Smart irrigation leader approaches us for an application revamp
The client is an Israel-based leader in smart monitoring and irrigation control solutions for homeowners and agriculture giants alike. A global market player with 40 years of experience, the company has become a true trend setter in the smart irrigation industry. Our client is an established manufacturer of a wide range of top-quality irrigation products: from standalone battery-operated controllers to multi stations, to wireless irrigation and fertigation systems and more.
The client approached us to start the total revamp of their legacy Internet-based desktop system for public landscaping and irrigation. The application did not allow adding new features and was hardly maintainable. Thus, because of our proven success record in mobile development and legacy app maintenance and modernization, the client entrusted us with the big application revamp project, followed by three more projects to support other products of the client.
Transforming legacy desktop application into a cloud-based web application
The client shifted to us web, mobile, global backend, DB and part of the VCT development (connects applications and DB to the controllers for real-time data exchange). The Symfa team also helps the client with the drivers for the irrigation controllers. Two major challenges on the project include:
A brief overview of the application functionality
Together with the client’s team, we developed the superfunctional application that enables easy remote control of the medium to gigantic systems alike with dozens of useful features available to the users (watering / fertilizing / irrigation control, live monitoring, standard and advanced settings, etc.).
Mobile application for municipal watering systems
The mobile application for the third project with this client was unstable, hard to maintain and required lots of new functionality. The project implied a comprehensive upgrade of the mobile application to operate complex irrigation systems remotely (municipal watering systems). The client opted for React Native development for a faster market entry.
After the upgrade and technical debt reduction, the mobile application enables:
Control
Easy and intuitive control over the irrigation controllers
Setup
Manual setup of stations, programs, and system testing. Advanced settings.
Programs
Programs for irrigation, separate items or groups of pipes, water junctions, auxiliary outputs.
Management
Monitoring and alert system. History and Logs.
Technologies
Easy and intuitive livestock farms management
The most recent project with the client – web, mobile applications and the database – is built around the livestock farms. Data sensors provide data on the living conditions in the livestock houses, while controllers allow remotely managing temperature, air conditioning, lightning and more.
Livestock applications functionality includes:
Strong partnership over the years bears fruit
The endeavor which started with a demo now includes four full-stack projects and has a comprehensive DevOps support for them.
