Remote water monitoring provides easy access to water management

For many ranchers, their herd’s access to water is a constant priority and worry. Driving to and from each tank to check water levels and tank conditions can take hours out of the day, resulting in wasted time on the road, increased labor costs and countless gallons of fuel burned. With these difficulties in mind, Ranchbot has developed reliable, remote water monitoring solutions that can be viewed anytime, anywhere from the palm of your hand.

Founded and proven in Australia, Ranchbot’s remote monitoring gives beef producers the ability to know their water conditions from anywhere. Real-time updates observed via phone or tablet through satellite connection takes one of the most labor-, fuel- and time-consuming tasks on the ranch from a manual job to a quick, automatic process.

“We founded Ranchbot to ease strains on cattle producers and give them back their most precious commodity – time,” said Andrew Coppin, Ranchbot founder and CEO. “We’re passionate about sustainable cattle production and water management, and we’re confident that Ranchbot systems are the best solution available for producers to keep an eye on their water without wasting resources.”

Ranchbot alerts producers when water levels are low, high or rapidly falling and allows them to prioritize and allocate resources where they are needed most at the beginning of each day. With a variety of uncertain conditions on the ranch, producers should have peace of mind that their water is in their control.

“We have been using Ranchbot for the past year and a half and look forward to expanding our usage of Ranchbot,” said Seth Scribner, ranch manager for Centennial Livestock in California. “Being in an arid ranching environment where we receive about 14 inches of rainfall each year and have 110-degree temperatures in the summertime, water is very crucial, and anything that helps our watering system is a plus in our book.”

More than 150 U.S. ranchers like Scribner have already implemented Ranchbot technology on their operations and experienced the ease of use, convenience and affordability of the monitoring solution. When asking customers about their experience with Ranchbot, the company hears high praise, like “Ranchbot eliminated worrisome wondering of what the water levels are,” “It’s one of the best improvements I’ve ever invested in,” and “Ranchbot is extremely simple to install.”

Ranchbot Water Level Sensors mount on the top of watering sources like tanks, wells and dams, with installation taking 10-15 minutes per sensor. The water level is measured using a probe and transmitted to the MyRanchbot platform via satellite connection, making it accessible even in areas of limited accessibility.

“We just mounted it up, dropped the probe in, switched it on and it has completely taken care of itself,” said Russel Tobias, rancher in central California. “It has been zero hassle, no maintenance, completely reliable and has worked out fantastic on our ranch.”

Ranchbot will be attending the Cattle Industry Convention & NCBA Trade Show on February 1-3, 2023, in New Orleans to announce the launch of their product for American ranchers.

“We are thrilled to be officially launching our product to U.S. ranchers,” Coppin said. “We are now manufacturing sensors here within the U.S. and have a great team available to support our customers, answer questions and provide advice on how Ranchbot could work within their ranching operation.”
