Irrigated agriculture is a practice that uses equipment and techniques to make up for partial or total water shortages for planted crops.
It is present in all regions of Brazil, especially where there is a scarcity of water, as is the case in the semi-arid region, or where there are prolonged periods of drought, as in the central region.
There are some irrigation models, such as manual irrigation, which have the following negative consequences:
- high labor cost
- irregular irrigation
- low work efficiency
Another option is the non-automated irrigation model, which has equipment but is still controlled manually, which generates waste of resources, inaccurate irrigation volume and high labor costs.
The third model is automated irrigation, with complex equipment that is expensive to maintain, in addition to the entire cable network, 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 across the planted crops, transmitting in real time the relevant conditions and quantities to increase harvest productivity.
The benefits of this solution are:
- Low energy consumption
- Wide coverage
- Massive connection
- Low cost
- Easy deployment
- Real-time monitoring
- Precise irrigation
- Remote management
- Time and volume-based irrigation strategies
- Intuitive dashboard
- Custom alarm conditions and triggers
The solution also offers a system that detects irregularities and triggers alarms via SMS or email to the team responsible for maintenance. Thus reducing losses and consequently increasing productivity.
All this through intelligent irrigation management, easy implementation and low operating costs.
