Industrial ARM Touch PC for Water-Fertilizer Integrated Irrigation System

Application Overview

Water-fertilizer integrated irrigation represents the culmination of modern agricultural innovation. By incorporating information technologies such as sensors, the Internet of Things(IoT), and big data, it enables precise control over water-fertilizer ratios and application. This approach scientifically addresses increasingly severe challenges like water scarcity and drought, playing a vital role in enhancing agricultural productivity and quality while driving the transformation and upgrading of traditional farming practices.

Requirements for Water-Fertilizer Integrated Irrigation System

A certain agricultural technology group provides water-fertilizer integration products and solutions for large-scale farms. During the operation of its water-fertilizer integration system, the central controller must receive real-time soil moisture data collected by sensors. It compares this data against pre-set soil parameter ranges to automatically control the opening and closing of solenoid valves, enabling timed and metered irrigation. This reduces the frequency and duration of manual intervention. Simultaneously, farm environments frequently face challenges such as rainfall, dust, extreme temperatures and humidity, and altitude-related atmospheric pressure. The controller’s hardware performance directly impacts the system’s operational efficiency. Specific requirements are as follows:

• Flush-mounted installation with a high-definition touchscreen display;
• High-performance processor supporting intelligent detection algorithms for efficient processing of sensor data;
• Comprehensive I/O interfaces supporting connectivity with multiple sensor types;
• Network connectivity, supporting remote operation via computer or mobile app;
• Rugged and durable, designed to withstand harsh agricultural environments.

For the current application scenario, the most ideal and efficient choice is to deploy our all-in-one display & control unit — ARM Touch PC, delivering integrated visualization and control functions to maximize the operational efficiency of the irrigation system.
