CropX Launches a New Era of Sustainable Irrigation in New Zealand

Brings Revolutionary Evapotranspiration Monitoring for Precision Irrigation

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CropX, a global leader of digital agricultural solutions, is launching throughout the Australasia region a first-of-its-kind sensor for monitoring the real-time plant water use in a field through evapotranspiration (ET). This new, above-canopy sensor connects to the CropX agronomic farm management system to give its users an unprecedented knowledge of crop water use and needs, allowing for data-driven irrigation scheduling and remote management that maximizes water efficiency.

CropX’s Actual ET sensor vastly increases the knowledge of water use at the soil and plant level so that farmers can make well-informed agronomic decisions. Users of the CropX system can reduce irrigation water by up to 50% while still protecting, and even improving, the productivity of their fields.

CropX’s agronomic farm management system links sensors in fields and satellite data with cloud-based advanced agronomic analytics. The system delivers field, weather, and crop data and recommendations via mobile or desktop app. CropX’s soil sensors collect data that is transformed into helpful visualizations and advisory insights that guide the timing and amount of irrigation, fungal disease crop protection, and planting and harvest dates, while acting as a recording repository for on-farm management activities. In New Zealand, Dairy Holdings, a dairy collective that covers over 20,000 hectares, has used CropX as a key tool to reduce irrigation use by 30% while improving the quality and quantity of their yield.

The CropX Actual ET sensor can be used alongside soil moisture sensors to gain a complete picture of water use in a field. It can also be an alternative to a soil moisture sensor when rocky soils make an in-ground soil moisture sensor challenging. Regional evapotranspiration values are commonly used by farmers to estimate how much and when to irrigate, but the CropX option offers the first measurement that covers a specific field on a daily basis. This specificity can reveal microclimate differences, crop stage water uptake differences, and can provide an early detection method for crop stress.  

The evapotranspiration technology came from CropX’s 2022 acquisition of Tule Technologies, a California-based agricultural tech company that developed the patented technology. CropX further has continued to refine the tech and developed a version that can be mounted on a center pivot.

Eitan Dan, managing director of CropX Australasia, says, “It is exciting to bring evapotranspiration sensing to New Zealand and Australia and the rest of the region, as we expand the universe of tools for effectively managing water, the most valuable natural resource we have.”

Additional benefits of the evapotranspiration sensor include the reduction on the reliance on weather stations for ET; field-scale insights that offer a clearer view of field water-use dynamics; and seasonal ET data that can provide insights into how factors like temperature swings and droughts impact water use that can help inform irrigation planning and water budgeting for future seasons.

In New Zealand and Australia, CropX is sold through local dealers. To find a local dealer or to become one, contact us at info.nz@cropx.com.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cargobase, a logistics technology platform for enterprise shippers, today announced that it has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, specifically meeting the Security, Availability and Confidentiality (SAC) Trust Services Criteria. This independent verification underscores Cargobase’s commitment to data security, system reliability and the protection of sensitive information, reinforcing the company’s dedication to setting industry benchmarks in secure logistics solutions. This attestation complements Cargobase’s ISO 27001 certification, further strengthening the foundation of trust our customers rely on.

“We’re proud to announce that Cargobase has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, demonstrating our commitment to data security and meeting the evolving needs of our clients. Recognizing the growing importance of this requirement within the industry, we’ve invested in robust security measures to provide our customers with the confidence and assurance they require,” said Wiebe Helder, CEO at Cargobase.

“In the dynamic world of logistics and supply chain management, large volumes of sensitive data are exchanged daily,” said Arnout Wagenaar, Chief Strategy Officer at Cargobase. “Data security is paramount for our customers, who entrust us with information critical to their operations. Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance underscores our unwavering commitment to data integrity and protection, thus building trust with our partners and allowing us to better serve the needs of enterprise shippers worldwide.”

Understanding SOC 2 Compliance

The SOC 2 framework is a globally recognized standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It focuses on Trust Services Criteria, including Security, Availability and Confidentiality to ensure that systems are protected from unauthorized access, reliably available to customers and employees, and that sensitive information remains confidential.

What is SOC 2 Type II Compliance?

Obtaining a SOC 2 report involves a CPA audit to attest to an organization’s security controls. It aims to determine whether the controls put in place are designed correctly.

Type I reports evaluate an organization’s controls at a single point in time, whereas a Type II report examines how well those controls perform over a period of time (typically 3-12 months).

What it means for our customers

This achievement reaffirms Cargobase’s position as a trusted partner for enterprise shippers worldwide. By prioritizing data security, we empower our clients to navigate the complexities of global logistics with peace of mind.
