Drip Smart Automation
DRIP smart - An Autonomous Farm
Established in 1997, we, Megha Agrotech, are among the pioneers in micro-irrigation equipment manufacturers and suppliers in Karnataka. Our three decades of experience in the field have helped us develop and produce micro-irrigation products in our state-of-the-art facility in bangalore, leaving our prized clients with contentment for choosing us. Now, it is our proud privilege to launch and introduce our new product DripSmart an autonomous system.
DripSmart by Megha Agrotech is a "360° Autonomous Precision Farming Platform", researched, designed, patented, and indigenously developed by Farmagain, that encompasses all facts of Agriculture such as Irrigation, Fertilization, Climate Management, Light Management, CO2 Management, Pest Management (Under R&D), Power Management, Harvest Prediction, harvest traceability, and many more using Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, IoT, and Private LoRaWAN.
DripSmart Layout
DripSmart irrigation works on the principle of maintaining "Air-Water Balance" at the root zone all 24 hours a day, not just starting /stopping irrigations based on real-time readings from sesnors. While all farm automation systems available in the market today are "valve" centric, DripSmart was designed and developed from scratch as the only "Crop" centric platform. This makes a world of a difference as very rich data is autonomously captured on real crops grown, ultimately paving the way for analytics and optimizations based on true data.
Fertilization, Climate Management, Light Management, and Co2 Management of DripSmart work hand in hand alongside Irrigation with tonnes of AI derivatives that help enhance the effects of "Photosynthesis", which holds the Holy Grail for the growth and productivity of any crop.
DripSmart can monitor the grid's power supply and automatically switch between grid and backup power where available. Flushing off the irrigation lines frequently to keep them clean and avoid clogging is the other feature.
DripSmart can effectively take care of, Harvest Traceability discloses the growing practices to an end consumer, establishing great trust and a deep bond between a grower and a consumer.
DripSmart carries out irrigation and fertigation scheduled by the intelligence system based on real-time data collected from CropAid which is powered by solar power at the field level, the attributes collected majorly include - soil moisture, soil temperature, soil humidity, soil-water tension, etc. WaterAid and NutriAid are used to regulate the supply of water and nutrient (fertilizer) respectively.
Real-time data of the farm is reflected in the multilingual app which is available for both Android and iOS and includes information such as Irrigation & Fertigation Status, Local weather Information, Fertigation Tank Status, Generator Status, soil moisture, temperature, ambient humidity, liminosity Status and trend, Weather alert, and warnings and can be extended so on as the system is compatible for the higher accurate devioce enhancement viz, weather stations, pH, EC, NPK,sensors, etc
DRIP smart - Differentiation
Precise Irrigation
DripSmart ensures crops are precisely irrigated automatically without any human intervention and reduces water consumption by upto 50%.
Protected Cultivation
DripSmart ensures climate in protected cultivation environment is ideal for crops, temperature and humidity in a protected structures like net house or poly house is maintained at ideal levels to ensure crop productivity and disease control.
Yield Boost
With precise fertigation, irrigation and timely guidance from agronomists on nutrition and disease management, yield get a significant boost by upto 50% and in some cases by upto 200%.
Crop-Specific Fertigation Plans
Precise Fertigation of crop by DripSmart based on a schedule recommended by Agronomist and automatically adjusts fertigation based on real-time conditions of the crop.
Pest & Disease Control (R&D)
Our Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision technology enable early detection of pest, disease or nutrition deficiency in plants and instantly connects with an Agronomist to remediate.
Autonomous Precision
DripSmart runs irrigation and fertigation in a farm without missing a day and without manual intervention. Ensures crops receive the precise irrigation and fertigation, thereby increasing their productivity and resistance to pst and diseases.
Smart Farms
Geo plotting, daily fertigation and irrigation updates, images of crops to track growth and detect diseases helps get complete visibility to farm and crop health.
Track Harvest
Track target vs actual yield. Publish upcoming harvest on DripSmart network and get connected with potential buyers.
