Smart irrigation system for CAPE 10, Vienna

The urban landscape of cities is becoming ever greener and more sustainable – thanks to innovative projects such as the CAPE 10 irrigation system, which was implemented by Raintime on behalf of “Wiener Netze”. With a forward-looking control technology that communicates via LoRaWAN® (Long Range Wide Area Network), this project sets new standards in terms of building greening and water efficiency.

Raintime presents smart irrigation system for CAPE 10

At Raintime, we are extremely pleased that the groundbreaking Spring 2023 project commissioned by the prestigious “Wiener Netze” allowed us to demonstrate our expertise in smart irrigation technology. It was an exciting challenge to implement the irrigation system for the impressive CAPE 10 building (https://cape10.at/) and advance our mission to promote a sustainable and green environment.

Raintime: Experts for intelligent irrigation technology

Our ambition is to use innovative technologies to create green solutions that harmonize both nature and the urban landscape. CAPE 10’s building greening embodied this very vision, and we were determined to develop an intelligent irrigation system that would not only provide optimal care for the plants, but also ensure the responsible use of limited resources.

Control technology via LoRaWAN®

In this project, we implemented a pioneering control technology that uses LoRaWAN® (Long Range Wide Area Network) communication. LoRaWAN® offers impressive range and energy efficiency, making it an ideal choice for networking irrigation components.

Cloud-based control – convenient & efficient

The control of our irrigation system is based on cloud technology, developed by our long-standing partner and specialist in LoRaWAN®, KAISER.WORKS GMBH. This offers the advantage that programming and monitoring of irrigation times and amounts can be done comfortably from the office. By using real-time data and intelligent sensors, we can adjust irrigation precisely to the actual needs of the plants. Water meters, temperature and soil moisture sensors play a crucial role here and enable precise recording of environmental conditions.

Water efficiency in focus

A combination of water meters, temperature and soil moisture sensors allows us to automatically adjust watering times to the actual needs of the plants. This smart technology minimizes water consumption and prevents overwatering of the plants. This is not only to their advantage, but also to save valuable water resources.

A greener future for Vienna

Our irrigation system for CAPE 10 is a shining example of how innovative technologies and sustainability can go hand in hand in urban spaces. We are proud not only to have developed an efficient solution, but also to have made a valuable contribution to environmental protection. Our green irrigation system will enrich the cityscape of Vienna and bring the city one step closer to an environmentally conscious and livable future.

Impulse for other cities and companies

As Raintime, we are proud to be building momentum for a greener future and inspiring other companies and cities to drive similar sustainable projects. Our combination of LoRaWAN® technology, cloud-based control and smart sensors shows that smart technologies can play a significant role in making our cities more livable and environmentally friendly. With the CAPE 10 irrigation system, we have taken a pioneering step towards a modern, environmentally conscious city of tomorrow.
