SIGFRUT®: agricultural geographic information system
GIS technology that turns your farm’s geospatial information into decisions: areas, plants, posts, wire and irrigation, calculated before you set foot in the field.
- Automatic area calculation
- Posts and metres of wire per plot
- Instant access to information
What SIGFRUT® is
A detailed map of your farm, ready for decision-making
SIGFRUT® is a geographic information system that enables advanced land management: it makes it easier to analyse, plan and optimise agricultural, livestock and industrial operations.
With SIGFRUT® we obtain a detailed map of the farm and turn geospatial information into key data for planning installations such as netting, fencing and crops in less time and at lower cost. To discover all its features, visit its official website.
What it does
Everything SIGFRUT® calculates for you
Instant, approximate data to plan the farm and budget with sound judgement.
Plot measurement
Measurement of plots and land to plan the installation of agricultural infrastructure.
Area calculation
Automatic area calculation to plan crops and trellising.
Number of plants
Estimate of the number of plants needed for new plantations.
Posts and wire
Calculation of the number of posts and the linear metres of wire for a trellising system.
Irrigation design
Measurements for irrigation systems that make it easier to design and distribute water.
Resource planning
Optimises land use and improves the farm’s profitability.
Applications
What SIGFRUT® is used for
- New plantationsArea, number of plants and planting layout before planting.
- TrellisingPosts and metres of wire needed for the trellis.
- Netting and fencingMeasurements to plan and quote protection installations.
- IrrigationData to design the network and the water distribution.
SIGFRUT® and land surveying
SIGFRUT® versus traditional land surveying
They do not compete: SIGFRUT® optimises planning and land surveying guarantees precision in execution.
| SIGFRUT® | Traditional land surveying | |
|---|---|---|
| Main use | Land planning and management | Precise execution |
| Type of data | Approximate data to optimise decisions | Exact measurements |
| Access to information | Instant | Requires fieldwork and processing |
| What it is for | Planning plantations, calculating materials and optimising irrigation | Exact setting-out and legal boundaries |
| Time and cost | Cuts time and cost in planning | Greater investment in each measurement |
How we work
From the plot study to the finished installation
A single point of contact throughout the project: we measure, design, supply and install.
Site visit and measurement
We study the plot, the crop and the risk. If needed, a topographic survey or measurement with SIGFRUT®.
Project and quote
We propose the system, the materials and the number of posts, cables and anchors. A detailed, no-obligation quote.
Supply and installation
We manufacture the NovaNet® netting and build the structure with our own team, or we supply the material if you install it yourself.
Follow-up
Advice on the use and maintenance of the installation to extend its service life season after season.
Frequently asked questions
What we are asked most
Does SIGFRUT® replace a land survey?
No. SIGFRUT® provides approximate data for planning and decision-making; when precision is needed in execution, setting-out or legal boundaries, traditional land surveying is required.
What can I calculate with SIGFRUT®?
Plot areas, number of plants for new plantations, number of posts and linear metres of wire for a trellis, and measurements for irrigation design.
What type of farms is it for?
For agricultural, livestock and industrial operations that want to plan the use of their land and facilities.
Where can I try SIGFRUT®?
On its official website, sigfrut.com. And if you would like us to apply it to your netting, fencing or trellising project, get in touch with us.
