Automation for Dairy Industry

Streamline Your Dairy Farm Irrigation to Save You Time and Money

At Padman Stops we love helping farmers to streamline their dairy farm irrigation by implementing smart automation. The quality of your pasture is imperative in keeping your cows happy, healthy and ensuring a consistent flow of milk.

A well designed and laid out irrigation system will optimise the balance between flow rate, soil infiltration rates, plant type and bay area – turning flood irrigation into a water efficient system equal to that of any other form of irrigation. Technology and sensors offer precise reporting and response that will assist you to maximise your crops at less cost.

Automation will also help you cut back on your labour costs, and increases staff productivity, often up to five times more than when utilising more manual systems. And a lack of signal or connectivity doesn’t need to be a barrier as not only do we utilise the Telstra network, but where that’s not available our radio based LoraWAN technology gateway devices will handle the job with ease.

With our new AutoWinch systems, there are two options available. The AutoWinch Pro has been designed to move twice a day as a completely portable automation unit providing all the flexibility your farm needs to thrive. 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 Stops app and are strong enough to operate all Padman Stops irrigation outlets. With our portable units you can get your farm automated more affordably than ever before.

Dairy farming tends to be one of the most unrelenting agricultural businesses to run. The team at Padman Stops are experts at helping you to utilise clever technology and products customised to your unique needs, to relieve the pressure and allow you to spend more time with those you love.

Less labour costs, happy cows and a demanding job all made much easier.
