Traditional farm management methods can be time-consuming, labour intensive and expensive, leaving farmers struggling to adapt. Industrial automation and control solutions are changing the agriculture game, helping farmers overcome challenges like reduced land availability, water shortages and weather patterns by using less to grow more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Precision agriculture or smart farming leverages automation technology and equipment to optimise almost every farming task. Using sensors, automated systems and comprehensive data sets, farmers are able to increase crop yields and profitability, while reducing the use of resources like water, fertilisers and insecticides.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Automation equipment is being used to streamline manual tasks traditionally carried out by humans, helping farmers to get back more time and resources to direct elsewhere. Some examples of automation equipment that are readily being deployed on farms include:<\/p>\n
Using automation control systems, farmers can adjust settings without needing to be on the farm, with the ability to relay information or tasks back to automation equipment. An irrigation management system is a key example. Using Robustel devices, farmers can set a trigger condition for irrigation to be turned off or on. This can also be used across other equipment. If an oil quality sensor shows that the oil in a system needs to be changed, an alert can be sent directly to the farmer via SMS or even email.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the past, irrigation was set up with a simple timer, automatically switching on at programmed intervals\u2026 but timed irrigation often can’t be controlled remotely. Robustel devices can power automated irrigation solutions to allow farmers to switch on, switch off and adjust settings from a mobile device. Using sensors that are installed in areas of the irrigation system, farmers are able to view the data in real time and make decisions without needing to be on site.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Automating technologies on farms can help farmers overcome a lot of factors that can make livestock and crop management a challenge. These solutions can also cut down on labour-intensive tasks, saving farmers time and money.<\/p>\n
Robustel is here to help farmers find the solution for their farm. Using sensors that relay information back to control systems, farmers can adjust their systems as factors like humidity, soil wetness and temperature changes. You’ll be able to access the local storage of large amounts of data to inform farm management systems.<\/p>\n
