Most of the earth is covered in water. However, only three percent of it is fresh water. Liquid freshwater is a precious commodity that is becoming increasingly scarce worldwide.
Currently, water withdrawals by agriculture in this country are already at a low level, especially in international comparison. However, while water withdrawals for industry have been falling continuously, water withdrawals for irrigation in Germany have increased steadily in recent years.
iQ HydrON can be perfectly tailored to the individual needs of agricultural businesses and offers a digital solution for more efficient field irrigation.
At Beulco, we understand that agriculture is a dynamic sector that places unique demands on irrigation systems. Our software solutions are designed to optimize and maximize your agricultural irrigation processes. The integration of additional sensors makes it possible to collect precise data on soil moisture, temperature and other parameters. This allows for fine-tuned irrigation based on the actual needs of your fields.
Here are some of the ways we address your land irrigation needs and challenges:
iQ HydrON creates a digital twin of the irrigation area, which helps to analyze the effectiveness of irrigation measures.
The basic package clearly displays water sources (e.g. hydrants, lines and standpipes) and water consumption data*.
The interactive map gives you a precise overview of everything.
Recorded and created data is clearly displayed on the dashboard. Depending on the application, these can be called up in different categories and their presentation can be customized. This makes it possible to compare different data at the touch of a button (e.g. line utilization) or to put them in relation to each other (e.g. farmers and assigned standpipes).
Many different sensors such as leaf wetness sensors, weather stations, drones, cameras and much more can be integrated into iQ HydrON.
The weather station is able to display current weather data in the software and thus optimize the irrigation of the fields
Many different sensors such as leaf wetness sensors, weather stations, drones, cameras and much more can be integrated into iQ HydrON.
The soil moisture sensor is able to determine the current moisture value in the soil
All available information is made accessible on an individual platform, clearly laid out and perfectly adapted to the user's needs.
A special GPS tracker is used to meet the demanding requirements, for example for standpipe operation. The robust housing can withstand even the toughest conditions. The standpipe (or other pulse-driven water meter) can be tracked via the GPS signal to the meter.
Our ever-growing portfolio of sensors, iQ connectIT, can be easily integrated into our customizable platform. This customizable sensor technology offers a wealth of possibilities. Integrating iQ connectIT into your systems not only allows you to collect and analyze data, but also to tailor it to your specific requirements.
They provide real-time information that enables companies to react quickly to changes and make informed decisions.
iQ HydrON can be customised and expanded to suit your needs using modules:

Digitalization can help to make water withdrawal transparent and to coordinate water demand and irrigation supply based on weather data and soil moisture meters, among other things. The aim is to provide efficient irrigation support for farmers and to document and analyze consumption patterns so that adjustments can be made if necessary.
The iQ water system offers network optimization and management for water suppliers and end customers. It starts at the transfer point from the supplier to the customer and enables transparency of the transfer point and the drinking water network almost in real time. The digitalization of the house connection opens up many opportunities and benefits for the water supplier and customer. These include intelligent metering and flexible control of water consumption (smart metering)
For the smart home sector, we have developed monitors for energy consumption at home. This makes it easy to monitor and optimize water, gas and electricity consumption using a smartphone. This allows water leaks, for example, to be detected and energy costs to be made transparent.
