About Phytech:
​
Phytech are the largest IoT agtech service provider in Australia with a footprint across all the major irrigated regions. The Phytech service centers around a range of proprietary plant and environmental sensors, along with cloud-based algorithms, that enable growers to view the real time irrigation needs of their crops. Data is collected and analyzed automatically, then displayed to the grower using a simple smartphone or web interface. Irrigation automation control recently became an optional addition to the Phytech offering. This all leads to improved water use efficiency, optimised yields and higher quality produce. The business model is solution-as-a-service, whereby Phytech develops, owns, deploys and maintains the necessary field hardware and the grower pays a seasonal subscription fee. Target irrigated crops for the Sunraysia region include apples, pears, stonefruit, walnuts, cherries and grapes. The service is already in use across Sunraysia for the last eight years by a growing mix of family farms and major corporate operations.
