The Challenge
Our client was managing irrigation across 2,400 acres using traditional scheduling methods. Farm managers had no real-time visibility into soil moisture levels, weather patterns, or crop water stress indicators. This led to inefficient water usage, inconsistent crop yields, and difficulty in making data-driven irrigation decisions. The agricultural cooperative needed a centralized system to monitor multiple farm locations and optimize water distribution based on actual field conditions.
Our Solution
We developed a comprehensive smart irrigation platform that integrates IoT sensors, weather data, and crop analytics to provide actionable insights for precision water management across all farm locations.
Technology Stack
Frontend
- • React.js with TypeScript for web dashboard
- • React Native for field mobile app
- • Chart.js for data visualization
- • Tailwind CSS for responsive design
Backend & Infrastructure
- • Node.js with Express.js API server
- • PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB for sensor data
- • Redis for caching and session management
- • Docker containerization on AWS EC2
Real-time Monitoring
- Soil moisture sensors at 3 depths per field
- Weather station integration for microclimate data
- Automated irrigation valve control system
Smart Analytics
- Crop water requirement calculations
- Predictive irrigation scheduling algorithms
- Water usage optimization recommendations
Development Approach
Field Assessment & Requirements Gathering
Conducted on-site visits to understand existing irrigation practices, soil conditions, and crop rotation patterns. Interviewed farm managers to identify pain points in current water management workflows.
IoT Infrastructure Setup
Installed soil moisture sensors and weather stations across pilot fields. Developed custom firmware for data collection and implemented LoRaWAN network for reliable field-to-cloud communication.
Platform Development & Integration
Built responsive web dashboard and mobile app with real-time data visualization. Integrated external weather APIs and developed machine learning models for irrigation recommendations.
Testing & Deployment
Conducted extensive field testing during different crop cycles. Trained farm staff on system usage and implemented automated backup systems for data reliability.

Client Feedback
"The Smart Irrigation Platform has transformed how we manage water across our farms. Our team can now make informed decisions based on actual field conditions rather than guesswork. The mobile app is particularly valuable for our field supervisors who can monitor and control irrigation remotely. SmartBhujal's team understood our agricultural needs and delivered a solution that fits perfectly into our daily operations."
