Our farmers

The farm faces the high level of social responsibility that comes from sharing tap water for vegetable irrigation with surrounding communities and households. With WaterFox, we hope to optimize our irrigation processes while further improving our environmental impact.

"We grow about 350 hectares of vegetables with more than 20 crops and irrigate with a pipe irrigation system and sprinklers. [...] WaterFox helps us improve operations and save water in the future."

"As a large vegetable producer with many differenten crops, we have been relying on WaterFox since the beginning of 2020. Especially for the far-flung areas, WaterFox helps us to irrigate them as needed. As a customer, we have been convinced by the high level of willingness and the uncomplicated nature of the heliopas.ai GmbH employees. Problems and suggestions are solved quickly and without problems. We as a company are impressed by WaterFox and its potential and will continue to rely on the cooperation with WaterFox in the future."

"Some of our fields are very far apart. Therefore, it is difficult to always keep track of soil moisture or precipitation in such a large area, with such different regions. WaterFox allows us to get a quick assessment without having to go to each field every time."

Our partners

"In my irrigation trials in corn crops, the analyses of heliopas.ai clearly demonstrated the real differences in irrigation requirements for the various corn varieties. The results and the professional cooperation have convinced me, so that we are now entering the third season with heliopas.ai walk. [...] The condition monitoring alternatives available to us to date are expensive and measure only locally."

Research associate at the Augustenberg Agricultural Technology Center

"This can then also be done on a subplot-specific basis and, above all, without additional sensors in the field. That's exactly what's interesting for our customers, in addition to recording consumption quantities."

"WaterFox [...] seems suitable for better planning my field inspections in advance. Not only does it allow me to look at individual crops in a more focused way and better check the condition of the fields, but it also allows me to give clearer advice to farmers based on individual plots."
