Alvarez Technology Group

CEO: Luis Alvarez

Because Alvarez Technology Group's business is located in Salinas, California, where many agricultural businesses operate, CEO Luis Alvarez has been able to use IoT solutions to solve algricultural industry issues such as asset monitoring and operational efficiencies.

For example, the solution provider has been working with Netherlands-based Floricultura, which transports orchid seedlings to San Francisco to be grown in a greenhouse.

The solution provider has connected the greenhouse so that robots drop plants into larger cups as they grow and add more dirt – a process that Alvarez said is completely automated and controlled at the back end.

On the services side of IoT, Alvarez Technology Group then has managed services contracts with companies to make sure the solutions are fully maintained.
