Wisense
THE WEATHER UNIT
FOR AUTOMATED IRRIGATION
The key to water savings, which, due to climate change, is an increasingly critical issue for farms.
WiSense can be installed on new systems as well as existing ones, and is compatible with many types of available solenoid valves.
Its features allow it to operate even with a solar panel, without needing a power grid, by activating the energy-saving mode.
Management via PC or the Livedata APP enables the use of specialized DSS models for irrigation advice, which automatically calculate the crop’s water requirements based on field data, soil type, and the irrigation system.

Wisense
The WiSense control unit manages the solenoid valves of the irrigation system, both via cable and radio, reads flow rates and pressures in various sectors, controls pump activation, and automatically sends alerts in case of anomalies, offering full management via PC and APP.
Control through the Livedata APP and web portal allows remote execution of all main operations: setting and modifying irrigation schedules, configuring start and stop thresholds via sensors, sequential scheduling, and variable irrigation based on water requirements. It is also possible to configure the sending of automatic alerts in case of anomalies or missed scheduling.

INSTALLATION ACCESSORIES
- Installation pole: modular pole from 3 to 10 metres, with installation accessories. Includes accessories for sensor installation, in anodised aluminium and steel.
- Photovoltaic kit: photovoltaic panel complete with mounting brackets, rechargeable battery and steel container;
- Power supply: for connection to the mains (optional, as an alternative to the photovoltaic kit)
- Steel cabinet: for storing all boards and accessories (on request)
Thanks to integration with Netsens IoT technology, it can also read data from all sensors in the field (weather, climate, soil) and automatically adjust the duration of irrigation cycles to use only the amount of water actually needed.
Wireless IoT components
Around a main station equipped with the key weather and climate sensors, multiple wireless IoT units with micro-climatic sensors are positioned—up to 8 km away.
These serve as the data acquisition and communication units between the field sensors and the Livedata cloud platform, and are therefore included in both Meteosense stations and the Agrisense and Vinesense IoT systems.
A robust and reliable product, suitable for any professional application.
