Much more than irrigation
What we do
Crop Success as a Service
There are over 250,000 center and linear pivots across the United States used to irrigate and fertigate crops. What if, as they move across the field, they could study and even react to the soil and crops growing beneath them? Autonomous Pivot transforms irrigation pivots into an intelligent platform with onboard cameras and sensors that measure soil moisture and crop health. Utilizing the latest in Artificial Intelligence, this extraordinary AI Agronomist™ combines sensor data, crop growth cycles, online weather forecasting, and intelligent learning to optimize irrigation and alert growers to crop pests and disease.
Prescriptions for success
The magic of Autonomous Pivot is not only in its breakthrough sensory technology. The AI engine immediately begins synthesizing information with data it collects on-site as well as online, such as historical and predicted weather forecasts, to calculate the current water balance.
These data points are continually analyzed and translated into intelligent, actionable recommendations for irrigation, available to growers in an elegantly designed smartphone app. More importantly, these prescriptions can be used to control the irrigation pivot automatically to maximize crop yield, save water and resources, and increase a field’s output.
Company's story
What does Autonomous Pivot sense?
Continuous non-invasive soil-moisture sensing takes advantage of the world’s first on-pivot Ground-Penetrating-Radar (GPR) to take 300 soil water content readings per rotation without disturbing the soil.
For the past three years, the Autonomous Pivot solution has been implemented in working farms across Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas. For the 2021 summer season, we installed and serviced over a hundred systems farming across the Midwest, autonomously optimizing corn, soybean, alfalfa, and potato crops around the clock.
