If your farm drip-irrigates but the valves are opened by hand — or with a controller that makes you walk to the head unit to change anything — part of every day of the season goes into opening and closing rounds. And irrigating at night, when energy is cheaper, means someone gets up early. Automation with LoRaWAN wireless valves removes both: each sector opens and closes on its own, following the plan you approve, from your phone.
No trenches or cabling to each sector: every LoRaWAN valve communicates by radio with your farm’s gateway. The schedule lives in the valve itself, so irrigation continues even if coverage drops momentarily.
Every farm starts from a different point, and the proposal adapts to it. We work with three scenarios depending on the electrical state of your installation: a suitable panel with compatible valves; valves that need replacing; or a farm with no previous automation. The technical visit determines which — and its cost is deducted if you sign up.
Every opening is logged. Manual control remains available at all times: from the app and physically in the field. Automatic irrigation doesn’t take away the wheel; it takes away the rounds.
The same infrastructure that removes your valve rounds today can tomorrow execute a weekly irrigation plan with CSIC agronomic judgement: how much and when to irrigate each sector, decided with your farm’s data.
How SAQIA decides the irrigation planIn development
We are working on advanced pumping-station control. It is a feature in development, with no committed date: if it matters to you, ask us and we will tell you its real status.
We schedule the amount of water your farm needs from the integrated water balance and local weather.
SAQIA: We decideSAQIA executes the plan on your valves; you supervise.
The infrastructure is yours
The gateway, the weather station and the sensors become part of your farm’s assets from the day of installation. So does the data. No perpetual rentals, no dependence on network operators — built on the industrial LoRaWAN standard.
And we will tell you what your farm needs to automate: scenario, equipment and steps. The technical visit is deducted if you sign up.
