Real-time fluid monitoring for agricultural operations
Your chemicals are spread across the property. Do you know what is left?
Fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and adjuvants are stored in barns, outbuildings, and field-side stations across your property. When application season hits, running out of the right chemical at the wrong time means missed windows, wasted labor, and reduced yields. The IQ-1 Monitor gives you real-time visibility into every container, from anywhere.
Missed application windows cost more than the chemical
Agricultural chemicals have to be applied at the right time. A pesticide applied a week late is a crop loss. A fertilizer that runs out mid-application means uneven coverage and reduced yields. And when chemicals are stored across multiple buildings and field locations, nobody checks every container every day.
The typical response is over-ordering — keeping extra inventory on hand to avoid running out. But that ties up capital in chemicals that may expire or degrade before they are used. The real problem is not supply. It is visibility.
Real-time levels for every container on the property
Know what you have before application season starts
See fill levels across all your chemical storage locations from one dashboard. Plan your purchasing based on actual inventory, not last season’s invoices or a walk-through estimate.
Monitor consumption during application
Track how fast chemicals are being used during spraying, fertigation, and treatment operations. If a sprayer is pulling more chemical than expected, you will see it in the data before you run out in the field.
Catch problems at remote storage sites
Chemicals stored in outbuildings, pump houses, and field-side stations are out of sight. The IQ-1 reports over cellular — no Wi-Fi needed — so you get alerts even from remote locations with no connectivity infrastructure.
Track regulatory chemicals with consumption history
Pesticide and herbicide usage records are increasingly required for compliance. The IQ-1 provides a continuous consumption log that shows exactly when chemical was drawn from each container and how much was used.
Why real-time data beats manual inventory checks
| What you do today | What changes with Readybit |
|---|---|
| Walk to each storage location to check levels | See all containers from your phone or office computer |
| Over-order to avoid running out during application windows | Order based on actual levels and consumption rates |
| No data on how fast chemicals are being consumed | Consumption tracking shows draw rates during operations |
| Remote storage sites go unchecked for days or weeks | Cellular-connected sensors report from anywhere with coverage |
| Manual logs for pesticide and herbicide usage | Automated consumption history for compliance records |
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The IQ-1 works on standard plastic drums (30 and 55 gallon), IBC totes (275 and 330 gallon), 5-gallon pails, and 2.5-gallon jugs. It measures through the container wall using radar — no probes, no contact with the chemical.
Yes. The sensor communicates over cellular, so it works anywhere with cell coverage. No Wi-Fi, no gateway, and no IT infrastructure required. This makes it ideal for barns, outbuildings, pump houses, and field-side storage.
The sensor tracks consumption continuously, creating a log of when chemical was drawn from each container and how much was used. This data can support regulatory reporting requirements for pesticide and herbicide application records.
Yes. The sensor is waterproof and outdoor-rated. It is designed for real-world conditions including rain, temperature extremes, and dusty environments.
Yes. The IQ-1 works with any liquid stored in a compatible plastic container. Fertilizer solutions, irrigation treatment chemicals, adjuvants, and other agricultural liquids can all be monitored.
The dashboard shows exactly how much chemical you have on hand across all storage locations. Instead of estimating based on last season or keeping extra safety stock, you can order based on actual levels and projected consumption rates.
