Innovation plays a crucial role in the development of companies, and Wiseconn has managed to position itself as an undisputed leader in the field of technological solutions. With a pioneering approach and a cutting-edge mindset, this company has revolutionized the industry with its cutting-edge products and services.
This company is focused on agricultural technology (AgTech), with more than 16 years of experience in the agricultural sector, thanks to the development of automation solutions and management of sensors connected to the Internet (IoT).
Wiseconn has more than 15,000 units installed in more than 3,000 projects in Chile, Peru, Mexico, the United States and Australia, whose work is aimed at improving the management of a resource as important as water, all from the cloud and with an advanced local control system.
In this regard, Tomás Vicente, Commercial Manager for Latam at WiseConn, spoke about the products and services that the company offers to the agricultural world, as well as its foray into the world of cherries and its arrival at Smartcherry.
«It is a technology composed of on-site equipment (Nodes) and a powerful web platform and Mobile App, developed by Wiseconn and which allows the comprehensive management of water in agriculture. Through a network of Nodes (Rtu) on the ground, it is possible to monitor and control wells, canals, pumps, reservoir levels; as well as the automation of irrigation equipment, filters, advanced fertilization, management of frequency inverters and more."the brand's representative initially said.
Likewise, Tomás Vicente argued that, "In addition, we can operate valves wirelessly via radio and integrate different climate, soil, plant, and aerial image sensors, among other functions and features; thanks to a proprietary network of Nodes that have an advanced and robust control algorithm that is patented. Finally, all the information is sent to a web platform and Mobile App where customers can access information and control over their irrigation systems remotely and in real time.«.
«Our Dropcontrol Platform has received several international awards, highlighting the
American magazine CropLife, which highlighted it among the four best applications
agricultural for 2022 and the manufacturer DIGI Internacional as an award for the best solution in the
Smart Agriculture category in 2021", added the commercial manager.
What is Wiseconn's comparative advantage versus other crop monitoring and control companies in terms of technology, reach and success?
Our more than 16 years of experience in the market and the positioning we currently have in more than 5 countries validate DropControl as a robust and reliable solution. This is of vital importance to our clients, as they trust our teams to work 24/7 collecting vital information for decision-making.
Another very important point that deserves to be highlighted is that DropControl is currently a solution that allows you to know what is happening in terms of water management, from the client's water source to how much water each of my crops requires, generating a significant impact on the efficiency of use of a resource as valuable as water.
How can Wiseconn help cherry growers improve the quality and yield of their crops?
We know that the implementation of technology has a positive effect on the business. What is important in the case of DropControl is how this implementation of technology crossed with comprehensive management (irrigation, climate, soil, etc.) allows even further increasing savings. Currently, in cherry orchards, we know that there is a post-harvest period that is vital for the following season in terms of production. Many of our cherry orchard clients can validate the post-harvest strategy in terms of knowing specifically how much less water they are irrigating during this period and, for example, validate said strategy with soil moisture probes, all seen on the same platform in the same graph. Through the implementation of technology, clients have managed not only to reduce water use, but also to improve the ratio of liter of water / kilogram of fruit while maintaining their sizes (which largely determines the producer's return)..
What is the relevance for Wiseconn to be part of Smartcherry's supplier portfolio?
Currently, cherry cultivation in our country has taken on an important role in the market. We have seen sustained increases in production and a significant increase in terms of surface area (in the last 5 years, production and exports have doubled).
As a result, many of our clients today have cherry trees and use DropControl to be able to efficiently manage them. Having information is vital for the above, but the most important thing is to have reliable and quality information, characteristics that Smartcherry works on to provide its clients with the highest quality information.
In short, Wiseconn has left an indelible mark on the industry with its visionary approach and portfolio of technology solutions. Furthermore, its commitment to innovation, quality and customer satisfaction positions it as a benchmark in the field.
