Precision Irrigation: Automated Control for Optimal Resource Utilisation
Move beyond simple timers and take full control of your irrigation strategy. The Augos Precision Irrigation solution integrates real-time soil, weather, and infrastructure data to deliver a fully automated system for control and optimisation. Improve water utilisation, cut operational expenditure, and build resilience for your Agriculture or Turf operations.
Why an Integrated Approach to Irrigation is Mission-Critical
For large-scale Agriculture and Turf operations, irrigation is a complex balancing act between resource costs, asset performance, and operational risk. Our Precision Irrigation solution, a key part of the entire Augos Water Management suite, is engineered not just to save water, but to provide a complete system for control, automation, and optimisation.
Optimize Operational Expenditure (OpEx)
This solution is designed to directly reduce your two biggest irrigation costs: water procurement and the high cost of pumping energy. By automating schedules based on precise data, you eliminate waste and ensure pumps run only when necessary, delivering a clear and measurable return on investment.
Improve Asset Performance & Yield
Data-driven irrigation creates the optimal growing environment. By preventing both over- and under-watering, you promote healthier root systems, leading to more resilient turf that can withstand stress, and higher, more consistent crop yields.
Build Operational Resilience
In the face of water scarcity and restrictions, having an automated, auditable, and highly efficient irrigation system is a critical component of operational resilience. Our platform provides the data to justify your water use and the control to manage it with precision.
Key Capabilities of Our Integrated Irrigation Solution
Our solution combines several powerful platform features into a single, cohesive system.
Data-Driven Irrigation Scheduling
We use live data from in-ground soil moisture probes and local evapotranspiration (ET) weather feeds to calculate the exact water requirement for each specific zone, ensuring you never water on a fixed, wasteful schedule.
Automated Pumping & Resource Optimisation
The system doesn't just control valves; it controls your entire water supply chain. It can automatically trigger pumps based on irrigation demand and, if you have multiple water sources (e.g., borehole, dam, municipal), it can be configured to prioritize the most cost-effective source first.
Flow & Pressure Monitoring for System Integrity
Our solution actively monitors your irrigation lines during operation. By tracking flow rates and pressure in real-time, the platform can instantly detect anomalies like line breaks or blockages and automatically shut down the relevant zone and alert your team, preventing massive water loss and protecting your infrastructure.
How Our Integrated System Works: Sense, Decide, Act, Verify
Our solution delivers true automation through a continuous, four-stage feedback loop.
Sense (The Complete Data Picture)
We gather data from multiple sources: Augos Soil Moisture Probes in the ground, Level Sensors in your dams and tanks, and local weather station feeds.
Decide (The Optimisation Engine)
The Augos Intelligence Platform acts as the brain. It analyzes all incoming data against your predefined rules (e.g., "maintain soil moisture between 25-35%") to make an intelligent decision on when, where, and how much to water.
Act (Automated Control)
The platform automatically sends commands to your on-site hardware. It triggers Pump Controllers to start your pumps and opens specific Valve Controllers to deliver water only to the zones that need it.
Verify (The Feedback Loop)
During the irrigation cycle, Augos Flow Sensors verify that the correct volume of water is being delivered and monitor for leaks. All consumption and energy data is logged for detailed cost and performance reporting.
