While many farmers globally are relying on groundwater and other pumped resources to properly water their crops, the environmental effects of water waste are a big problem in agriculture. Water waste can lead to soil erosion, overwatered crops, and unnecessary spend. By better optimizing your water usage, you are not only doing your part to … Read more
Through smart agriculture, we are able to have exact data from the fields that farmers want to monitor. This allows farmers to view data for several different metrics, including rainfall, humidity, and air pressure. In addition, connected sensors also allow us to view and track data from other sensors in outside fields. This has a … Read more
Businesses in many different industries rely on backup batteries to supply power to key services in the event of power failure. Regardless of how the main power fails, if a backup battery is in place, service can continue as normal. When there isn’t one in place, or the backup battery isn’t functioning correctly, total service … Read more
Agriculture and farming is responsible for ensuring our global population is well-nourished, and it’s crucial for farmers to properly manage their crops so they can get as high as yield as possible from the plants that they have.

Rain is usually seen as a benefit to crops and fields, but there is an “ideal” amount of rainfall in any given growing season for most crops. If the average rainfall is much lower or higher than the ideal, it can lead to significant problems, from drowned crops to lower yields. When to water Knowing … Read more
When an organization’s critical services are powered by the mains, having battery backups is crucial. There’s no warning when mains go down, which means that if a backup isn’t in place, services will go down. The worst thing? The service breakdown is only reported hours after it has manifested. All too often this means expensive … Read more
