Cisgenics has introduced its latest innovation, CisgenX, at the 2024 Irrigation Show in Long Beach, California. This advanced system harnesses the power of the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and real-time data analytics to redefine water management. Aiming to dramatically reduce water and energy consumption, CisgenX offers a cutting-edge solution to the irrigation industry, a sector increasingly in need of modernization to meet global sustainability challenges.
Globally, nearly half of the water used in irrigation is wasted due to evaporation, runoff, and outdated practices, resulting in resource inefficiencies and increased costs. The urgency for innovation is particularly strong in the United States, where water shortages threaten nearly 40 states. Drought-stricken areas like Arizona and Nevada face severe water scarcity, impacting agriculture, residential landscapes, and large properties such as golf courses and sports fields. With its precise, data-driven water management capabilities, CisgenX provides a practical solution to this crisis, delivering water savings of 40% to 70% over traditional irrigation methods.
Data-Driven Water and Energy Efficiency CisgenX’s powerful combination of IoT sensors and machine learning algorithms enables real-time monitoring and predictive analytics, ensuring that the right amount of water is applied exactly when and where it is needed. This precision conserves water, reduces energy consumption, and promotes healthier plant growth, making it ideal for diverse applications, from agriculture and urban landscapes to expansive properties like sports fields.
According to Sam Rebera, Managing Director of Cisgenics, CisgenX aligns with businesses’ sustainability goals while also cutting operational costs. “Our platform is a game-changer for industries overdue for sustainable solutions. CisgenX not only meets the need for resource conservation but also supports broader environmental objectives,” he stated.
The CisgenX platform’s MK3 decoder technology, capable of supporting up to 500 sensor outputs and 125 inputs on a single interface, ensures comprehensive data collection across large-scale operations. Real-time alerts and an intuitive interface make CisgenX user-friendly and accessible, even for large properties requiring extensive data oversight.
A Legacy of Real-World Success With a history spanning over 45 years, Cisgenics, originally Christensen Irrigation, brings a wealth of expertise to the irrigation industry. The company has completed over 1,000 global projects, including notable sites like Adelaide Oval in Australia, Singapore’s Gardens By The Bay, and the Temasek Life Sciences Rice initiative. CisgenX builds on this legacy, providing unparalleled precision and sustainability in irrigation management.
The launch of CisgenX in the U.S. marks an important milestone for Cisgenics as the global smart irrigation market, valued at over $2.5 billion, continues to grow. With increasing environmental concerns and regulatory pressures, smart water-saving solutions are becoming critical, and CisgenX stands out by helping companies meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards.
“We are thrilled to introduce CisgenX to North America,” Rebera added. “As demand for sustainable water management rises, CisgenX is leading the charge with solutions that conserve water and deliver measurable energy savings. Our technology empowers businesses and communities to reach their sustainability goals.”
By leveraging IoT-driven insights and decades of irrigation expertise, CisgenX is setting a new standard in smart irrigation, helping industries worldwide save resources while promoting long-term sustainability.
