Precision Irrigation System Based On Accumulated Solar Radiation

Aeon Matrix's precision irrigation system is based on accumulated solar radiation, which allows it to
automatically determine when and how much water to apply. By eliminating human judgment, our system ensures consistent watering, leading to improved crop productivity and significant cost savings.
Studies have shown that the amount of solar energy received by plants is highly correlated with the amount of evapotranspiration. Aeon Matrix’s brand new Yardian Max multifunctional smart controller — in combination with Apogee’s solar sensor (pyranometer), Yardian Data Hub, and the unique Conditional Program — provides a solution for precise irrigation based on accumulated solar radiation.

An energy threshold (the amount of light accumulation desirable between irrigations) and a watering duration should be specified for each zone so that your irrigation system automatically adapts to any changes in weather and achieves automated irrigation. Users can easily specify these parameters based on the local sunlight condition, irrigation systems, and crop-growing stage through a web browser or smartphone app.

Additionally, our Yardian Max controller is designed to be cloud-independent, eliminating the need for an internet connection. You can simply connect your smartphone to the controller via Wi-Fi for direct operation and configuration. However, if you prefer cloud connectivity, the controller seamlessly integrates with cloud services, allowing for remote control via a mobile browser. It can be connected through Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and can also be equipped with an LTE router for internet access, ensuring flexibility and convenience in remote operation.
