resistant for extreme operating conditions.
- Validated performance in the challenging conditions of Western Australia
- Adaptable six-zone architecture compatible with all major high-capacity harvester brands; trials undetaken on CLAAS, John Deere, Case IH, and New Holland.
- Complete plug & play wiring harness and mounting hardware included, purpose-built for harvester installation environments.
- Annual cloud subscription service providing continuous SMS Watchdog coverage, GPS tracking, and historical thermal data logging throughout every harvest season.

IgniSense Pty Limited has worked collaboratively with Western Australian farmers, fire specialists and agricultural innovators to create a fire detection system specifically for headers. We are pleased to now be able to offer AgriGard™ to WA farmers first, so they are best prepared for this coming harvest.
IgniSense's AgriGard™ provides a targeted, real-time response to potential header fire. Utilising a communication system that notifies not only the machine operator but also the grower, other operators and even the local DFES unit.
AgriGard™ offers assurance that crops are harvested with minimal downtime or interruption to cropping and other farm operations.
IgniSense™ applies demanding research and development practices with expert knowledge to design and manufacture cost-effective solutions, enhancing safe and efficient crop recovery.
"Our unique experience in providing robust technological solutions to industry problems, combined with a depth of understanding of the cost and damage of header fires during harvest, allows us to offer products and services aimed squarely at the needs of grain growers”
IgniSense Director Dr Neil Grice.
Do you need AgriGard™ ?
Bumper harvests and increased numbers of header fires, along with current supply chain delays, mean that spare parts are becoming increasingly scarce and difficult to source.
AgriGard™ was developed by IgniSense Pty Limited with one goal in mind — to keep your harvester running and your crop in the bin. Through early detection of fire precursors, your new system protects your most valuable assets, slashes downtime, avoids the mess of a fire-related clean-up, and ensures that when the season is short, not a single hour is wasted. Engineered specifically for agricultural vehicles — and combine harvesters in particular — the AgriGard™ system monitors and reacts to thermal threats using a precise six-zone detection architecture, placing protective intelligence across every critical area of your machine. Developed in close collaboration with the Western Australian agricultural community, leading insurance companies, and specialist fire experts, AgriGard™ has been purpose-built to meet the unique and demanding requirements of Australian farmers — from the first pass of the season to the last.
