Lumo , the precision irrigation company that invented the smart irrigation valves , and AvidWater , a statewide full-service irrigation company , have announced a |
new strategic partnership to bring Lumo ’ s precision irrigation system and AvidWater ’ s unparalleled service to more California growers . |
The expansion comes on the heels of Lumo ’ s overwhelming success in Napa and Sonoma . Over 70 vineyards and 5 of the 10 largest winegrape growers in the US are already using Lumo smart valves to automate their irrigation and dial in their precision . With 24 / 7 remote control and block-level visibility into applied water volumes , growers are finally able to reliably verify that their crops are receiving the right amounts of water at the right times . AvidWater has a proven track record of helping growers adopt and implement leading irrigation technology to improve crop outcomes , reduce waste and drive efficiency gains . Partnering |
with Lumo to sell , install and support their smart-valve system is a logical continuation of that tradition and will strengthen AvidWater ’ s ability to deliver differentiated value to their customer base . As the industry continues to face economic headwinds — changing weather patterns , labour shortages , increasing regulatory oversight — the need for cost-effective automation solutions with built-in accountability only continues to grow . This strategic partnership between AvidWater and Lumo will help pave the way forward to a more efficient , sustainable and profitable future for growers . |
