Lumo is a smart irrigation system that helps growers save water, improve crop quality and reduce costs. Smart valves with built in flow meters provide automation, control and advanced reporting that closes the loop between planned and actual water consumption - no complicated scheduling, logging or manual configuration is required. Since Lumo is cloud-managed, it can be controlled and monitored from anywhere, reducing the number of required site visits and time spent on-site, thereby reducing labor costs. Finally, growers can easily irrigate with precision, so they can achieve profitability with every drop. To learn more about Lumo, visit lumo.ag
