Automation for the Rice Industry

The Efficient Fully Automated Rice Irrigation System for Australia

Growing rice can be a bit of a challenge in Australia, but our rice farms are certainly among the most efficient in the world. Efficiency really is key to maximising your yields and profits, while ensuring your own work-life balance remains a priority.

A Padman Water Solutions fully customised rice automation system can streamline your irrigation and enhance your water efficiency to a very precise level. Our superior technology will give you instant and up to date readings of your moisture and water levels, and can ensure consistency across all zones, regardless of soil type or terrain variability.

Our sensor-based scheduling and water detection, combined with water supply automation will ensure you always get the perfect amount of water on and off again, at the perfect time. And it can all be managed from the comfort of your tractor or office, from your mobile phone, tablet or computer.

With our new AutoWinch systems, you have two options. Our AutoWinch Pro has been designed to move twice a day, as a completely portable automation unit, giving you all the flexibility, your farm needs to thrive. Or, for a more affordable option, our AutoWinch Seasonal unit has been designed to stay with the crop for an entire season, moving only twice per year. Both are operated by our super simple Padman apps and are strong enough to operate all Padman Water Solutions  irrigation outlets. But with our portable units you can get your farm automated, more affordably, than ever before.

Our rice irrigation automation systems are solar powered preventing the need to be constantly checking and changing batteries and are well proven to be extremely reliable. Connectivity or signal strength also isn’t a problem, as our systems use Telstra, or our radio based LoraWAN technology gateway devices.

With our help, you’ll enjoy reduced pumping and labour costs and better water efficiency, which ultimately maximises your profits. All, while gaining that all important work-life-balance, with much of the hard work managed by technology, for you.
