Smart Irrigation Management System Increases Productivity of Agricultural Products
“This system provides a management irrigation plan without the need to install any part inside the agricultural land. Monitoring of farm conditions is done by DSS, satellites, satellite data and artificial intelligence,” Mehdi Qeysari, a faculty member of Isfahan University of Technology and chairman of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“The system informs the farmer (in any part of Iran) whether his plant needs irrigation or not, and based on the type of system that exists, when, where and how much (i.e. after a few hours) irrigation should be carried out,” he added.
“This will increase production and productivity and reduce water consumption, and most importantly, it will be profitable to the farmer. This technology does not require infrastructure, the more the production increases, the more it brings 100% profit to the farmer,” Qeysari said.
In a relevant development in October, a knowledge-based company in Iran had also unveiled a smart irrigation and fertilization device that automatically meets the needs of 10 types of plants.
Ali Kamali and Masoumeh Razmavar, the founders of the knowledge-based company, have developed a smart device that automatically and exclusively gives water and fertilizer to each flower and plant and regulates the humidity of the environment.
This device, which has 10 outputs, can provide services to 10 different types of plants at the same time. Also, if you have several similar plants, you can connect them to one outlet.
“The system, which can be controlled and programmed via both the monitor and the web, is currently set manually, but plans are underway to develop a remote-controlled model,” Kamali told ANA.
“This device is ideal for environments where continuous monitoring of plants is difficult, like the villas, towers, hotels, schools and hospitals,” he added.
