Case Study: CropX achieves 10–20% water savings and rapid, secure cloud connectivity with Digi International

From the Ground to the Cloud: Optimizing Irrigation

CropX is an advanced irrigation software company that uses soil sensors and cloud analytics to optimize watering and increase crop yields while addressing growing water scarcity. Facing the dual challenge of reliably getting sensor data from the field to the cloud and keeping the system simple enough for farmers, CropX needed a secure, low-touch end-to-end solution to move data into its analysis platform and mobile app.

Using XBee DigiMesh radios and a ConnectPort X4 gateway to relay soil humidity data to Digi Remote Manager, CropX feeds field data into its cloud-based pattern-recognition algorithms that automatically adjust irrigation. The solution delivers 10–20% water savings, a quick three-sensor app-guided setup for farmers, reduced operational and development costs, and scalable deployment without heavy IT overhead.
