Problem
Many farms rely on manual, labor‑intensive irrigation scheduling and lack real‑time visibility into water use, leading to over‑irrigation, wasted resources, and increased operational costs.
Solution
Verdi retrofits existing irrigation infrastructure with wireless, sensor‑driven controllers that can be installed in minutes. The system connects valves, pumps, drip lines and soil‑moisture sensors to a cloud platform, enabling remote scheduling, automated flow control based on live sensor data, and instant alerts for leaks or failures. Farmers manage irrigation from a smartphone or web dashboard, where they can view real‑time water usage, receive verification that water was applied, and generate reports for compliance. By automating irrigation at the block or row level, Verdi helps growers reduce water consumption by up to 30%, increase yields by 10–20%, and cut labor costs by $250–$500 per acre, delivering rapid ROI.
Target Audience
Verdi serves specialty crop growers, vineyards, orchards and other mid‑size farms that operate existing irrigation systems and seek to improve water efficiency and labor productivity.
