Agriculture & Farming

Just as in any industry, efficiency is vital to the success of a farming operation. Automation is an excellent tool for increasing operational efficiency. Pieper can create an automation solution for numerous farm applications. Systems we have created and installed to date include feed and water distribution systems for dairy cows, and anaerobic digester controls. These systems gave the farm managers precise control over mix, quantities, time, and provided tracking reports.

Clear Horizons is one of Pieper’s newest departments, specializing in anaerobic digesters. Anaerobic digesters are revolutionary systems that turn farm waste into farm profits. Manure and other secondary wastes are transformed into methane and dry solids. The methane is burned to produce electricity, while the solids can be sold as a 100% “green” component of fertilizer. This system provides farms with an outlet for excess liquid wastes, eliminating storage costs and preventing costly groundwater contamination. For more information on Clear Horizons, click here.
