Smart irrigation and outdoor lighting manufacturer modernizing to IoT and cloud data platforms
Hunter Industries manufactures irrigation systems, outdoor lighting, and dispensing technology for residential and commercial markets. The tech stack reveals a dual-track operation: embedded systems (Bluetooth Low Energy, MQTT, AWS IoT Core) powering smart irrigation controllers, paired with enterprise infrastructure (Oracle Fusion, Salesforce, JD Edwards) supporting global manufacturing. Active hiring in engineering and a project roadmap focused on telemetry pipelines, scheduling engines, and enterprise data modernization suggests a shift from traditional hardware toward connected-device ecosystems and cloud-native data architecture.
