A.I. and Irrigation…a Good Match

Artificial Intelligence is a hot topic lately, with people worried that it’s taking over our lives. Just imagine, it has only been a few decades since an IBM computer the size of a small house was technology’s crowning achievement. Today, that cell phone you’re glued to has 10 times the power and infinitely more capabilities than that old IBM dinosaur.

I’m not worried about A.I. In fact, I think it is a good thing, especially for our landscape industry. Take the field of irrigation, for example, which is experiencing massive technological growth. Mechanical timers that were about as capable and complex as an old rotary telephone, have given way to today’s space age multi-phase weather-based irrigation systems that can be run from your laptop or cell phone. Today’s generation of landscapers has access to wonders of irrigation technology, considered impossible a few years ago. And these advances keep on coming.

But there is one thing these A.I. irrigation marvels cannot do… THEY CAN’T INSTALL THEMSELVES! That’s where we come in. Landscape Warehouse professionals and consultants will train you to take advantage of these technologies in our “Principals of Irrigation & Hydraulics” class. Once you learn the proper way to install and operate the latest irrigation systems, you will be light years ahead of the competition and able to charge more for your work. And fees paid by your clients for your next-level professional services will be offset by their lower water bills. This class will also help you avoid fines for watering sidewalks and streets caused by improper irrigation installation.

Our Irrigation class is part of a series of classes we will be featuring throughout the year. Here are just a few of them.

PRINCIPLES OF IRRIGATION & HYDRAULICS – How to install sprinklers, rotors, and drip irrigation. Wed., May 31, 6 p.m. Presented by Rivulis.

BATTERY-OPERATED / ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT – How to use it, and how to get the CORE Program (The Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project) and other programs to pay for it. DEMO DAYS to be announced.

CERTIFICATION – Get certified in various aspects of the landscape industry. Coming soon.
