Agriculture-Smart Farming

Industry Insight

Smart Trucks

Use any or all the above on:
– Combines
– Truck that sprays steam onto hay and hay balers
– Automatic Seeder
– Slurry Tanker (Terragator) for spreading fertilizer, pesticides, and manure.
– Produce Sorters, Conveyor Analyzers
– Cotton Pickers

Cold Storage Units

– Most of them have a PLC and an HMI already
– Just add an Edge Gateway like a Flexy205 which communicates to all PLCs
– Then send the data to AWS directly to our QCS IIoT Servers (QCloudServer)

Solution for Smart Farming =QSolarBattery + QRTU + QCS IIoT

QRTU

– Think of this as a Programmable Controller with input sensors and the ability to remotely control pumps for tank level control or control VFDs for Irrigation
– Soil Moisture Sensor – 4-20mA or we can use LoRaWAN for Smart Sensors
– Level Sensors – 4-20mA inside Tanks
– Flow Sensors – 4-20mA to and from Tanks
– Airmar or any Weather Stations – Serial Communications to the PLC – Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, Wind Direction, Wind Speed
– Or access NOAH via an API and get National Weather Reports for specific GPS coordinates.
– We can use another serial port or an Ethernet Port and communicate to the VFD to control the pump speed and slowly ramp up the water going into the Irrigation Units.
– We can use a Flexy205 Edge Gateway with either a WiFi or LTE Cellular Card to communicate directly to Amazon Web Service where our QCS IIoT resides on 4 of their servers.

QCS IIoT

– Easily build a custom Dashboard
– Data Log for Historical usage
– Generate Reports optimizing water usage
– View everything on your Smart Phone on any Web Browser

Increase the quantity and quality of your produce
Analyze the growth rate and vegetation index of the crops

QSolarBattery

Provides Off-Grid Power to the QRTU for hard to reach rural places
