Case Study: The Yield achieves 30% fewer unnecessary harvest closures with Bosch IoT Suite

How the Internet of Things will revolutionise agriculture

The Yield is an Australian AgTech company tackling the low digital penetration and fragmented solutions in agriculture by using hyper‑local weather sensing and AI to take the guesswork out of growing. Facing growers’ demand for reliable, actionable data and a viable business model, The Yield partnered with Bosch IoT Suite to run its managed knowledge service and microclimate sensing platform — first proving the approach with an “Internet of Oysters” product for oyster farmers.

Using the Bosch IoT Suite platform to integrate real‑time sensors, analytics and AI, The Yield delivers crop‑specific decision tools and predictive alerts: its oyster system predicts harvest closures with over 95% accuracy three days ahead, has been adopted by 95% of growers in covered regions (with more than half using it daily), and is projected to cut unnecessary closures by 30%, saving AUD$7.6 million a year. With Bosch IoT Suite powering trials across broad agricultural use cases, The Yield is scaling those gains across the food value chain and pursuing further shelf‑life and productivity improvements.
