Blueberry and Aronia Smart Irrigation Systems
Our farm is an enterprise spread over a wide area with Blueberry and Aronia orchards, open to modern agricultural techniques. The farm owner wanted to make production more efficient by remotely controlling the management of the 6 valves and 1 pump station in the orchards. At this point, by stepping in, we offered a smart irrigation and automatic irrigation solution specific to the farm's needs with the esular system.
Our farm increased its efficiency by switching to the smart irrigation and automatic irrigation system with esular. You too can meet remote-controlled irrigation and fertilization solutions with esular.
Our Farmer's Problem
The main problems faced by the farm were as follows:
- Difficulty of Manual Control: Manual control of 6 valves and 1 pump located on a large land was time-consuming and required extra labor costs.
- Inefficient Fertilization and Irrigation: Irrigation and fertilization processes carried out with traditional methods prevented the effective use of resources, causing more water and fertilizer use.
- Labor Costs: Operations requiring constant human intervention caused high labor costs.
- Lack of Control and Monitoring: The inability to monitor systems from a central point led to late detection of potential problems.
These problems were reducing the operational efficiency of the farm and increasing costs. Our producer wanted to solve these problems by switching to smart irrigation and automatic irrigation systems.
How Did We Solve the Problem?
-
Remote Controlled Smart Valve Control: The existing 6 valves were integrated into esular‘s smart irrigation system, which can be remotely controlled and automatically managed. In this way, the opening and closing of the valves became manageable easily and automatically through the application.
-
Pump Station Integration: The pump station was reconfigured to work in harmony with the esular system. Thus, water pumps could be monitored and controlled remotely and managed automatically.
-
Soil Moisture Sensor: By installing soil moisture sensors, it was made possible to remotely check whether the plant needs water.
-
Pressure Sensor Monitoring: By installing a pressure sensor at the pump outlet, warning and early intervention opportunities were provided in case of any burst or leakage-loss situation.
-
Pool level monitoring: By installing a level sensor, instant pool level monitoring and pool filling tasks were activated. In this way, pool overflow and leakage-loss situations were minimized and eliminated with esular.
-
Central Management Software: A software infrastructure was established that allows all systems to be managed through a single application. Thanks to this software, our producer can plan irrigation and fertilization programs, monitor the status of valves in real-time, and set automatic irrigation programs.
-
Mobile Access Opportunity: With esular‘s mobile application, farm management became possible from anywhere and at any time via mobile phone or tablet. In this way, it became possible to access the smart irrigation system at any moment.
-
Automation and Timing: The system was programmed to perform irrigation and fertilization automatically according to the determined calendar and plant needs. While this minimized human error, automatic irrigation ensured optimum water use.
Gains After the Solution
esular system provided our farm with the following advantages:
- Increased Efficiency: Smart irrigation and automatic irrigation ensured that nutrients and water were given automatically according to the plant's needs. In this way, a visible increase in product yield was achieved.
- Cost Savings: Efficiency in labor and resource use reduced operating costs.
- Time Management: Remote control and automation significantly reduced the time spent on farm management.
- Night Irrigation: Thanks to the mobile application and esular, it became possible to irrigate without going to the field at night. Thanks to night irrigations, both evaporation losses were minimized and energy costs were reduced.
- Fully Automatic Irrigation: Within the hours set periodically daily, weekly 24/7, the system was made to start automatic irrigation, irrigate for the given time, and automatically turn the irrigation on and off.
- Real-Time Monitoring: With instant data tracking through our application, the opportunity for rapid intervention in potential problems arose.
- Sustainability: Effective use of resources created a more sustainable agricultural practice by reducing environmental impacts.
