Smart Irrigation Automation Systems for Industrial Agriculture and Greenhouses

In modern agriculture and greenhouse cultivation, switching to smart irrigation automation systems has now become a necessity to increase your competitiveness, reduce costs, and achieve sustainable production. With Esular wireless smart irrigation technologies, you can achieve up to 50 percent water savings, a 30 percent increase in yield, and fully automatic irrigation control in industrial-scale agricultural lands and greenhouses.

In this article, we will discuss in detail the advantages of smart irrigation automation in industrial agriculture and greenhouses, the system components, and Esular solutions.

What is Smart Irrigation Automation?

Smart irrigation automation is a modern agricultural technology where irrigation processes are managed automatically through sensors and control units without human intervention. The system optimizes irrigation by analyzing parameters such as soil moisture, weather conditions, plant type, and growth stage.

In traditional irrigation methods, water is provided based on time. For example, irrigation is performed for 2 hours every day at 06:00. However, this approach creates great waste because it continues to irrigate even in rainy weather.

In smart irrigation systems, however, the actual moisture level in the soil is measured. If the soil is moist, irrigation is not performed; if it is dry, irrigation starts automatically. This approach both saves water and prevents over-irrigation of plants.

Advantages of Smart Irrigation Automation in Industrial Agriculture

The advantages provided by smart irrigation automation for industrial agricultural enterprises and large greenhouse facilities are as follows:

High Rate of Water Savings: Esular systems provide an average of 30-50 percent water savings. In large-scale enterprises, this means tens of thousands of tons of water and significant cost savings annually.

Yield Increase: Plants do not experience stress and grow more productively because they are always irrigated at the optimal moisture level. Research shows a 20-30 percent yield increase in areas where smart irrigation is used.

Decrease in Labor Costs: Instead of manually controlling hundreds of decares of land, you can manage the entire system remotely via a mobile application. This provides a great advantage, especially in regions where labor costs are high.

Energy Savings: Since pumps only operate when necessary, electricity consumption is significantly reduced. Especially with the use of night tariffs, energy costs are optimized.

Plant Health and Quality: Over-irrigation leads to fungal diseases. With correct irrigation, plant health is protected and product quality increases.

Environmental Sustainability: Protecting and efficiently using water resources is important for future generations. Smart irrigation is the foundation of sustainable agricultural practices.

Smart Irrigation Systems in Greenhouse Automation

Greenhouses, as controlled growing environments, are the areas that benefit the most from smart irrigation systems. Esular greenhouse automation solutions include:

Soilless Agriculture and Hydroponic Systems: Nutrient solution concentration is continuously monitored with EC (electrical conductivity) and pH sensors. Our system automatically adjusts the fertilizer dosage and ensures the ideal nutrient balance.

Pot and Substrate Cultivation: Moisture control is very critical in soilless media such as cocopeat and perlite. Our wireless moisture sensors track the moisture status of each pot group or substrate zone individually.

Climate Integration: Parameters such as indoor greenhouse temperature, humidity, and CO2 level are also integrated into the system to optimize irrigation timing. Irrigation frequency is automatically increased in hot and dry weather.

Fertigation (Fertilization + Irrigation): With Esular's automatic fertilizer dosing systems, fertilizer is mixed into the irrigation water in precise ratios. Different fertilizer formulas can be applied at each plant growth stage.

Esular Wireless Smart Irrigation System Components

The Esular ecosystem consists of integrated components that operate completely wirelessly and provide easy installation:

1. Wireless Soil Moisture Sensors

How Does the Esular Smart Irrigation System Work?

The Esular ecosystem operates with the "Monitor - Learn - Manage" cycle:

1. Monitoring Phase: Wireless sensors placed in the field or greenhouse measure parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, and EC at regular intervals and transmit them wirelessly to the central gateway unit. The gateway sends the data to the cloud server.

2. Learning Phase: Artificial intelligence-supported software analyzes the collected data. By combining it with meteorological forecasts, it predicts future water needs. Parameters such as plant type, growth stage, and soil structure are also included in the calculations.

3. Management Phase: After the system determines the irrigation need, it sends a command to the wireless valve control units. Valves open automatically and irrigation is performed for the programmed duration. When the process is complete, the valves close.

Throughout this entire process, the user can monitor the system via a mobile application or web interface, intervene manually when necessary, and examine reports.

Advantages of Wireless Technology

The biggest advantage of Esular systems is that they are completely wireless. In traditional systems, hundreds of meters of cables must be pulled and power lines must be established. This is both costly and prone to failure.

Advantages of Esular Wireless Systems:

Easy and Fast Installation: Sensors are placed in the soil, valve control units are connected to the solenoid valve, and the central gateway is installed in an area with a solar panel. The entire system is commissioned within 1-2 days.

Low Installation Cost: Cable pulling and electrical infrastructure costs are eliminated. Especially in large lands, this cost saving is very important.

Flexibility: The locations of sensor and valve units can be easily changed. New areas can be added to the system.

Durability: There is no risk of cable failure. Problems such as rodents gnawing cables or cables being cut with a shovel do not occur.

Long Range: Thanks to LoRa technology, communication is possible at a distance of 5-10 km in open areas. Even in very large lands, a single gateway is sufficient.

Long Battery Life: Sensors work for 3-5 years, and valve control units work indefinitely in solar-powered models. Battery replacement is very rare.
