SMALL AND COMPACT

GEFA employees work daily with partners, customers, specialists from industry and science, as well as international manufacturers to offer optimal solutions for a green future. In the future, the company will also present solutions that are successfully used and recommended but are not part of its portfolio. GEFA consultant Rafal Cegielski is pleased that he and his colleagues discovered Moasure®. With Moasure® One and the app, the company offers a measuring tool that makes the work of GEFA experts easier and faster.

The company, founded eight years ago in Warwick, United Kingdom, offers a motion-based measuring tool with Moasure One and the smartphone app that simplifies and speeds up the work of GEFA experts. The device is small and compact and fits in the palm of a hand. GEFA employees use the accompanying stick, which makes measuring even easier and more ergonomic.

FOR SLOPES AND LAWNS

Measuring complex shapes usually involves a high risk of errors. Moasure® enables landscape professionals to measure in a new way by moving from point to point while viewing data in real time on a smartphone or tablet. You can draw during measurement, capture in 3D, account for slopes and elevations, and calculate complex areas—even around obstacles. When planning irrigation systems, it is essential to capture surfaces accurately and equip them with the right technology. Areas, shapes, and spaces for gardens, lawns, driveways, beds, walkways, pool decks, and more can be created in layers,” says Cegielski. The plan can be exported as a .dxf file via email and further processed in CAD software.

FAQ

We are happy to answer all your questions.

  • In Germany, average annual rainfall exceeds 800 mm. Is automatic irrigation really recommended?

    Natural rainfall is not consistent enough for healthy plant growth. Hot summers and periods without rain can harm plants. Collecting rainwater and distributing it as needed via an irrigation system optimizes water and labor efficiency.

  • Can you save time and money with automatic irrigation?

    A clear yes. Once installed, the system operates automatically without further manual effort. Vegetation is optimally irrigated according to soil conditions and location, resulting in healthy growth even with reduced fertiliser use. Overwatering is avoided, as a rain sensor shuts off the system when sufficient rainfall occurs. Modern WiFi-based controllers also use weather data to further optimise water use.

  • How do I know which system is the right one for my customer?

    Use our GEFA GREENDROP® planning service. We work with you to design the best possible solution for your customers.
