An agricultural company with more than 10 linear irrigation systems wanted to improve water use efficiency and increase crop yields.
Accurate monitoring of irrigation
The goal of implementing the WaterScope IoT system was to enable real-time monitoring of water consumption so that company managers could make informed irrigation decisions.
The existing irrigation machines did not have any measurement devices.
There was no way to accurately account for and monitor water usage.
No adequate documentation was available for contracted irrigation services.
Troubleshooting (e.g., machine breakdowns or jams) was delayed due to a lack of information.
Water consumption measurement: monitoring water volume with litre accuracy.
Pressure measurement: to check the operation and efficiency of the system.
Fuel level measurement: for diesel-powered irrigation machines to prevent breakdowns.
GPS positioning: for automatic identification of irrigated areas.
Data transfer: NB-IoT communication: stable, energy-efficient, hourly data transmission to the cloud.
Data display on a web interface and mobile app, on a graphical map.
Real-time measurement and monitoring of water, pressure and fuel data
Automatic GPS-based area identification
Alarms in case of low levels, errors or downtime
NB-IoT or LoRa WAN communication
Web and mobile app – transparent, user-friendly interface
Easy integration and retrofitting
Detailed, exportable data in XLSX and CSV format
