Agrotronics Watering System

Agrotronics Watering System (AWS) is an autonomous watering system designed to work standalone in applying controlled amounts of water to the soil based on sensor’s feedback. In the field of agriculture, this process is also called water irrigation. Current watering system that we have today in the market uses a Timer or manual labours to irrigate the soil. These methods have their own disadvantages. For example, by using a Timer, the soil still gets irrigated even if it is raining outside. On the other hand, employing manual labours to take care of the plants can be extremely costly as well. Therefore, AWS was built to address these problems by simply answering the questions of “When do I water?” and “How long do I water?”. The best part is that AWS comes with its own Windows application which allows the users to monitor the irrigation system in real time. The sensor’s data shown by this application can be exported into an excel worksheet for further analysis later on. After integrating AWS into the gardening process as in my project, I have managed to resolve my watering problems permanently. AWS has also managed to reduce my water and electricity bills drastically as well. As a conclusion, gardening has been a great amusement for me after AWS is introduced.
