Case Studies
Case Study 1 – Vineyard Optimization in California, USA
A premium wine producer in Napa Valley deployed our soil moisture sensors across 150 acres of vineyards. By integrating the sensors with a smart irrigation system, they achieved a 38% reduction in water use and a 15% increase in grape yield over a single season.
Case Study 2 – Urban Agriculture in Chicago, USA
An indoor farming cooperative in Chicago utilized our compact LoRa-enabled sensors to monitor raised soil beds. The system, integrated with GAO RFID’s cloud platform, allowed for real-time alerts and optimized lighting and irrigation cycles—boosting leafy green output by 22%.
Case Study 3 – Reclamation Research in Alberta, Canada
A Canadian environmental agency used our sensors to monitor post-mining soil restoration in northern Alberta. The system helped researchers validate water retention over time, providing critical data that led to successful native vegetation recovery efforts across 1,200 hectares.
