Business value Solution Opportunity WATERBIT SENSORS MONITOR RICE CROPS BY USING SOIL MOISTURE PROBES • "In the past, I used experience and historical knowledge to really guess through trial and error what those accurate pointers were. WaterBit allows me to now have the metrics to know exactly how and when my soil is going to be at what moisture and temperature. WaterBit provides me with tremendous knowledge." – Greg Van Dyke, President/Owner of Kanpeki Rice • Since implementing the smart sensors, Kanpeki Rice saw an increase to water efficiency gain by 30%. • Since implementing the smart sensors, Kanpeki Rice saw an increase to water efficiency gain by 30%. • The smart sensors were unobtrusive, out of the way during field and harvest operations, and are able to operate in standing water 24/7. • Kanpeki Rice had the problem of over and under-watering their crops causing the yield and quality to be comprised. They were also experiencing invasive weed and pest growth, and methane gas emissions due to standing water in the fields. • Kanpeki Rice used WaterBit Carbon ™ , WaterBit Connect ™ , WaterBit Dashboard ™ , and Aquacheck subsurface soil moisture probes with LoRaWAN ® technology to monitor their rice crops.
