Aeris, Ranch Systems Unite on IoT Smart Farming

By Ken Briodagh

Aeris, an Internet of Things (IoT) technology provider, recently announced that it is collaborating with Ranch Systems of Novato, CA to help farmers and businesses improve sustainable water management, food production and environmental monitoring. Aeris is providing a global IoT connectivity solution for Ranch Systems to provide its telemetry services for the farming and environmental monitoring industries.

Ranch Systems is a high-technology company providing wireless solutions for field monitoring and control in agricultural and environmental applications. Ranch Systems’ patented technology is unique in terms of the breadth and modularity of the solutions, ranging from a single cellular node monitoring a single temperature or tank sensor to sophisticated enterprise-wide networks with real-time wireless monitoring and control of entire operation systems.

“Ranch Systems is a leader in remote monitoring and control. Historically our focus has been to provide farmers with solutions in the agricultural space,” said Chris Wunderlich, Senior Director, Operations, Ranch Systems. “To provide the best solution connectivity is key. As we deploy our products and services to a wider range of customers around the world connectivity issues have become more complex and individual carrier partnerships become very difficult to maintain. Aeris provides a solution that allows our best-in-class telemetry to operate worldwide on the best networks and ensures our solutions can be deployed reliably worldwide.”

Ranch Systems’ telemetry has a modular design that is intended to preserve the value of investment for farmers and businesses by providing easy expansion and flexibility in the use of emerging technologies. The Aeris Connectivity Platform (ACP) is being used by Ranch Systems to offer many features that allow the company to improve its service delivery and increase service radius.

Aeris offers IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) services for a number of industries, including connected vehicles, telematics, fixed assets, healthcare, solar energy, cold chain monitoring, wireless point-of-sale and utilities.

“Aeris is an Internet of Things industry leader. Through our work with Ranch Systems, we allow them the opportunity to easily track and deploy their devices enabled by Aeris,” said Christina Richards, VP, Global Marketing, Aeris. “The Aeris Connectivity platform is built for IoT and has been globally tested at scale. For more than a decade, we have unlocked IoT value for enterprises and look forward to helping Ranch Systems be the preeminent provider of wireless solutions for field monitoring and control in agriculture and environmental applications.”
