Wireless Meter Reading and Agricultural Irrigation Automation: Digital Transformation in Modern Agriculture
Water management in agricultural production is one of the most critical factors directly affecting efficiency. Traditional irrigation methods and manual meter reading systems cause both loss of time and the risk of incorrect data collection. As esular, the wireless meter reading and smart irrigation automation systems we have developed offer modern solutions to these problems faced by farmers.
What are Wireless Meter Reading Systems?
Wireless meter reading systems are technologies that automatically collect data from water meters used in agricultural areas and transmit it to a central system. Thanks to these systems:
- Water consumption can be monitored without going to the field
- Instant water flow and pressure values can be monitored
- Abnormal consumption can be detected immediately
- Irrigation costs can be calculated precisely
- Billing processes are automated
esular Ultrasonic Water Meters
esular ultrasonic water meters offer much more precise results compared to traditional mechanical meters with modern measurement technology. These MID certified devices are also suitable for commercial use.
Technical Specifications:
- Precise and reliable measurement with ultrasonic measurement principle
- Only water consumption is calculated thanks to the feature of not measuring air
- Remote reading support with LoRa RF
- Central reading system via GSM-GPRS
- Modbus and Modbus RTU protocol support
- Different diameter options from 1 inch to 5 inches
- Pulse output and 4-20 mA output options
Efficiency with Agricultural Irrigation Automation
Agricultural irrigation automation refers to smart systems that provide the water needed by plants at the right time, in the right amount, and with the right method. esular wireless irrigation control systems provide farmers with full control and flexibility.
Why Wireless Irrigation Automation?
One of the biggest problems in agricultural lands is the cost and feasibility of electricity and cabling infrastructure. Especially in large fields, pulling hundreds of meters of cable is both expensive and time-consuming. esular wireless solutions eliminate this problem:
- Requires no infrastructure, fast installation
- Savings on cabling costs
- Easy access to every point
- System can be easily expanded
- Use in areas without electricity infrastructure with solar power supply

Real Usage Experiences
Example Application 1: Citrus Orchard Irrigation Automation
The experience of one of our farmers using the esular wireless irrigation system in a 50-decare citrus orchard in Antalya:
“Previously, I had to go to the field with a tractor to control 6 different valves and turn them on and off manually. I was spending 2-3 hours a day just on valve control. After installing the esular system, I now control all valves from my phone. Irrigation programs run automatically, and I can see my water consumption instantly. In the first year, there was a 30% reduction in my water consumption and I achieved great savings in my labor.”
– Mr. Mehmet, Citrus Producer
Example Application 2: Central Control in a Large Agricultural Enterprise
Use of the GSM F Series central station in a 200-decare vineyard:
- Independent irrigation control in 15 different plots
- Management of 3 different well and pump systems from a single center
- Automatic data collection from water meters
- Pump protection with pressure sensors
- 40% annual labor cost savings
System Installation and Integration
Easy Installation Process
The installation of esular wireless systems is quite simple:
- Central Station Installation: The central unit is mounted at a suitable point with GSM reception
- Placement of Valve Control Units: Wireless valve control units are installed on each irrigation line
- Sensor Integration: Water meters, pressure sensors, and soil moisture sensors are included in the system
- Software Configuration: System settings are made from the mobile application or web interface
- Testing and Commissioning: The system is tested and made ready for use
Installation time varies between 1-3 days depending on the size of the land.
Integration with Other Systems
esular systems can easily integrate with your existing agricultural automation solutions:
- Greenhouse climate control systems
- Fertilizer dosing units
- Soil analysis systems
- Agricultural SCADA software
- Meteorology stations
Full compatibility with industrial automation systems is ensured thanks to Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols.
Water Savings and Cost Analysis
Real Savings in Water Consumption
Savings rates achieved with smart irrigation automation:
- Manual Irrigation: Average 20-30% excess water use
- Timer-Based Irrigation: 10-15% excess use
- Soil Moisture Sensor Irrigation: 5-10% excess use
- esular Smart Irrigation: Optimum water use + instant monitoring
In an average 100-decare land, annual water cost savings of 15,000-20,000 TL can be achieved.
