Irrigation Systems

Olive Irrigation Systems

Olives are drought-tolerant, but modern olive growing uses precise, often deficit, irrigation to make the most of every drop. WiseConn helps olive growers irrigate with precision: automate every valve, monitor soil moisture and weather in real time, and water based on data, all on top of the drip system you already run.

Why precision irrigation matters for olives

Olives can survive on little water, but growers who irrigate, whether for oil or table olives, increasingly use controlled and deficit irrigation to use water efficiently. That requires precise, measured control, not a fixed schedule.

Precision irrigation lets you apply a measured watering strategy block by block, with the soil and weather data to back every decision, across the whole grove.

Automate your olive irrigation with WiseConn

WiseConn brings field hardware and the DropControl platform together into a single system for managing irrigation across your whole grove. Rugged field nodes monitor and control the grove, while DropControl gives you a web dashboard and a mobile app to manage it from anywhere.

  • RF-M1 monitoring node for soil and environmental monitoring across the orchard.
  • RF-V1 valve controller for wireless control of latch valves, block by block.
  • RF-C1 irrigation controller for local control with multiple inputs and relays.
  • RF-X1 monitoring and control for multi-sensor, flexible automation.

DropControl is built on an open architecture, so you can start with monitoring on your current setup and scale to full automation at your own pace.

How it works

  • Field nodes collect soil moisture, weather and system data and send it into DropControl to help make better informed decisions.
  • Data flows to the cloud and is available in real time through the DropControl web platform and mobile app.
  • You define irrigation rules and schedules, and the system runs them automatically, opening and closing valves block by block.
  • Three roles, one platform: irrigators run day-to-day watering from the mobile app, farm managers make decisions and report from the web, and owners track water use and sustainability.

What growers gain

Water savings

Irrigate from real soil and weather data, not a fixed calendar. Growers typically reduce water use by 20 to 40 percent depending on their starting point.

Energy savings

Pump only when the grove needs it and shift watering to lower-cost hours.

Labor savings

Automate valve operation across the grove and run it with a small supervising team instead of opening valves by hand.
