Through sweat and toil, farmers work the soil, planting seeds and tirelessly bringing them to harvest to sustain life.

Facing the challenges of the elements, they have long borne the burden of working round the clock, climbing onto to quads as dusk falls to open and close bays, check outlets, monitor water levels and make sure pumps are humming. It’s a rhythm of work that costs sleep, time and peace of mind.

Farmers using WiSA systems often talk about the welcomed benefits enjoyed with better sleep. With automation taking care of opening and closing bays through the night, there’s no need to jump on the quad after dark. That means more rest, improved safety and fewer fatigue-related risks on the farm. It also means using less fuel, reducing water waste and saving valuable hours that can be spent running the business, or finally getting a break off farm.

At a time when skilled labour is hard to find, WiSA automation works like an extra set of hands to take care of essential but time-consuming tasks. It boosts productivity without adding to the wage bill and offers peace of mind that irrigation is running efficiently, even when the farmer can’t be there.

With three decades of trusted service and products installed across Australia, WiSA Farm Irrigation & Automation continues to lead the way in making irrigation simpler, safer and smarter.
