The combination of LATERAL’s Industrial IoT solution with IOTech’s edge software platform will enhance data acquisition, analysis and management from edge sensors used to enable smart regenerative agriculture solutions.
“Our collaboration with IOTech provides significant opportunities to accelerate the digital transformation occurring within the farming and agriculture industries,” said Ed Lisle, President/CTO at LATERAL.systems. “IOTech’s edge software combined with LATERAL’s platform solution provides our customers’ with new capabilities to monitor their growing environments, improve crop yields and reduce the resources involved in the growing cycle.”
LATERAL is applying a range of edge platform solutions that utilise AI-driven predictive analytics in support of regenerative agriculture by providing farmers with rich data insights that enable food safety, optimal crop quality and higher yields. This platform will address climate change by supporting successful adoption of novel agriculture approaches such as aquaponics, hydroponics, and aeroponics that reduce agricultural demands for water and energy and reduce waste.
IOTech’s edge software solutions, Edge Xrt, Edge Xpert and Edge Builder, are designed to maximise openness, ease of use, flexibility and choice for its customers and its technology provides comprehensive Industrial IoT capabilities that allow users to connect, process and manage at the edge.
“IOTech is pleased to partner with LATERAL to provide innovative AgTech and Industrial IoT capabilities within the smart farming and smart agriculture industries,” said Keith Steele, CEO of IOTech Systems. “This collaboration presents further evidence that our open, comprehensive and flexible edge solutions are continuing to drive Industrial IoT innovation and adoption into a variety of markets.”
