SMART-technologies in Irrigation Management of a Remote Land Plot

The purpose of this work is to design an automatic irrigation system on a remote land plot. Along with this the objectives of the designed system were the requirement of intelligence and interactivity. In other words the automation system should not only open the solenoid valves according to the schedule, but also control the separate zones taking into account the temperature, soil humidity, weather, etc., while notifying the user of events. The result of this work is the project of an interactive irrigation management system with the possibility of remote interaction. Besides there is a developed client-server application that implements this remote interaction in a simple and familiar way through a mobile application for a smartphone running the Android operating system. It is easy to configure flexibly or to expand the system to suit any needs, to use completely different sensors and actuators, to receive reports on stable operation and planned actions set by algorithms, or on abnormal situations, such as device failure. It is worth noting as an advantage the flexibility and scalability of the developed system in terms of integration with any information management system and digitalization of agriculture.
