AUTONOMOUS PIVOT
An autonomous AI solution for row-crops irrigation, fertigation and crop protection
Autonomous Pivot (AP) has developed a solution for the pivot farming industry saving the farmer time, money while optimising yield. AP have developed the world’s first on-pivot non-invasive mobile soil moisture sensor. It travels with the pivot and provides 300 measurements for the price of a single sensor optimal decision making, in addition to this AP have developed a 24/7 AI agronomic system that allows the farmer to run his crop under pivot production autonomously.
With outstanding trials completed in the US over the past 3 seasons, and with their first commercial year completed 2020, AP’s growth has exceeded expectations with 100% customer retention. AP is seeking investors to help raise funds to roll out next year’s season in the US.
Autonomous Pivot disrupts the row-crops growers’ market in three ways:
-
First, unique non-invasive soil-moisture and nitrogen sensors.
-
Second, comprehensive management of growers’ needs from planting till cropping, including:
-
Crop-protection alerts
-
Automatic fertilizer management
-
Automatic Irrigation management
-
-
Lastly, it offers full autonomy by controlling an irrigation pivot.
