Irrigated agriculture is a practice that uses equipment and techniques to partially or totally compensate for the lack of water for planted crops.
It is present in all regions of Brazil, mainly where there is water scarcity, as is the case in the semi-arid region, or where prolonged periods of drought occur, as in the central region.
There are some irrigation methods, such as manual irrigation, that have negative consequences:
- high labor costs
- irregular irrigation
- low work efficiency
Another option is the non-automated irrigation model, which has equipment but is still manually controlled, leading to wasted resources, inaccurate irrigation volume, and high labor costs.
The third model is automated irrigation, with complex equipment that is costly to maintain, in addition to the entire network of cables, which is difficult to install, necessary to make the operation possible.
Above Above-Net proposes a new model , a solution whose topology includes sensors spread throughout the planted crops transmitting in real time the conditions and parameters relevant to increasing harvest productivity.
The benefits of this solution are:
- Low energy consumption
- Extensive coverage
- Massive connection
- Low cost
- Easy deployment
- Real-time monitoring
- Precise irrigation
- Remote management
- Time and volume-based irrigation strategies
- Intuitive dashboard
- Customizable alarm conditions and triggers
The solution also offers a system that detects irregularities and triggers alarms via SMS or email to the maintenance team, thus reducing losses and consequently increasing productivity.
All this is achieved through intelligent irrigation management, easy implementation, and low operating costs.
