Automated Pump Stations for Efficient Irrigation Systems: Reinforcing the Inter-Industry Capability of Terra M 

When our client, the owner of a medium sized cereal producing holding in the Paris basin, approached us for an IoT-powered pump to monitor irrigation systems and promote ideal plant growth and protection, we had the right solution for them. Terra M, our proficient multi-sensor integrable IoT water controller for automating the pump station at the irrigation site. 

A few months before: 

Our client was incredibly happy with the ample water supply at his pump station for irrigating their farmland. However, he noticed that the water supply to the various sections within the farmland was inconsistent. When some areas were overwatered, others lacked prompt water supply. As a result, the plants grew stagnant producing a poor seasonal harvest. A pump controller to remotely monitor the irrigation systems for consistent watering. The need for the hour was well-defined.  

Fast forward to the recent past:  

They approached the right partner, TerraConnect, pioneer in advanced water tech solutions and started developing the targeted solution for the client. After a primary analysis we realized that 

  • The pump station lacked an efficient controller to monitor the water supply to the fields 
  • The water collected from the basin for irrigation exhibited inconsistencies in pH value over a period 
  • The client did not have facility to monitor the pump operations remotely 
  • The pump station also supplied water to our client’s small sheep farm. 

We have worked with livestock farm managers before and know that consuming low pH water will damage the gut health of the animals over time.  This made us put forth the suggestion of a water controller with automated dosing potential as an add on feature with the requested pump automation.  Focusing on the right sensors for a comprehensive water treatment solution, we introduced one controller for all the challenges faced by our client: Terra M.  

The following features of Terra M impressed the client and facilitated seamless automation of the pump for the agricultural fields. 

  • AI enhanced predictive maintenance capability 
  • Advanced scheduling for remote task management 
  • Proficient multi-sensor integrable controller 
  • Flow sensor 
  • Temperature sensor 
  • Pressure sensor 
  • Pump control (ON/OFF | Adjust RPM) 
  • Consistent monitoring and notification of water chemistry  
  • High sensitivity to minute parameter deviation 
  • Historical data on pump parameters: Pump speed, Voltage spikes, Power intake 
  • Efficient optimization of energy and water resources 
  • Seamless integration with existing pump station infrastructure 

That was not it. We also did something for the sheep! The water controller was equipped with intelligent dosing potential, for auto correction of inconsistencies in the water chemistry. Any abnormalities in the quality of the water will be notified as an alarm, and the intelligent dosing of the neutralizer is activated based on the parameters. How did TerraConnect proficiently integrate the AI powered automation into our IoT water controller? Nuventure Connect, the global technology solution associate of TerraConnect developed customized AI algorithms for the remote controlling and data driven capabilities of the water controller.  

Our client was on cloud nine when the comprehensive AI-IoT water tech solution we offered worked wonders at their farm. TerraConnect’s synergetic problem-solving approach yielded   a cost-effective solution the client had sought. With one smart controller, the client could remotely manage the water availability at his fields and small farm. 

The present: 

Excited to share the impressive change in their recent harvest, the client visited us and shared the review that filled us with immense gratification. To see our targeted solutions helping our clients overcome challenges seamlessly, assisting them to stay ahead with a competitive edge, is our dream come true moment.  

  • The client had a fast & effortless onboarding experience with mobile app integrated onto the controller 
  • 24*7 availability of data on water flow, quality and energy usage at the pump station 
  • A significant reduction in energy consumption at the pump house with optimized usage of energy and resources 
  • A bumper harvest with bountiful yield and quality produce and a remarkable change in livestock health after provision of automatically treated water using the controller 
  • Pro-active maintenance of the pump with zero downtime for round the clock treatment and less maintenance costs
