Field telemetry at scale
Weather, soil-moisture and crop-condition data that needs to flow reliably from hundreds of sensors in remote locations back to a central platform.
Agriculture & agritech
Field telemetry, irrigation, and research-grade decision support
SAP + IoT for agricultural research institutions, agritech ventures and farming cooperatives — field telemetry, irrigation automation, mechanisation mapping and research-backed decision support.
What we see in this sector
Sector-specificpressures
Irrigation automation
Precision irrigation that responds to actual conditions rather than a fixed schedule — reducing water use without sacrificing yield.
Seasonality + volatility
ERP and planning systems that have to flex to a seasonal pattern and absorb weather, pest and pricing shocks mid-cycle.
Research-to-field gap
Research-institute recommendations that take years to reach the farmer who needs them — a knowledge-dissemination problem that software is well-suited to.
Why we build the hardware too
Most SAP partners stop at the API — the sensor data is somebody else’s problem. Our agritech work doesn’t have that luxury: in agricultural research we often are that somebody else.
Smart Weather Station is a product APx builds. PIAS, OSDA — same. Owning the sensor-to-dashboard stack means we can design the integration from both ends, instead of reverse-engineering someone else’s data format at the last minute.
It’s slower work and narrower in scope than general SAP consulting, but it’s the reason agricultural research institutions choose us.
Frequently asked
Common questions fromagriculture leaders
Do you build the IoT sensors or just integrate existing ones?
Both. Smart Weather Station is our own product — solar-powered, single-pole, built for Indian field conditions. Where clients already have sensors deployed, we integrate via LoRaWAN, NB-IoT or cellular backhaul through SAP Event Mesh into HANA.
Can your irrigation automation work on existing drip systems?
Yes. PIAS retrofits onto existing drip or sprinkler lines via wireless solenoid-valve controllers. The automation logic (soil moisture + weather + crop stage) runs on the edge; readings and events sync back to a central dashboard.
How is research turned into field guidance?
OSDA is a hybrid decision-support model — research-institute recommendations curated into practical, field-ready decision rules, served through a mobile app to farmers and field officers. New recommendations flow through a review step before field release.
Do you work with Indian agricultural universities and research bodies?
Yes — co-development partners include Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth (MPKV), the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and ICAR-IIHR. The products are shaped by their research and deployed through their extension networks.
