Smart Irrigation Revolution: Remote Field Control via Phone with Powerstat
The world of agriculture is no longer just about “more irrigation,” but has entered the era of “data-driven smart management.” At STF, our Powerstat, developed at our R&D center with a unique software and hardware architecture based on Agristat OS, combines traditional agriculture with the speed and reliability of digital technology. Powerstat, the heart of STF’s digital agriculture ecosystem, acts as a “digital assistant” that lets you manage your field from your pocket.
Especially in vast areas like the Konya Plain, manually controlling irrigation systems spread over hundreds of acres means both a huge loss of time and high labor costs. If a valve is left open or a pump breaks down, it may be too late by the time it is noticed hours later.
This is where STF’s digital agriculture solution, Powerstat, comes into play, offering modern farmers four critical advantages:
1. 24/7 Real-Time and Uninterrupted Pressure Monitoring
The farmer’s worst nightmare in irrigation systems is a field turning into a lake due to a pipe bursting in the middle of the night or crops drying out due to falling pressure. Powerstat instantly measures the pressure on the line. The system sends an emergency notification directly to your mobile phone when pressure exceeds the upper or lower limits you set. You can be sure of the system’s health from where you are, without having to go to the field in the middle of the night.
2. Maximum Efficiency in Water and Energy Savings
Irrigation with incorrect pressure not only wastes water but also leads to higher electricity bills due to pumps running unnecessarily. With STF digital agriculture technology, you maintain the ideal pressure range. You provide the plant with the water it needs at the right time and at the right pressure. This precision is vital for sustainable agriculture in regions such as Konya, where water stress and energy costs are high.
3. Remote Fault Detection and Digital Security
The system not only monitors pressure but also indirectly tracks pump status through integrated sensors. In the event of a potential pump failure, power outage, or cessation of water flow, the system alerts you immediately. This feature acts as a full-fledged “digital watchdog,” especially during nighttime irrigation or on fields kilometers away from the main center.It becomes your eyes on the field.
4. Plan for the Next Season with Historical Data Analysis
Powerstat doesn’t just track “the present”; it creates an agricultural memory. It records all season irrigation data to the cloud. By reporting how much water was used in which field and when pressure fluctuated, it enables you to create next year’s planting and irrigation plan based on scientific data.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Smart Farming
Is Powerstat compatible with every irrigation system?
Powerstat can be integrated into a wide range of systems, including drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation, and is compatible with 99% of existing systems on the market.
Does the system work in areas without internet coverage?
Yes, it does. Our STF digital farming system uses a special M2M communication infrastructure that can reliably send data packets even in low signal quality (GSM/GPRS) in agricultural areas.
Is the system difficult to install, and is training provided?
No, installation is quite simple. Our central technical team in Konya Selçuklu or our authorized dealers quickly integrate the system into your field using a “plug-and-play” approach and provide detailed training on using the mobile application.
