Aglantis Hosts Smart Irrigation Demo

Last week on Thursday, December 5, Burdekin based company Aglantis, launched their smart irrigation, on-farm Smart Irrigation Demo Field Day with great success.

Led by Luke Malan, Aglantis’ Managing Director, between 40-50 farmers turned up for the demo to witness the future of smart irrigation solutions in operation, today.

Luke ran through what they’ve been able to achieve, how they operate, the ease of installation, and the low-cost entry point for local farmers of the Burdekin, which pleased the many farmers in attendance.

Farmers can take advantage of better, more efficient irrigation practices, which is all run via an app on their smartphone that controls and monitors water management, receives alerts to valve control and remotely opens and closes pumps on their farming properties.

Aglantis has been able to take normally complex structures and make them simpler to use, accessible, and more affordable. Their demonstration was met with interest, with several farmers seeing firsthand the benefits of such a system in practice.

The future of farming looks very bright indeed, thanks to Aglantis’ smart irrigation solutions.
