Case Study: Farmers Edge achieves smarter, data-driven agriculture with Microsoft Azure IoT Hub

Solving agriculture to sustain the world’s population

Farmers Edge, a global leader in decision agriculture, needed a way to manage thousands of IoT devices and turn vast amounts of field data into better farm-management decisions. Using Microsoft Corporation’s Azure IoT Hub, the company worked to support growers with more accurate, data-driven insights to improve productivity and profitability.

Microsoft Corporation helped Farmers Edge build on the Azure platform with IoT connectivity, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to create a more advanced, field-centric data model. The result was a system that enabled variable rate technology and better targeted fertilizer use, helping farmers take advantage of yield opportunities and make more effective decisions.
