Reliability is the most important thing in agtech hardware.
It’s the key to unlocking the value of irrigation automation for growers.
You need to be able to rely on:
Valves opening and closing at the right times
Pumps turning on and hitting the right pressure
The system sending you an alert if something goes wrong
The data you’re seeing on your phone being trustworthy and accurate
If you can’t rely on these things, then you’re going to send someone to check the valves and the pump and the lines, and all of the labor savings go out the window.
That’s why reliability is an obsession at Lumo.
That’s why flow meters are built into our smart valves in one integrated unit. Not wired in after the fact.
That’s why our average response time to incoming inquiries from customers was 11 minutes and 18 seconds last season.
For too long, growers haven’t been able to trust automation. They haven’t been able to rely on it operating correctly when they needed it the most, and they haven’t had the visibility required to build trust in the data.
Without that visibility, that trust, the whole value proposition falls apart.
That’s why we engineered reliability in from the start.
And continue to obsess over it today.
