Irrigation valves are usually underground, out of sight. When something goes wrong, the technician's hunt for the answer to "where is the valve?" is the part that eats up the most time. ESTRON removes that step: it knows where every valve is and takes you straight there.
One tap on the map
When a valve has a problem, the app shows you which valve it is and where it sits on the map. You tap "directions" and set off — no guesswork, no digging out an old site sketch. You are guided step by step to the right spot.
Finding it in the last few metres by signal
The map brings you close to the valve; for the last few metres underground, your phone talks to the valve over a short range. The closer you get, the stronger the signal; the farther away, the weaker. So you can pinpoint the exact spot — like a game of "hot and cold" — before you ever start digging.
On-the-spot diagnosis
When you reach the valve, you see its status on your phone: open or closed, whether its signal is coming through, how its battery is doing. Most of the time a small adjustment fixes the issue right there, so you avoid an unnecessary return trip.
Who gains what?
- The technician: being at the right spot in minutes instead of spending hours searching.
- The operation: less field labour, faster fault resolution, uninterrupted irrigation.
- The garden: healthy planting and no wasted water, thanks to quick fixes.
