Lumo provides growers with block-level data and accountable automation for precision irrigation execution. This system closes the gap between planned and actual water delivery by using flow meters integrated into each valve to deliver irrigation by volume. The platform helps agricultural operations reduce pumping costs, increase crop quality, and improve labor efficiency through accurate water management.

Problem
Growers often face an "irrigation execution gap," where the volume of water they intend to deliver to specific blocks differs from the actual amount applied. This lack of precise control and visibility leads to suboptimal crop quality, increased operational costs, and reduced labor efficiency. Traditional systems lack granular data and automated accountability, making it difficult to achieve consistent, high-performance irrigation.
Solution
Lumo provides a precision irrigation platform that bridges the irrigation execution gap by enabling block-level data and accountable automation. The system utilizes smart valves equipped with integrated flow meters, allowing irrigation delivery to be controlled and logged by volume rather than duration. This approach provides growers with real-time visibility into water application, ensuring each block receives the intended amount. Lumo's automated system reduces manual intervention, minimizes errors, and allows for optimized irrigation scheduling, leading to improved crop outcomes and operational efficiencies. The platform's design prioritizes ease of installation and intuitive use, supporting growers in achieving greater control and peace of mind over their irrigation practices.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes commercial growers, vineyard managers, and agricultural cooperatives seeking to enhance irrigation precision, reduce operational costs, and improve crop yields through automated, data-driven solutions.
