Irrigation automation, soil moisture and climate sensing
Managing irrigation for such a large orchard is no easy task. The installed sensors provide real-time data on valve activity using pressure sensors. Being able to visualize this information through the climate and soil platform helps us make better decisions for scheduling irrigation and fertilization. This has allowed us to achieve efficient water use and proper water management, reducing both our water footprint and, consequently, our carbon footprint
One of the biggest benefits of the DropControl platform for us is the integration of all information into a single system. Having access to account dashboards, for example, enables faster decision-making and optimizes the use of both our human and financial resources

I highly recommend WiseConn/SmartDrop. They always provide reliable technical support and follow up whenever needed, and they’re constantly improving their platform to keep up with our needs
