Use cases
Smart irrigation for open-field crops, zone by zone.
Monitor soil moisture, flow and valve status across large open-field plots with LoRaWAN sensor nodes and an edge controller that keeps irrigating even offline.
Why open-field irrigation needs zone-level control
Open-field irrigation covers large, uneven plots where a single calendar cannot match what each zone needs. Smart irrigation control uses soil moisture and valve status at the plot, so water is applied where the crop is actually dry instead of across the whole field.
The challenge
Open-field operations spread valves and plots across kilometers. Coverage is uneven, wiring is impractical, and irrigation decisions end up based on a fixed calendar instead of what each zone actually needs.
How Bloomiot approaches it
- Soil Sensor Nodes measure moisture next to the plot and publish over LoRaWAN, without long data runs.
- The Edge Controller applies irrigation logic locally, so zones keep operating when connectivity drops.
- The Workspace consolidates every zone into one operational view with field map and alerts.
What the team gets
- Zone-level irrigation decisions instead of one schedule for the whole farm.
- Fewer field trips to confirm whether a valve actually opened.
- A record of what was irrigated, when, and under which soil conditions.
Who this is for
- Growers running multi-zone open-field irrigation.
- Irrigation operators who cannot walk every valve after each event.
- Agronomy teams that need a record of what each zone received.
