Tevatronic · raw details

Tevatronic develops an autonomous irrigation system designed to identify how much water plants need and then stop the flow when it reaches a precise, predetermined depth. Its system promotes increased crop health and productivity while lowering the use of water and fertilizer, thus reducing soil contamination. At the heart of the Tevatronic system is the valve switch controller, which is connected to a cloud server. The valve switch receives data from sensors (tensiometers) placed in the ground near the plants. Each sensor on the irrigation line reads the water pressure level of the surrounding soil, and when the soil is dry, the controller sends a signal to the relevant irrigation valve to commence irrigation. Tevatronic's algorithm calculates how long watering should continue, and when the time is up, the irrigation stops. Eventually the plant controls its own irrigation by integrating with the new irrigation method.
