Veea Inc., a pioneer in edge-cloud computing and communications, has launched a Climate Smart Agriculture initiative in partnership with Mainstream Fiber Networks, Microclimates Inc. (Company Profile), and AmeriCrew LLC. The collaboration introduces precision farming technologies to Cyr Farm in Fowler, Indiana, aimed at boosting productivity, sustainability, and resource management.
Transforming Agriculture with Precision Technology
The deployment at Cyr Farm integrates Veea’s Edge Platform with long-range wide-area network (LoRaWAN) connectivity, enabling comprehensive farm management through real-time data monitoring. Farmers will now be able to oversee hyperlocal weather conditions, soil composition, and grain storage levels, all remotely controlled via a unified platform.
By leveraging these advanced technologies, Cyr Farm expects to achieve:
- Over 20% improvement in crop yields
- Up to 30% reduction in energy usage
- Up to 40% reduction in water consumption, with reduced flooding risks
- 20-40% savings in labor-related expenses
Industry Collaboration for Rural Growth
Mainstream Fiber Networks provides the robust fiber broadband infrastructure necessary for seamless connectivity at Cyr Farm.
“Pairing other technology companies, like Veea and Microclimates, with Mainstream Fiber’s best-in-class broadband infrastructure will help agricultural businesses in Indiana promote the state’s rural economic growth,” said Bryan Gabriel, CEO of Mainstream Fiber Networks.
Microclimates Inc. contributes its environmental automation dashboard, which streamlines climate, irrigation, and lighting controls.
“Our commitment is to empower farmers with the tools they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving agricultural landscape,” said Neda Vaseghi, CEO and co-founder of Microclimates.
Sustainability and Innovation at the Core
The project aligns with Veea’s mission to enhance farming techniques through user-friendly, cutting-edge technology.
“This project demonstrates how our edge computing products can drive greater efficiency and sustainability in agricultural yields, while also mitigating risks,” said Allen Salmasi, CEO and founder of Veea Inc.
Cyr Farm owner Norb Cyr expressed optimism about the initiative: “The expected improvements in energy efficiency, water conservation, and yield maximization will allow us to push the boundaries of sustainable farming. We’re looking forward to seeing how these technologies will transform our operations.”
