Autonomous Pivot

Autonomous Pivot provides an integrated agronomic AI solution for center pivots used in row crops. The company transforms standard irrigation equipment into an intelligent data collection platform by mounting an array of sensors and cameras directly onto the pivots. This hardware captures field data, including crop images, soil moisture via ground-penetrating radar, rainfall, and water pressure. The collected information is synthesized with satellite imagery and online weather forecasts by an AI engine to provide farmers with real-time insights, such as water balance calculations and automated alerts for potential crop pests, diseases, or other field anomalies. The system is designed to provide actionable irrigation recommendations that can be used to control pivots automatically, aiming to optimize resource use and maximize crop yields. By focusing scouting efforts on identified issues rather than random checks, the solution acts as a resource-saving tool for farmers and agronomists, reducing costs and water usage while increasing output. The company has a multi-year operating history and reports high customer retention.
