Goanna Ag, and its partner Myriota, has announced the commercial launch of two new products set to change how farmers manage water resources: GoRain and GoTank.
GoRain allows farmers to monitor rain data remotely, gain a better understanding of rain variability across their farms and enable data-driven decisions to support stronger crop yields.
GoTank is designed for the livestock industry, and remotely updates farmers on water tank levels. It ensures livestock wellbeing and removes the need to manually check water tanks.
The partnership between Goanna Ag and Myriota will see GoRain and GoTank devices make use of Myriota’s network of nanosatellites, which provides a low-cost, low-power solution for IoT connected devices.
Goanna Ag chief executive officer Alicia Garden believes GoRain and GoTank will play an important role in the future success of Australia’s $62 billion agriculture sector.
“Rainfall is the fundamental driver of agricultural production, and while we can’t make it rain more, GoRain and GoTank will bring confidence to decision making for our hard-working food and fibre producers,” Ms Garden said.
“We believe that this technology will transform the Australian market and provide the information needed to support the industry in even the most challenging times.”
Pricing for the GoRain is $900 plus GST, with the GoTank costing $1150 plus GST. Platform and connectivity for both devices starts at $120 per year from year two.
