You can export the raw GPS data to .csv and is similar to conventional weed mapping data. Processed data download (track lines and spray areas) can be enabled if you contact support and have the required software and expertise. Though, for most visualisation and map production purposes, this isn’t required.

The unit needs to be connected to a single Wi-Fi access point. If you need to change the access point, it can be done through the settings but changing frequently is not recommended.

As of September 2022, we offer rentals to Australia only. Contact us for details.

The high-volume version has additional parts and a lower minimum purchase quantity (2) than the backpack version.

When you purchase a valid subscription, you will be given access to a web based app that you view through your browser or on your mobile device. With license upgrades, or bring-your-own license options, data can be viewed in the field through ArcGIS native mobile applications giving your weed control team greater ability to locate weeds in the field.

No. During the design of the STA logger, we considered this component but decided not to include it for the following reasons: 1. Our research and experience indicated that it is more of an agricultural need to know herbicide application rates for a given area of land, and that the primary information required for the conservation and natural resource management sectors is the location and type of weed. 2. It would add significant cost to the price of the unit for very little value. 3. It would add significant complexity to the installation and calibration of the unit. We have post-processing work flows that can help estimate the herbicide application rates for a project if they are important to report (not included in the STA logger package).

TerraLab is the name of the organisation that created and maintains the STA loggers.

The unit works offline meaning it does not need cellular coverage. When the unit is connected to a charger, it will search for its home Wi-Fi access point and upload the data. You must have sufficient 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi signal at your point of charging.

It depends on the quantity and complexity of the order. For small, standard orders we will have stock on hand to ship immediately. For larger or custom orders there is some lag time as we will assemble to order.

Refer to the pricing page.

Yes. For backpack sprayers, the minimum quantity is 4. For high-volume sprayers the minimum quantity is 2.

It is designed to fit to a range of weed control tools such as backpack sprayers, vehicle mounted (high-volume) sprayers and ATV’s. Though, the fittings are specific to certain spray handles. Currently supported spray handles include the Solo sprayer shut-off valve, the Turbo 400, the Hudson 38505 Ges heavy duty spray gun and the TeeJet AAB30A. The list of supported spray handles is constantly updating so please check your brand with us. If you require STA loggers for unsupported spray handles, we can customise our fittings for your needs.

STA loggers are designed and assembled in Australia.

The first year price includes the cost of the hardware plus the subscription.

The STA logger is not just the hardware, but also the cloud based processing, storage, web and mobile tools and support. The STA logger will not work without the subscription.

Yes, the STA logger is designed to map weeds while you spray. Categorise different weed species using the selector switch while conducting weed control. Prepare weed maps or export to different formats. It is a complete weed management solution.

The STA loggers use 2.4 GHz WiFi. Your modem will need to be compatible.
