Solution Details

Policy Background for High-Standard Farmland Construction

In September 2021, the State Council issued the "National High-Standard Farmland Construction Plan (2021-2030)", which defines the main targets for high-standard farmland construction nationwide. By 2030, the cumulative area of high-standard farmland is targeted to reach 1.2 billion mu, with 280 million mu upgraded. Newly constructed high-standard farmland is expected to achieve a water-saving rate of over 10% per mu.

Key Functions of the Irrigation District Information Management System

Intelligent Pump Station Monitoring and Control for Unmanned Operation
- Remote or automatic pump start/stop control based on preset conditions.
- Monitor pump operating current, voltage, power consumption, and status.
- Extensible monitoring of source water level, flow, pressure, etc.
Integrated Valve Monitoring and Control for Optimal Water Allocation
- Remote or local control of valve opening/closing.
- Monitor water level and flow upstream/downstream of the valve, and the valve's operational status.
Real-Time Channel Flow Monitoring to Support Agricultural Water Pricing Reform
- Real-time monitoring of canal water level and flow provides data support for smart management and timely water dispatch.
- Flow Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of instantaneous and cumulative channel flow provides a basis for metered charging.
- Water Level Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of channel water level ensures normal irrigation water delivery.
Soil Moisture & Meteorological Monitoring for Rational Irrigation and Smart Water Saving
- Soil Moisture Monitoring: Monitors soil water content, temperature, and humidity.
- Meteorological Monitoring: Monitors weather elements such as air temperature, pressure, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, rainfall, and solar radiation.
- Water Level Monitoring: High-precision monitoring of field water level to obtain accurate evaporation data.
Video Surveillance for Visualized Irrigation District Operation
- Visually inspect the operation of gate/pump stations, personnel entry, and channel water conditions.
- Enables managers to understand field conditions at any time.

Approach

How we implement intelligence into your infrastructure step by step.

Preliminary Planning

Conduct on-site survey of irrigation district layout, working conditions, and facilities. Engage with multi-level stakeholders to clarify functional and compliance requirements.

Solution Design

Create equipment deployment diagrams, specify installation methods and parameters. Establish a four-layer architecture of "Perception - Transmission - Platform - Application". Finalize selection of equipment, communication, and functional modules.

Hardware Deployment

Complete foundation work (bases, poles, etc.) during non-irrigation seasons. Install protective and reinforcement devices for equipment. Install sensors, actuators, and other devices. Conduct single-device accuracy and action tests. Deploy gateways and communication modules to form the IoT network. Test data transmission stability.

System Development

Set up servers and databases. Configure basic system functions. Develop customized modules such as intelligent irrigation. Complete interface development with upper-level supervision platforms to enable automatic data reporting.

Commissioning and Acceptance

Conduct a trial run for 1-2 crop growth cycles. Collect issues and perform optimizations. Test system indicators item by item according to requirements. Hand over technical documentation.
