Irrigation Automation is being deployed widely for providing the right quantity of water to the crops thus improvising the yield, Irrigating the crops as required despite of manpower shortage, high labour costs, irregular power supplies and poor quality power supply as well as for conservation of water.
Time Based Irrigation
Time based irrigation provides the convenience of timely on/off of the pump(s) and respective vales automatically without any manual intervention.
BENEFITS
- This Helps in saving time, travel and labour invested for irrigation purpose.
- Even if the electricity is not available at the set time, the program ensures that the irrigation happens when power resumes.
- Also, if power cut happens during the irrigation process, the program ensures that the balance irrigation for the balance set time happens when power resumes.
Volume Based Irrigation
Volume based irrigation provides the convenience for framers by irrigating desired volume of water automatically without any manual intervention.
BENEFITS
- This Helps in not only to save time, travel and labor invested for irrigation purpose but also achieve the desired quantity of irrigation more precisely.
- Even if the electricity is not available at the set time, the program ensures that the irrigation happens when power resumes
- Also if power cut happens during the irrigation process, the program ensures that the balance irrigation for the balance set volume happens when power resumes.
Soil Moisture Based Irrigation
For Soil Moisture based irrigation soil moisture sensors at two different depths at each location and various locations depending on the farm requirement. Based on the soil dryness / moisture condition the respective zone will be irrigated appropriately In this method AI based technology is also included to predict rainfall and humidity and the system decides on the irrigation automatically.
BENEFITS
- Optimal irrigation based on soil moisture conditions is achieved precisely.
- Since AI based weather monitoring is also integrated in this Product, the farm will receive more accurate irrigation based on the geographical zone humidity and rainfall prediction for next 7 days, thus achieving more accurate irrigation.
Add on Solutions for Irrigation
Below are the solutions that are offered to make your farm irrigation Automated in a wholistic manner.
Automation for Farm without Electricity Supply from Grid
GroTron® Series IV, is an exclusive offering to suit farms without any EB power. It’s a complete DC powered Automation system which can be integrated with your solar pumps as well as the farm can be completely Automated. This comes as a more suitable solution for farms where there is no or acute shortage of EB supply as well as farms where the Voltage is very low.
Auto Back Wash for Sand and Gravel filters
Cleaning of the Sand and Gravel filters periodically and manually is highly laborious job. Our Auto Back Wash Solution comes as a handy solution for resolving this concern. This solution comes with two options to automatically back was you filters and keep them clean without any manual intervention.
Time based Auto Back Wash
The pre-set program that will be provided in GroTron® (if this solution is required), will automatically do the back wash operation in specific timer intervals.
Sensor based Auto Back Wash
A set of pressure sensors will be included before and after the filter. GroTron® (customised with this solution), keeps monitoring the differential pressure across the filter. When the differential pressure increases to the level which indicates that there’s clogging of filter, GroTron® initiates the Auto back wash function.
Wired Valve Automation
GroTron® Wired valve automation is offered as a preferred solution for farms with centralised valves.
Wireless Valve Automation
GroTron® Wireless valve automation naturally comes as a preferred solution for large farms and farms with de-centralised valves. Connecting wirelessly from Farm Marshal® to Crop Marshall® through LoraWAN® network is the most advanced solution available when compared with any competition.
We specifically use LoraWAN® network which is a secure exclusive network module and has multiple advantages when compared to standard Lora® network. Especially LoraWAN® network is more suitable to connect long range.
As and economical option we also offer limited product offering with Lora® network to suite short range economical solutions.
Auto Water Level Management
For farms with pond / large water storage tank GroTron® offers Auto water level management to maintain water level. This will help storage of water in the pond / water storage tank, depending on your irrigation requirements automatically. Our ultrasonic level sensor constantly monitors the water storage levels and turn on this water source pump automatically, once the desired level of water is filled the pump(s) at the source will be turned off automatically.
Multi Motor Operation
For farms with multiple borewells we have GroTron® that can operate multiple borewell motors through LoraWAN® network, this gives you convenience of operating multiple motors at different locations in the farm automatically (when combined with Auto Water level management) or at the tip of your fingers if you wish to do it manually.
