Smart Water-Saving Irrigation Control System Solution

Background Overview

With the increasing global water scarcity, especially in large-scale agricultural planting areas, traditional irrigation methods face issues such as water waste, cumbersome manual operations, and imprecise irrigation control. To address these pain points, we have helped our customers develop a wireless smart irrigation controller PCBA. This controller utilizes advanced PCBA technology, integrating various sensors and wireless communication modules to achieve precise, automated irrigation control, significantly improving agricultural irrigation efficiency and reducing costs.

Application of PCBA Technology in Wireless Smart Irrigation Controller

The core control module of the wireless smart irrigation controller adopts a high-performance PCBA circuit board, featuring the following technical characteristics and functional advantages:

1️⃣ Wireless Remote Control PCBA Module

• Integrates LoRa, NB-IoT, Wi-Fi, and other wireless communication modules, enabling remote control via mobile APP or computer.
• No need for wiring or control cabinets, significantly reducing installation and maintenance costs.
• Onboard MCU controller supports multiple communication protocols to ensure stable and reliable data transmission.

2️⃣ Solar Power Supply PCBA Module

• Utilizes an efficient solar power control circuit combined with MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology to enhance solar energy conversion efficiency.
• PCBA includes battery charging management functionality, ensuring stable operation even in low sunlight conditions.

3️⃣ Timed and Precision Irrigation Control PCBA Module

• Integrates precise timing circuits and flow detection modules to support scheduled and measured irrigation.
• Through sensor data feedback, the controller adjusts the water flow as needed and automatically shuts off the valve to achieve precise irrigation, avoiding water wastage.

4️⃣ Intelligent Alert and Feedback PCBA Module

• Equipped with leakage detection, water shortage alerts, and low voltage warnings.
• Real-time data is transmitted to the APP, allowing users to monitor irrigation status and promptly address anomalies.

5️⃣ Rotational Irrigation Control PCBA Module

• Utilizes MCU programming control with a built-in rotational irrigation algorithm, supporting multi-device sequential irrigation.
• The PCBA sequentially opens valves, preventing water pressure shortages from leaving some areas without water, optimizing irrigation resource distribution.

🌾 Real-World Application Results

In a large-scale agricultural irrigation project in Brazil, the customer previously used traditional manual valve control, which encountered the following issues:

✅ Cluttered pipelines affecting field operations

✅ Manual on-site monitoring required during irrigation, consuming time and labor

✅ Difficulties in precisely controlling irrigation volumes, resulting in water wastage

✅✅ Solution: By introducing Automation’s wireless smart irrigation controller, combined with KKPCB’s high-reliability PCBA solution, the project achieved:

• Remote precision irrigation control, eliminating the need for manual intervention and enabling intelligent operation.
• Rotational irrigation mode, ensuring orderly irrigation when water supply is limited, guaranteeing adequate water distribution to each area.
• Water usage monitoring and feedback, allowing real-time tracking of irrigation progress, significantly improving water resource utilization.

✅✅ Final Results: Water resource utilization improved by approximately 35%, labor costs reduced by around 50%, and crop yields significantly increased.
