WiSA Irrigation Systems

Water restrictions have driven many growers to explore water-saving technology.

Soil moisture probes and weather stations radio data back to a central computer containing WISA software and parameters are set to suit individual farms which operate pumps, valves and filters accordingly.

The technology is equally applicable to all farm types, and is currently being used by grain, grape, olive, fruit and vegetable growers. Importantly, systems can be tailored to suit specific needs.

 

 1. Moisture control for crop quality.

The WiSA irrigation management system captures soil moisture monitoring, sensors and weather data to enable precise control of water and nutrient applications.

All plants (particularly grapes and fruits) produce better quality fruit if water and nutrient availability is managed to encourage root growth, or alternatively, vegetative and fruit growth.A WiSA system effectively improves plant health and horticultural practices by ensuring the right amount of water and nutrients are applied at the right time.

As there are only a certain number of productive days from flowering to full ripe, a WiSA system means precious time is not lost to water logging or unnecessary stress due to lack of water, thereby increasing the potential quality and quantity of the crop.

Do you have issues with Nematode infestations - this can be solved relatively simple soil addition. Just ask !!

2. Accurate data in real time.

A WiSA System uses a dedicated PC as a central control system, which can be remotely "connected" to via the telephone and/or internet connection. This ensures optimum data retrieval and utilisation of the equipment. Accurate data is collected in real time - no delays, no guesswork, no mistakes - so you can act on the information received in the present moment.

Perhaps soil moisture conditions indicate a change in irrigation flow is needed. Maybe weather sensors indicate frost protection must be activated. Or perhaps you'd like to change your start and stop times to make the most of a particular rain event. Managing all these scenarios and every variation in between is possible with a WiSA system. You can even go away on holidays and manage your irrigations program from anywhere in the world.

3. Manage finite resources more effectively.

The effective and responsible use of water is an issue for farmers, communities and governments right around the world, especially in Australia where limited resources must be used as wisely as possible.
WiSA are committed to the sustainable future of irrigated farming and have developed technologies that support farmers in their quest to efficiently and profitable use of their water resource.
A WiSA system provides extensive and accurate weather, soil and crop information so farmers can pinpoint exactly when to water and how much, thereby eliminating the risk of over-watering. This approach can save significant amounts of water and money.
WiSA has diversified into all facets of refined water application and has our system management operating to suit Climate Changes anywhere in the world.

A Management System you can work from anywhere in the world.

WiSA irrigation management systems are proudly designed, manufactured and serviced right here in Australia. Both our hardware and software are designed by engineers who have hands-on farming building and design backgrounds, which mean they understand the needs and interests of Australian farmers the building industry and industrial applications first hand. WiSA also understands the need to knowledgeable, timely local backup-up.
With the use of remote control software, such as VNC or even Windows XP Professional's remote desktop, you can connect to your property from anywhere in the world, check the soil moisture/weather conditions and then alter scheduled irrigation events if required.

The WiSA system is unique based on Radio Telemetry and integrated components are part of the design not an add on, each of the modular units is designed as a repeater in its own right. This system gives you more control, greater accuracy allows you to use water more wisely and in most cases saves significant amounts of water demands far less of your time, but increases your yields and the quality of your produce.
Already, many growers - including grape, citrus, olive, nut, fruit, field and hydroponic vegetable producers - are experiencing end results that include reduced water consumption in many cases, healthier plants producing increased cops of higher quality.
