Smart Irrigation

Il problema

Irrigation runs on timers regardless of soil moisture or rain, wasting water in some zones and under-watering others, and pump faults are found by crop damage.

Panoramica della soluzione

MILESGO gateways collect data from soil moisture and EC sensors, irrigation valves and pump starters, flow meters, rain gauges, weather stations over LoRaWAN / Modbus RTU, and deliver it to a cloud platform (MQTT), WEB HMI panels, SMS, email and messaging alarms as MQTT / Modbus TCP. Field equipment keeps its own protocol and control logic; integration is done by configuration and point mapping, not custom code.

Typical scope

  • soil moisture and EC sensors
  • irrigation valves and pump starters
  • flow meters
  • rain gauges
  • weather stations

Protocol path

LoRaWAN / Modbus RTU → MQTT / Modbus TCP

Implementation checklist for the project manager

  • Run a LoRaWAN coverage survey and pick the regional band (EU868 / US915 / AU915 / AS923 / KR920 / CN470) before ordering.
  • Write the control sequence (start/stop order, interlocks, set-points, fallback on communication loss) and have it approved before programming.
  • Outdoor sites need a weatherproof, ventilated enclosure with surge protection; the gateways are panel-mount devices (working range -20 °C to +70 °C).
  • Check 4G signal and the SIM data plan at every site before committing to cellular backhaul.
  • For hard-wired signals, list each DI/DO/AI/AO with its type (dry contact, 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, PT1000) and choose I/O modules accordingly.
  • Roll out in phases: pilot one site or area, confirm data quality, then replicate.

Project deliverables

  • Signed point table and protocol mapping
  • Gateway configuration files and backups
  • IP address plan and network drawing
  • FAT and SAT test records
  • As-built documentation and operator training

Architettura del sistema

Field layer: soil moisture and EC sensors, irrigation valves and pump starters, flow meters, rain gauges, weather stations, connected over LoRaWAN / Modbus RTU. Edge and integration layer: MILESGO protocol gateways and edge controllers, mounted on DIN rail in existing panels, polling each device, time-stamping values and buffering them locally. Upper layer: a cloud platform (MQTT), WEB HMI panels, SMS, email and messaging alarms, which receives the data as MQTT / Modbus TCP. Remote access for maintenance runs over VPN rather than open internet ports.

Fasi di realizzazione

  1. 1

    Site survey and point list

    Inventory devices, protocols, register maps, panel space, power and network paths.

  2. 2

    Design and point table sign-off

    Map every point to the target protocol and system; agree it with the client and the upper-system contractor.

  3. 3

    Configuration and FAT

    Build the gateway configuration off site, simulate it and test against the signed point table.

  4. 4

    Installation and wiring

    Mount gateways on DIN rail, wire RS-485 / I/O / Ethernet, apply the IP plan.

  5. 5

    SAT and alarm tests

    Verify values against local readings, test every alarm and command end to end.

  6. 6

    Handover and support

    Hand over configuration backups, point table and as-built documents; train operators.

Valore per il cliente

  • Unattended sites supervised without permanent staff
  • Reliable trend data for optimisation and fault diagnosis
