IoT revolutionizes reel irrigation, an innovation serving agriculture: Discover Raindancer !

The hose reel is a central tool in agricultural irrigation, renowned for its versatility and efficiency in watering plots in successive bands. This equipment relies on several key hydraulic characteristics: diameter, length, forward speed and operating pressure. Over the past twenty years, innovations in hose reels have focused on optimizing systems and facilitating management by the farmer. The result: water savings of between 5% and 15%.(Maitriser_l_irrigation_par_enrouleur_65.pdf /Plaquette enrouleur version 2012)

Today, the arrival of the Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling an unprecedented transformation in reel irrigation. (An overview of smart irrigation systems using IoT – ScienceDirect). This cutting-edge technology goes far beyond optimization, introducing a new level of reel management and control. By combining IoT and irrigation, it is now possible to achieve additional water and energy savings of between 5% and 10%, while making reel management easier for farmers.

The integration of IoT in the reels makes it possible to monitor several crucial parameters in real time. These include the positioning of the cart, its forward speed and the operating pressure of the irrigation gun. What’s more, thanks to hardware innovations, the irrigation angles of the gun can be precisely controlled over 360°, throughout its movement across the plot. These advanced functionalities transform the reel into a truly intelligent irrigation management tool, limiting water losses and the need for manual intervention.

With this breakthrough, hose-reel irrigation reaches a new level of performance: precise water distribution, reduced losses, significant energy savings and fewer interventions in the field. Farmers benefit from more efficient, more sustainable irrigation.

SOVERDI invites you to discover Raindancer. It’s an IoT irrigation solution compatible with the majority of hose reels on the market. With Raindancer, irrigation becomes simpler, smarter and more economical.
