Irrigation, as one of the necessary management projects in agricultural production, is a key aspect of agricultural production management. With the continuous development of technology, irrigation methods have also shifted from traditional methods such as flooding and furrow irrigation to water-saving irrigation modes such as drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and seepage irrigation. At the same time, irrigation control methods no longer require excessive manual intervention and can be performed through Android/iOS mobile devices.
An intelligent irrigation system is one of the application projects in the field of smart agriculture IoT. It involves IoT sensors, automatic control technology, computer technology, wireless communication networks, etc. Its functions include irrigation area information collection, irrigation strategy control, historical data management, and automatic alarm functions. It lays an important foundation for transforming agriculture from traditional labor-intensive to technology-intensive.
Agriculture Irrigation System Schematic
SolarIrrigations intelligent irrigation system is mainly targeted at agricultural fields, gardens, greenhouses, parks, and municipal scenarios. Through modern technology, it aims to reduce labor costs, improve automation production efficiency, and save water resources.
Application Scenarios
Main functions
1.Data collection:
Receive data from devices such as soil moisture sensors, pressure collectors, soil pH sensors, and soil conductivity sensors. The collected data mainly includes soil water content, acidity and alkalinity, etc. The collection frequency is adjustable and can be obtained continuously for 24 hours.
2.Intelligent control:
Supports three irrigation modes: timed irrigation, cyclic irrigation, and remote irrigation. Parameters such as irrigation volume, irrigation time, irrigation conditions, and irrigation valves can be set. Flexibility in selecting control methods based on irrigation areas and needs.
3.Automatic alarm:
Alarm for soil moisture, soil acidity and alkalinity, valve switches, etc., through sound and light alarms, cloud platform messages, SMS, email, and other forms of warning.Data management: The cloud platform automatically stores environmental monitoring data, irrigation operations, etc. Historical records for any time period can be queried, viewed in data table form, exported and downloaded as Excel files, and printed.
4.Expansion of functionality:
The hardware devices that make up the intelligent irrigation system, such as soil temperature and humidity sensors, intelligent valves, intelligent gateways, can be flexibly selected and matched in terms of type and quantity.
System features:
- Wireless communication:
Uses wireless networks such as LoRa, 4G, 5G as communication methods, with no specific requirements for network conditions in the application environment, making it easy to expand.
- Flexible hardware configuration:
Can upgrade or replace controlled hardware devices as needed, simply by connecting to the cloud platform.
- User-friendly interface: Can be downloaded and applied flexibly through Android/iOS mobile apps, computer webpages, computer software, etc.
- Strong anti-electromagnetic interference capability:
Can be applied in harsh outdoor environments with strong electromagnetic interference.
