Practising Sustainability in Agriculture with the All-in-One Controller Terra X 

It was last summer's devastating drought that pushed our client to their limits. “We lost a quarter of our crop,” they recall the plight of their wheat cultivation. "Some days during the summers, we’d drive through the fields ignoring the scorching heat, just to check if the irrigation system was working right.

It was exhausting, inefficient, and still, we were using too much water in some spots and not enough in others.”. TerraConnect distinctly remembers how this client, a small-scale agriculturalist from France lamented. Three generations had worked on their land, which was divided into zones for effective management, but never had the challenges been greater.  

Blame global warming for the intolerable heat and unpredictable decrease in water in the nearby basin which they relied upon for irrigation. “We cannot undo the climate, but we will ensure we take sustainable measures for a cooler future, where we want the next generation to sweat off at the playgrounds and not inside homes. We need a sustainable, eco-friendly tech solution.” 

Yes! The keywords that drove them towards TerraConnect for the best water-tech solution: Sustainability and Planet-Friendly Tech Solution. Presenting Terra X, our all-in-one customizable IoT controller. 

How Terra X Streamlined Precision Agriculture Against All Odds 

Terra X, which we fondly call ‘the end-to-end IoT controller’, was the savior for our client. With its advanced sensor integration capability, Terra X could precisely gather real-time data from the sensors placed across the wheat fields, assessing soil moisture content. The sophisticated multi-control system of Terra X easily integrates the valve connecting the water basin, functioning in tandem with the data gathered by the sensors. Since irrigation to specific locations is data-driven, Terra X ensures minimal errors eliminating overwatering and underwatering of the crop. The client was elated observing the precision of our proficient controller and its water-optimizing capacity that makes it stand apart from the competition. All this at a price point where automation for water treatment is now within reach of small and medium enterprises! 

Here is the list of our capabilities about Terra X that made us exceptional to the client even after the delivery: 

  1. Mobile app integration with the IoT water controller, Terra X, to remotely monitor and adjust parameters in real time 
  1. A single controller with multi-sensor capability to ensure efficient water utilization with optimized resource management 
  1. A cost-effective and proficient alternative to the equally appealing, yet expensive Programmable Logic Control (PLC) with high programming and set-up costs 
  1. Guaranteed Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) based on AI-enhanced Predictive Maintenance (PdM) algorithm for sensing imminent critical asset failure and alerting the operators ahead of the actual damage. Avoid unprecedented downtime, especially during the harvest season 
  1. Assured after-sales product support. Timely assistance in case of product-related queries, difficulties, or complaints (which are very unlikely) any time after successful installation 

Though we remember the day our client visited with the challenge of water wastage, we also remember the happy moments they shared with us, acknowledging the effort behind our advanced IoT controller Terra X in efficiently managing the water crisis during the draught.  

If you are looking for greener IoT solutions that assure sustainable and far-sighted development in your industry, TerraConnect is the right destination. Schedule a call with us as we would like to work with more planet-friendly clients who spare some thought for nature.
