Farming & Agricultural Energy Intelligence — Irrigation, Greenhouse & Cold Chain

EC.DATA monitors irrigation pumping energy, greenhouse climate control, cold storage, and renewable generation across farming operations — reducing water and energy costs with data-driven scheduling.

Agricultural Energy Challenges

  • Irrigation follows fixed schedules regardless of actual soil moisture and weather conditions
  • Pump energy costs are a black box — no visibility into cost per hectare irrigated
  • Frost warnings arrive too late to protect crops
  • Greenhouse climate control runs continuously regardless of crop growth stage
  • Cold storage energy for produce unknown and unmonitored
  • Solar and diesel generator energy not correlated with operational costs

EC.DATA Farming Solutions

  • Soil moisture and weather station integration for demand-driven irrigation scheduling (EC.IoT — LoRaWAN)
  • Irrigation pump energy monitoring with cost per cycle and per zone (EC.EMS)
  • EC.Alerts: frost warnings, soil moisture depletion, and tank level alerts
  • Greenhouse temperature, humidity, and CO₂ monitoring for climate optimization (EC.IoT)
  • Cold storage temperature compliance logging for produce and perishables (EC.IoT — HACCP)
  • Solar generation monitoring correlated with pump and irrigation schedules (EC.EMS)
  • EC.Bills: utility bill audit for grid-connected farm sites

Farming: matching water and energy to what the crop actually needs

Traditional irrigation scheduling wastes 20–40% of pump energy by running fixed cycles regardless of recent rainfall, evapotranspiration, or actual soil moisture. EC.DATA's agriculture solution connects LoRaWAN soil moisture sensors and weather stations to EC.Node gateways — often solar-powered — and correlates sensor data with pump run-time and energy consumption. Irrigation runs when the soil calls for it, not when the calendar says so. Farms typically see 20–35% reduction in pumping energy and water withdrawal within the first growing season of deployment.
