Challenge

Water scarcity is a major concern for agriculture, and traditional irrigation methods face key challenges:

• Technological Limitations – Many systems lack the ability to accurately monitor soil moisture and crop water needs.
• High Implementation Costs – Upfront investment in technology and infrastructure can be a barrier to adoption.
• Limited Financing – Smallholders often struggle to access funding for efficient irrigation systems.

Solution

A LoRaWAN®-enabled smart irrigation system that provides real-time soil moisture and environmental monitoring, allowing for automated, precise water delivery to crops. This reduces water waste, optimises irrigation, and improves overall crop yield.

Deployment

The system includes:

• UG67 Outdoor LoRaWAN® Gateway for seamless communication between sensors and control units.
• UC511 LoRaWAN® Solenoid Valve Controller to automate irrigation for crops like corn, potatoes, cauliflower, and celery.
  Data is transmitted to the cloud via MQTT over 4G, enabling farmers to monitor and control irrigation remotely.
