The Idea
What it's about
rain2soil addresses one of the key challenges of modern agriculture: efficient irrigation amid increasing water scarcity, rising energy costs, and acute labor shortages. With rainbutler, an autonomously driving irrigation robot, we combine the flexibility of traditional hose-reel systems with the efficiency of center-pivot irrigation—enhanced by autonomous navigation and proprietary software. The system enables resource-efficient and reliable irrigation across any field geometry.

Success story
rain2soil has already successfully developed multiple technology demonstrators and tested them under real-world conditions. Our systems are operating on commercial farms, including in the Magdeburger Börde region. In addition, rain2soil has been awarded the special prize of the Agri Water Discovery, highlighting its innovative strength and contribution to resource-efficient irrigation.
Field trials show labor time savings of up to 80% compared to traditional impact sprinklers, a 25% reduction in water consumption, 40% energy savings, and yield increases of up to 10%.
