CattleCon 2026: Ranchbot Monitoring Solutions — Remote Water Management

Ranchbot Monitoring Solutions provides remote water-monitoring technology to help ranchers manage livestock water more efficiently.

NASHVILLE, TENN. (RFD NEWS) — We are celebrating the final day of CattleCon 2026 in Nashville, where companies have spent the week presenting a wide range of new technologies and tools to help ranchers work more efficiently.

RFD NEWS caught up with Andrew Coppin, CEO of Ranchbot Monitoring Solutions, on the trade show floor to discuss how remote water monitoring can help producers address one of the biggest challenges for any ranching operation — water management — and mitigate the increasing impact of water shortages on animal health, productivity, and ag land values.

In his interview, Coppin explains how his company’s technology is at the forefront of this conversation, helping farmers and ranchers monitor water reservoirs in real time to use water more efficiently, reduce labor hours, and gain greater visibility across large, dispersed operations.
