Overview:
Agriculture is becoming increasingly complex due to climate variability, water scarcity, and labor shortages. Farmers need reliable tools to manage their operations with precision and minimal manual intervention. IOTnarad empowers agricultural automation by connecting sensors and actuators to give farmers full control over their environment and operations.
Problem Statement:
- Irrigation is manual and inconsistent, wasting water and affecting crops.
- Soil and climate conditions are not monitored continuously.
- Equipment such as pumps and sprayers operate without feedback loops.
- Labor-intensive management makes scaling operations difficult.
Challenges Created:
- Crop Damage: Due to over- or under-watering.
- Labor Costs: High dependency on human intervention.
- Wasted Resources: Inefficient water and energy usage.
- Limited Planning: No accurate data to forecast or plan cultivation cycles.
- Physical Strain: Farmers must be present to control systems.
Our Solution:
IOTnarad enables:
- Connectivity with soil moisture sensors, temperature and humidity monitors.
- Control over pumps, fans, heaters, and irrigation sprayers.
- Automation of irrigation schedules based on real-time data.
- Alerts and notifications for deviations in environmental conditions.
- Web/mobile dashboard for centralized control and insights.
Key Features:
- Plug-and-play sensor integration
- Environmental data analytics
- Smart irrigation and climate control
- Remote access and alerts
Impact:
- Optimized crop yield and water usage.
- Labor savings and easier farm scalability.
- Reduced input costs with better resource planning.
Improved sustainability through precision farming.
