The Challenge

Our client, a mid-size agricultural enterprise, was losing significant water through over-irrigation. They needed a solution that could monitor soil conditions across a large farm and automate irrigation decisions.

Our Approach

We deployed a mesh network of 200+ wireless sensor nodes measuring soil moisture, temperature, and NPK levels. Edge gateways processed data locally and pushed aggregated readings to AWS IoT Core.

The Result

In the first growing season, water consumption dropped by 35% and crop yield increased by 20% — a strong ROI that paid back the project cost within 18 months.
