AGSMARTS

AgSmarts is a provider of environmental sensing and agricultural irrigation automation in the agriculture industry. With global demand for agricultural output rising and constraints confronting agricultural producers from all sides of their operations, AgSmarts helps farmers address these challenges by introducing the power of industrial controls. Its universal retrofit irrigation automation platform helps producers boost yields while reducing their operational costs and minimizing their water ... usage. The company's patent-pending IP-enabled sensing and wireless communication hardware coupled with its proprietary automation algorithms are revolutionizing agriculture by gathering critical environmental data directly from fields that allow existing irrigation infrastructure to anticipate and autonomously meet the soil moisture needs of the specific crop being grown in the field throughout the production season. The technology is distributed through existing Ag Service Providers' retail operations on a Platform as a Service (PaaS) basis and begins immediately improving the producer's bottom line when installed on their existing irrigation equipment through increased yield revenues and lower operational costs.
