Facing increasing pressure to produce more with less water, irrigation manufacturers must deliver precision, automation, and connectivity. To meet these challenges, IRRIFRANCE — a long-standing specialist in reels, pivots, and full-cover systems — partnered with ACTIA to modernize and digitalize its machines.
This collaboration, initiated over 15 years ago, began with integrating displays and onboard controllers and has since evolved into a comprehensive digital ecosystem including control software, connectivity, a mobile app, and a supervision platform.
"ACTIA knows our machines inside out. Their agility and expertise allow us to innovate efficiently and adapt to new market needs," says Noumane AÏDI, President of the IRRIFRANCE group.
ACTIA developed a full connected solution covering all stages of irrigation management — from onboard control to remote supervision — with components designed for agricultural conditions and suited to manufacturers, distributors, and farmers.
The custom-made IrrifranceMS platform provides tailored access for each stakeholder:
ACTIA and IRRIFRANCE’s mobile app extends the onboard display’s logic to smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
Farmers can:
Designed for demanding farm environments and rural networks, the app saves time, increases responsiveness, and optimizes water use.
"Farmers needed a simple, effective remote-control tool. The app mirrors the machine interface, making it immediately intuitive and highly valued," adds Noumane AÏDI.
Irrigation machines face rain, dust, mud, UV exposure, temperature variations, and vibrations. ACTIA’s hardened electronics combine computing power, display, and connectivity in compact, waterproof, shock-resistant systems, ensuring reliable operation and continuous sync with the mobile app.
By combining rugged onboard controllers, robust telematics, an intuitive app, and a multi-level platform, ACTIA provides IRRIFRANCE with a future-proof digital chain that enhances manufacturer value, improves distributor services, and simplifies farmers’ daily operations.
ACTIA and IRRIFRANCE are already preparing new features integrating weather and soil data to automatically adapt irrigation cycles.
"The future is climate-driven irrigation. With ACTIA, we are ready for this next step," says AÏDI.
