AgriTec

NW TECS provides smart precision agriculture solutions. These solutions leverage IoT and LoRaWAN technology to help farmers optimize operations, reduce waste, and increase yields.

Key Solutions Offered:

Asset Location and Activity Tracking Farmers can track the location and activity of their assets, including vehicles and equipment.

Remote Equipment Monitoring The solutions enable remote monitoring of agricultural equipment.

Soil and Plant Condition Monitoring This includes monitoring soil temperature, moisture, and NPK levels, as well as crop growth. This real-time data helps farmers to optimize planting and fertilization, reduce water usage, and minimize plant stress.

Livestock Health and Location Tracking Farmers can track the position, condition, and feed levels of their livestock.

Smart Irrigation IoT solutions allow for optimized irrigation control based on multiple inputs such as soil moisture, water flow, energy usage, and environmental factors. This can lead to significant reductions in water consumption (up to 50% savings) and improved crop yields. LoRaWAN sensors provide accurate readings of soil water tension, indicating water availability to plants. Irrigation pumps can be activated and turned off remotely.

Full-Scale Smart Greenhouse Solutions NW TECS offers solutions for full-scale smart greenhouses solutions.

Inventory Tracking and Analytics The platform provides inventory tracking and analytics capabilities.

Smart Farming Data Analytics and Alerts Farmers receive data analytics and alerts to help them make informed decisions.

Environment Monitoring This includes monitoring weather conditions, rainfall, water levels in rivers and canals, temperature changes, wind conditions, air pressure, and humidity. The system can provide early warnings for flooding risks and detect changes in water quality.

Water Quality Monitoring Real-time monitoring of water quality in rivers, swimming pools, lakes, and even for hydroponics and fish farms is possible, detecting chemical leakages and pollution levels.

Benefits of NW TECS Smart Precision Agriculture Solutions:

Addressing Agricultural Challenges: The solutions help address challenges like global population growth demanding more food, land and water shortages, changing consumer patterns, and the need to preserve natural resources.

Overcoming Connectivity Limitations: LoRaWAN technology provides long-range (over 15 km) and low-power wireless connectivity, enabling monitoring and control in rural areas where cellular network coverage is poor.

Cost-Effective and Efficient: LoRaWAN-based solutions utilize low-cost sensors with long battery life (up to 15 years), reducing maintenance and operating costs. They are also easy, cost-efficient, and fast to deploy.

Data-Driven Decision Making: Real-time data from sensors allows farmers to make accurate decisions about their fields and crops, leading to optimized operations and increased productivity.

Improved Crop Yields and Resource Management: By providing actionable data, these solutions enable more efficient water management, optimized plant growth, and improved crop yields.

Enhanced Security and Safety: The solutions can help with safety controls and security protection against natural disasters, theft, and accidents.

How it Works:

LoRaWAN-based sensors send agricultural data from the farm to the cloud where it can be analyzed. NW TECS provides the IoT enabler platform, including the LoRaWAN network server and software, to manage public or private networks under a unified, scalable, multipurpose IoT network infrastructure. Actility provides the IoT connectivity platform to manage the network and sensors.

The platform offers features, graphical widgets, and analytics for integrated asset management and efficiency tracking. Ready-to-go dashboards are available for smart metering, fleet management, and building automation.
