Irrigreen——自动灌溉系统的领导者——宣布了1500万美元的种子资金。Ulu企业领导的一轮融资圣人希尔投资者,燃烧岛冒险,MFV伙伴,带风帽,回声河首都Tamiami,催化剂创新实验室,和企业也参与。房主在美国一直在努力维持他们的景观水成本上升。同时,许多家庭灌溉系统不精确,技术含量较低,而不是定制的院子里的细节,结果在自动喷水灭火系统,不经意间的水基础设施同时/不足或浇水过多大的草坪。加上与灌溉系统造成80亿加仑的水每天用于户外景观——超过洗澡和洗衣服的总和——传统的洒水装置离开家庭浪费每年成千上万加仑水费用飞涨。应对水浪费,Irrigreen武器消费者与一个革命性智能喷水灭火系统,采用喷墨印刷技术提供完美越少,节省水的灌溉绿化设备。Irrigreen,房主使用更少的水大约50%相比传统技术,可以每年节省约50%的户外水费。通过增强Irrigreen的网页设计工具,房主可以输入他们的地址,设计智能喷水灭火系统匹配他们的院子里的确切形状和轮廓,看看他们潜在的水储蓄在几秒钟内。,它还能模拟喷涂角度障碍,确保整个院子都是没有浪费。这个工具提供房主电力自动化和简化他们的灌溉设计不使用昂贵的专业软件或寻找和招聘设计师。 After homeowners map out its irrigation system, they can choose to purchase a system for self-installation or work with an install partner. And once installed, Irrigreen customers can benefit from key product features, including: 1.) Simple design with seamless installation – Irrigreen utilizes a patent-pending nozzle design that eliminates wasteful overlap. And each digital sprinkler head replaces 6-10 mechanical heads from traditional systems and is configured with the Irrigreen app to trace the contours of the landscaping accurately. Plus Irrigreen uses 80% less underground piping while eliminating the need for problematic valves and wiring, making it simple and easy for anyone to install. 2.) Adaptive climate software – Unlike traditional irrigation systems, Irrigreen matches each landscape’s specific precipitation needs (including water volume and when the water should be applied) based on live integrations with weather data that feed into software on each sprinkler head. However, unlike current smart controllers, the Irrigreen system uses its smart robotic head to print the exact amount of water, weather, and soil conditions called for. 3.) Digital experience for maximum convenience – Ranging from designing an irrigation layout to controlling water pressure and flow and monitoring and maintenance, Irrigreen is built on software that learns and adapts over time for enhanced performance. And homeowners can control their irrigation system from the comfort of their smartphone with Irrigreen’s app, making it easier than ever to water and maintain landscaping. With this funding, Irrigreen plans to further develop the company’s product and software. And Irrigreen serves homeowners nationally, including California, Texas, Florida, Colorado, and Utah. KEY QUOTES: “Designing irrigation systems has traditionally been expensive, manual and imprecise. Because of the flexibility and elegance of Irrigreen’s robotic heads, we democratized the process by enabling anyone to design an efficient irrigation system from the convenience of their computer while also instantly calculating how much water they’ll save annually.” — Shane Dyer, CEO of Irrigreen “We’ve seen smart products inside the home drive meaningful resource savings by engaging the consumer. Irrigreen can become that platform for outside the home. While landscapes consume a lot of water, they contribute to quality of life and even help keep our cities cool. Finding ways to keep our surroundings green while using less water is a massive opportunity.” — Kathy Chen, Partner at Ulu Ventures and Irrigreen board member
