Almanac and WiseConn Announce Strategic Partnership to Expand Smart Irrigation Access for Farmers
Fresno, CA – October 22, 2024 – While farmers can’t control the weather, they can
transform one of farming's most labor-intensive elements—irrigation—into a precise, data-driven
operation. Unlike conventional systems, smart irrigation leverages advanced technology to
optimize water usage, resulting in sustainable practices with healthier crops and a higher return
on investment (ROI).
Semios (now a part of Almanac) has partnered with WiseConn to integrate their irrigation
management solutions into Semios' broader agricultural technology platform. WiseConn’s
DropControl system enables growers to irrigate with precision, control water usage, and
achieve higher yields at lower costs. Through the SemiosConnectTM WiseConn integration,
users can publish irrigation schedules directly from the Semios platform, with automatic
execution in the field by the DropControl system, making irrigation and fertigation control easier
and data-driven.
With this partnership, Semios becomes a leading WiseConn equipment distributor, offering
excellent service and support to new and existing customers. The Semios Digital Field Solutions
team is composed of certified technicians who are fully trained to install and manage WiseConn
systems, ensuring seamless operation and maximum value for farmers. Known for their
precision, innovation, and hands-on support, the Digital Field Solutions team plays a crucial role
in bringing together the advanced technology of WiseConn and Semios’ data-driven platform to
create optimal farming solutions across Almanac companies and applications including Semios,
Agworld and more. By strengthening collaboration between companies, strategic roadmap
alignment will drive the accelerated evolution of products and services to address customer
challenges and consistently exceed expectations.
“This enhanced partnership brings together WiseConn’s industry-leading hardware for
monitoring and control —including irrigation and fertilizer pumps, filter flushing and valves,
weather stations, soil moisture probes, dendrometers, water quality and distribution uniformity
sensors—with Almanac’s AI-powered farm data analytics and field services,” said Sumer
Johal, CEO of Almanac. “Together, we’ll deliver seamless installation, unmatched reliability,
and exceptional support to farmers worldwide.”
Guillermo Valenzuela, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for WiseConn, said, “This
partnership translates into the only “one stop shop” for permanent crops, in the market.
WiseConn enables farmers to gain complete control of their water management— automating
irrigation and fertigation, now providing the best in class water management insights, with the
help of Almanac’s data analytics. These tools not only promote sustainability but also reduce
costs for the farmer,which is a winning combination in today’s competitive agricultural
landscape”
