A Digi International Case Study
Valmont Industries, a global infrastructure and agricultural manufacturer, sought to make its irrigation systems and infrastructure assets smarter and more efficient to help customers conserve resources and reduce carbon footprints. The challenge involved enabling remote monitoring and control for vast farms and utility networks without relying on manual, emissions-heavy inspections. Valmont turned to Digi International, integrating Digi's robust cellular routers, RF modules like Digi XBee, and wireless design services into its solutions.
By embedding Digi's connectivity products, Valmont created smart irrigation systems and smart infrastructure like electricity pylons and urban poles. This allowed for remote data collection from sensors and cameras, enabling predictive maintenance and automated control. The Digi solution provided reliable, secure communication for these remote assets. The results included significant operational efficiencies, reduced fuel consumption and emissions from fewer truck rolls, optimized resource use like water and electricity, and an overall reduced carbon footprint for Valmont's customers.
