IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT NODE
It allows fully automated irrigation management by opening and closing solenoid valves.
IRRIGATION MONITORING NODE
The irrigation monitoring device allows real-time monitoring of the amount of water being delivered during each irrigation shift.
.
PRESSOSTAT NODE
The pressostat node allows the operating status of the irrigation system to be checked in real time.
AGRI-VOLTAIC MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT NODES
The devices for monitoring and managing the agri-voltaic system allow the position of the solar panels to be oriented in accordance with the detected microclimate and based on the physiological needs of the crop.
i4fruit
i4fruit represents a business network between five companies iFarming, Romagna Impianti, Comavit, Arrigoni and Scarabelli Irrigazione to provide agricultural enterprises with a complete system, starting from design to installation including poles, nets, irrigation system and sensors.
In addition, i4fruit allows access to tax credit, as it is part of the technologically advanced equipment, and therefore the entire plant is recognised as part of the investment made.
WATER PROVISIONING
Integration with the collected data by iFarming, combined with the information gathered by satellite from Manna by Rivulis, makes it possible to generate the water recommendation to know exactly how much water to give back to the crop each day.
