As our planet's climate changes and population grows, water scarcity for agriculture is an increasingly challenging issue. However, as we work to solve this problem, we are faced with another challenge—water waste in agricultural practices.
Current irrigation systems consist of wired components and give little visibility into their system's performance. The solution is to modernize our irrigation systems to improve water productivity and resource conservation. Unfortunately, these systems are not farmer-friendly, often adding to the already complex irrigation system. That's where a new smart valve like Lumo comes into play.
Unlike traditional irrigation systems, which are complex and difficult to manage, Lumo's wireless smart valves are equipped with built-in flow meters that offer a simple and effective solution. These valves enable growers to save water, reduce costs, and improve crop quality by providing complete accountability of system performance.
"Our smart valves not only allow farmers to have full control of their irrigation, they also provide real-time data visualization to help them monitor the flow rate in the network for any leaks or clogs that could lead to energy waste," says Devon Wright, CEO of Lumo. "With easy installation and long-lasting, solar-charged batteries, Lumo's intuitive irrigation management software balances user-friendly features with customized control, making it a game-changer for growers looking to be more efficient in their irrigation practices."
Lumo's smart valves are a true game-changer that can revolutionize the agricultural industry, increasing water productivity and minimizing labor and energy consumption. With its all-in-one system, farmers can reap the benefits of technological innovation and make a positive impact on the planet as a whole.
Thanks to cloud connectivity, farmers can easily control and monitor the valves remotely, saying goodbye to manual labor and hello to complete visibility into flow health and irrigation performance, and water and energy waste. Plus, by irrigating at off-peak hours, energy costs are further reduced.
"For efficient water usage, having accurate data is essential. Lumo is fully integrated with the irrigation system, and its real-time data can help inform day-to-day decisions and easily map water use over any period of time," says Wright.
Lumo's onboarding process is unique and customized to each client's needs, beginning with a discussion to understand their goals, followed by a site visit to explore the layout and determine the ideal position of solar panels for optimal valve performance. The wireless network is designed, including the cellular backhaul and relay units. Installation can be completed by the team, or in conjunction with farmers.
The activation process involves walking farmers through the software dashboard and educating them on scheduling and flow health monitoring. Lumo also provides a 24/7 support team to assist with any queries or challenges.
What sets Lumo apart from the competition is their proprietary irrigation management system that delivers full accountability and complete optimization of the irrigation process. With monitoring and alerting of valve performance, as well as a user-friendly software and hardware interface, growers can focus on what they do best without worrying about labor, water, and energy issues. Needless to say, Lumo's advanced technology and commitment to sustainable agriculture make them a valuable partner in addressing the challenges of water scarcity and resource conservation in the agriculture industry.
