In 2020, Berg Insight reported that there were approximately 800,000 installed in-field sensor systems and remote-control units used for crop control and irrigation. Such stats are driven by smart irrigation's ability to enhance water resource management, reduce operational costs, and improve crop quality and yields.
1NCE recognizes the relevance of IoT to smart irrigation use cases. With a constantly growing customer base, over 8% comes for Agriculture, which is over 1200 partners from the United States, the United Kingdom, Chile, Germany, Denmark, Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea. Smart irrigation here is one of the trending customers’ applications and demands within IoT-enabled projects.
