At Vinduino we strive to make the best possible system to help farmers improve crop results while reducing input cost.
Our system therefore integrates accurate predictive irrigation intelligence with field tested automated wireless control of the irrigation valves.
Automation brings an immediate labor cost saving on the (manual) irrigation valve operation. With Vinduino you have a positive return on investment within the first year of installation.
Vinduino’s superior irrigation control accuracy delivers 2 x better results on water use, yield and crop quality.
Farmers can expect up to 10 x return on cost after 5 years with the Vinduino integrated solution.
Permanent crops express improvements in water use, yield and fruit quality incrementally over multiple seasons.
In the chart we conservatively estimate 4 x 5% increments of annual improvements, to a total of 20%.
Without the irrigation control accuracy of the Vinduino irrigation automation system, achievable savings will be lower. We found typical 10% improvements at non-automated farms. In the chart below we estimate 10% of annual improvements.
Because there is no irrigation labor cost saving with “monitoring only” competitor solutions, their return on investment is estimated 3 years. Farmers can expect up to 2.5 x return only on cost after 5 years with “monitoring only” solutions.
Vinduino integrated irrigation provides a 4 x better 5-year return vs a monitoring only solution.
