Case Study: The Yield improves crop decisions and cuts water use with Bosch IoT Suite

The Yield cuts unnecessary harvest closures by 30% with Bosch IoT Suite

The Yield, an AgTech company, faced the challenge of helping farmers manage irrigated crops by removing the guesswork from daily decisions on watering and protecting crops from weather events. They partnered with the vendor Bosch IoT Suite, utilizing its Bosch IoT Remote Manager and Bosch IoT Edge Services to build a solution.

Bosch IoT Suite provided the device management and edge intelligence platform, enabling The Yield to deploy a microclimate sensing system that collects real-time data and delivers AI-powered predictive analytics. This solution provided farmers with a 7-day forecast, allowing for optimal watering times and immediate frost warnings. The results included an estimated 30% reduction in water usage for one customer and a separate project in aquaculture that decreased unnecessary oyster harvest closures by 30%, saving an estimated AUD $21 million annually.
