Infrastructure Evolution
Connectivity Past
No Cell Service/WiFi
Data was transported via walkie-talkies or by physically driving paper logs across the acreage. Basic cell service was non-existent.
Outdated IT Rack
In-office connectivity suffered from limited bandwidth, intermittent failures due to weather, and lack of maintenance due to the remote location of the farm.
Vulnerable Expensive Networking
Multiple DSL Lines, Non-operational hotspots, and expensive useless network SLAs.
Connectivity Future
1200 Acres of Pure Connectivity
Deployed a centralized 2Gbps backbone, unifying Fiber, WiFi, 5G, and LoRa endpoints to an on-site Data Center Pod.
Security & Computer Vision
Installed AI Surveillance Cameras, AI Access Controls, and a sensory environment consisting of soil, temperature, and chemical sensors for an intelligent Cyber-Physical System.
A WeatherProof Network Masterpiece
Laser Satellite Links between farm nodes through a resilient SD-WAN Network ensuring long distance networking. In any weather.
Soils
IIoT
Fiber

Data Past?
A Paper Trail
Forms, Folders, Cabinets, Maintenance Sheets, Forms, & Manual Archiving. Can we call this data?
Unintegrated Manual Tasks
From orders to payment processing, there was zero Quickbooks inventory and operations integrations. Any relational data was compiled on massive Excel spreadsheets.
Foren-Sick Compliance
Manual organic compliance screenings required staff to physically comb through countless paper archives, wasting hundreds of hours.
AI Data Future
The Organic Farm OS
Centralized data sources utilizing a beautifully simple Monday.com instance to aggregate all data in the cloud.
Farmers & iPads
Intuitive dashboards, datasets, and MDM powered iPads allowed staff to adapt and operate the farm anywhere on site, and remotely.
RAG AI Data Pathways
Knowing how much soil is being used to sell, grow produce, to which produce came from the soil to feed cattle. Any relation between data in your hands.

Orders
An AI Organic Farm
Added connectivity allowed us to find operational efficiencies through data that were not possible before.
Operational Excellence
Aggregated orders/logistics, resource management, and predictive maintenance on equipment and greenhouses.
Remote Operations and Automation
Automated irrigation based on weather patterns relational to inventory and orders.
Computer Vision
Cameras and sensors working together to alert and mitigate fire/safety protocols.
The Future of McEnroe
Caterpillar has expressed interest in utilizing our network to deploy electric farm equipment and developing a micro-grid in where tech such as V2G, BESS, and battery recycling can turn the farm into a fully sustainable operation. Our network allows Caterpillar to connect, test, and manage assets.
From Compost to Battery Recycling our impact is beyond the digital.
