Iran-Made System Helps Smart Agricultural Management
“This system has two independent parts, each of which plays a unique role in optimizing agricultural processes; the first part is a software solution that includes mobile and web applications. This part uses meteorological data and artificial intelligence to provide farmers with optimal irrigation suggestions; without the need for any hardware or environmental sensors, only through accurate calculations of the amount and period of irrigation,” said Soheil Taqavi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
He also pointed to the second part which includes the hardware solution, and explained, “This part uses the Industrial Internet of Things and provides farmers with the possibility of complete automation of irrigation and water supply processes with one click. This system can be easily installed on all types of irrigation equipment in farms, gardens, greenhouses, and green spaces, making the irrigation process more efficient and simpler.”
Taqavi underlined that increasing efficiency and saving water consumption, preventing water shortage stresses, optimizing water consumption, avoiding over-irrigation and fertilizer leaching, and integrated management of scattered fields are among the fundamental values that this system brings to farmers.
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.
