Agriculture-Smart Farming

5/10/2021

 
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

​Solution for Smart Farming = QSolarBattery + 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.

Bale Hay While the Sun Shines: A Revolution in Commercial Hay ProductionA steam generating plant on wheels? That’s right. The DewPoint 6110 hooks up between a large farm tractor and hay balers that make large rectangular bales from 1,500 to 2,000 lb each (Fig. 1). Its purpose is to add moisture to dry hay to prevent mechanical damage to the crop during the baling process. This revolutionary concept, which has been successfully used and refined over the past 14 years, will change the way hay is made. Read more
