Berry farm Otbrani extends their ONDO automation to another 20 ha of berry fields

We are glad to see the list of ONDO clients growing! But we are even happier when our existing customers are reaching out to extend their ONDO automations! Because a repeat customer is a happy customer!

This time it is one of our first and biggest customers – the berry farm Otbrani – undertaking an extension of their ONDO automation. Otbrani are well known in Bulgaria as one of the key berry farms in the country, selling their quality strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc in some of the biggest supermarket chains.

For more than a year Otbrani have been using automated precision irrigation and fertigation with ONDO, for part of their berry fields. The management of the farm is to a large extent done remotely now, from the team mobile devices, with way less on-site presence needed. The technical team is reacting to any equipment failures in a pretty fast manner, thanks to the automated ONDO alarms. As a result, throughout the very first months of using ONDO precision farming and farm automation solutions, Otbrani reported significant savings in water and fertilizer consumed, along with an increase in their crop yield. Read more about Otbrani and the first results they reported thanks to ONDO precision farming automation – in their client case study.

In this second phase of our collaboration with Otbrani, the farm decided to extend their initial ONDO precision farming automation. To the existing installation they will be adding a new 2-channel FertiON fertigation system, as well as the new ONDO wireless AIR Points. The ONDO AIR Points are an innovation for which we recently completed the on-field testing and now successfully integrate in client open field farms. Thus, the existing installation will be both cable- and wireless-based.
