Aglantis: Scalable irrigation automation system – seeking integration partners, trials, and investment
Opportunity for
- Integration partners with ag insights or scheduling platforms
- Industry and R&D groups in cotton, horticulture, and viticulture for trial collaboration
- Commercial trial site partners across regional Australia
- Investors seeking scalable AgTech opportunities in irrigation, drought resilience, and precision agriculture
Opportunity description
Industry challenge
Across irrigated agriculture, system failures and energy inefficiencies remain a major cost and risk to growers. Traditional manual irrigation management can lead to water waste, crop loss, and energy overuse — as well as labour inefficiencies and missed opportunities for growers. Meanwhile, the transition to automated irrigation is slowed by fragmented infrastructure and variable farmer confidence in digital systems. As demand grows for smarter, integrated irrigation solutions that improve reliability, resilience, and sustainability, particularly in climate-affected and water-regulated regions, scalable tools that simplify adoption and enhance trust are urgently needed.
Current opportunity
Aglantis is seeking partners to support its expansion into new industries and regions across Australia. The company has developed a modular irrigation automation solution that enables remote pump control, performance monitoring, and dynamic fail-safes (including over/under pressure sensors). With strong traction in sugarcane and a growing footprint, Aglantis is looking to:
- Trial and validate its technology in cotton, horticulture, and viticulture settings
- Explore integration with existing irrigation scheduling or insights platforms
- Engage with strategic investors and commercial partners
- Identify regional smart farm sites or demo farms for deployment Partners will benefit from a flexible, retrofit-ready system with proven energy savings (including tariff optimisation), enhanced grower confidence, and the ability to integrate into existing infrastructure without costly replacements.
Opportunity background
Founded in North Queensland, Aglantis has achieved early adoption among progressive growers across the sugar industry. The company is undergoing a market segmentation analysis to determine its next growth regions. Its dynamic automation platform has delivered measurable labour, energy, and water savings and is being used in commercial operations today.
Aglantis recently participated in the Beanstalk AgTech Accelerator, where it was recognised with the Best Industry Presentation award at the Investor Showcase in Sydney (Future Drought Fund backed). This provides further validation of the system’s relevance to national drought resilience priorities. Commercial trial sites are being scoped for late 2025 and 2026 — now is the time to collaborate on early deployments and help shape the technology for your industry.
