Digital Crops transforms water management with adaptive irrigation platform

Digital Crops, a Poland-based agtech company, partnered with Agri Solutions to deliver FieldControl, an adaptive irrigation solution using Microsoft Azure. Farmers use FieldControl to predict adverse weather and automatically adjust irrigation, conserving water and boosting yields. FieldControl ingests farm data from weather stations and soil IoT devices to automate irrigation processes. By building on Agri Solutions' FarmCloud (based on Microsoft Azure), Digital Crops quickly brought FieldControl to market, minimizing time and computing infrastructure costs. The partnership allowed Digital Crops to focus on optimizing analytics, algorithms, and end-user value, while Agri Solutions handled IoT platform development and security—a crucial need in the agriculture sector. Using Azure's secure, scalable cloud foundation, both partners enabled farmers to deploy advanced farm monitoring and control hardware with minimal friction, simplifying water-saving technology adoption. Digital Crops and Agri Solutions launched FieldControl to new customers in time for seasonal demand, leveraging FarmCloud's established ecosystem to speed market entry, reduce costs, and expand reach.
