About

Environmental Monitoring. Newcastle-Built. East Coast Supported.

Novecom designs, manufactures, deploys, and maintains environmental monitoring systems from our facility in Newcastle, NSW. For over 20 years, we have worked alongside mining operations, agricultural producers, infrastructure operators, and health systems to ensure their compliance obligations are met continuously, not just at reporting time.

The monitoring systems at the core of what we do are designed, built, and supported in Australia, engineered for the heat, dust, remoteness, and power constraints that defeat off-the-shelf international alternatives. We own the parts that matter most: the hardware, the firmware, the data, and the compliance reporting your operation depends on. Alongside our own platforms, we supply selected third-party monitoring equipment, giving clients a single point of contact across the full range of their monitoring needs.

What We Do

Novecom provides end-to-end environmental monitoring and Industrial IoT solutions. We design the hardware, write the firmware, deploy the network, validate the data, and turn it into information you can act on. For operators with compliance obligations, that means defensible, reportable evidence ready when regulators or communities ask. For others, it means real-time visibility of remote assets, early warning when conditions change, and better day-to-day decisions. Our platforms are built to run continuously where periodic or manual monitoring is not enough.

Environmental Monitoring

Continuous noise, dust and air quality, blast vibration, water, and weather monitoring. Data validated against Australian standards and structured for your regulatory reporting requirements. Delivered through our SentineX® and SynaptiX® platforms.

Industrial IoT

Flexible sensor networks for agriculture, infrastructure, renewable energy, manufacturing, and defence. Our SynaptiX® platform operates carrier-independently, so remote and regional operators are never left without visibility when commercial networks fail.

Blast Vibration Monitoring

AS 2187.2-2006 compliant blast vibration monitoring with automated capture, real-time alerts, and cloud-based compliance records. Deployed across active coal, gold, and mineral operations across NSW and Queensland, with local field support from our east coast team.

SureWaste: Smart Waste Management

The same compliance intelligence Novecom has built for mining and agriculture, now applied to waste streams in health systems. SureWaste identifies and quantifies unused consumables in operating theatres, providing defensible ESG evidence and reducing unnecessary spend.

Traffic Monitoring

Our Intercepta® platform provides smart video-based traffic monitoring for road safety and compliance applications. Solar-powered, remote-deployable, and built to operate in unserviced locations.

Data Analytics and Reporting

Monthly validated reporting, automated exceedance alerts, and compliance dashboards that give operators immediate visibility. When a regulator or community raises a query, the evidence is already structured and retrievable.

Your Compliance Partner. Not Just Your Supplier.

Most monitoring providers measure their relationship by the sale. Ours is measured by the ongoing performance of your system, and the strength of your compliance record, over the life of the deployment.

Novecom provides monthly validated reporting, proactive field maintenance, remote equipment health monitoring, and named team members who know your site. When a regulator makes an inquiry or a community complaint is lodged, you are not scrambling to pull together evidence. It is already there, structured and defensible.

This model covers the full chain. From sensor deployment and data capture through to validated, reportable compliance evidence ready for submission.

Why Operators Choose Novecom

Designed and manufactured in Newcastle, NSW. Our hardware is engineered for Australian heat, dust, remoteness, and power constraints. Solar LiFePO4 battery systems, IP66-rated enclosures, and purpose-built electronics assembled at our facility in Mayfield West.
East coast field support: Newcastle, Hunter Valley, and beyond. Our field technicians are based in the Hunter and operate across NSW and Queensland. When something needs attention on site, you are not waiting on an overseas supplier or a distributor who has never seen your setup.
Continuous monitoring, validated data, defensible records. Our data validation framework was built ahead of the 2020 Australian Standard. Monthly validated reporting across 15-plus mine sites means your compliance evidence holds up when it is tested.
Carrier-independent connectivity. SynaptiX® ConnectMesh operates without reliance on commercial carrier networks. When Australia’s largest LoRaWAN carrier collapsed in early 2025, Novecom customers were unaffected. Remote sites stay connected regardless of carrier availability.
Triple ISO certified, SAI Global audited. Novecom holds certifications under AS/NZS ISO 9001 (Quality), AS/NZS ISO 14001 (Environmental), and AS/NZS ISO 45001 (Health and Safety). Our Integrated Management System is subject to annual independent review.
Multidisciplinary in-house team. Engineers, scientists, and trade-qualified technicians working in one facility. Hardware development, firmware, software, field service, and compliance reporting capability under one roof. No outsourcing of the core product.

Novecom remote monitoring deployment, Narromine irrigation network

Case Study

54 Remote Water Meters. One Network. Five Data Plans.

The Narromine Irrigation Board of Management needed to monitor 54 water extraction points spread across a 1,200 km² network in regional NSW. Traditional approaches would have required a data plan for every meter and carrier coverage that simply did not exist in the area.

Outcome
SynaptiX® ConnectMesh delivered full network coverage using only five data plan subscriptions. Real-time water extraction data, compliant reporting, and no carrier dependency.
