Our story

Our Story - How we got to where we are today

We started off building devices that could survive the harshest agricultural environments. Over time, we realized that the same principles of reliability, accuracy, ease-of-use, and strong signal in tough locations were desperately needed in other industries where downtime is not an option.

Today, CropWatch is trusted by operations teams across cold storage, hospitality, manufacturing, and agriculture to deliver resilient IoT devices and network hardware that keep facilities compliant and efficient. Our mission remains unchanged: to provide industrial-grade IoT solutions that empower operators with reliable data and insights, no matter the environment.
