Presentation

70% of the world's water is used for the irrigation of agricultural fields. Telaqua's ambition is to put its expertise around big data and IoT at the service of better water management. Telaqua is an expert in smart irrigation, and provides the solution to monitor and optimize remote irrigation systems, from the valve to the plant. Solution Telaqua is a connected solution for remote control of irrigation. The company offers a complete tool for the optimization of water resources, from the analysis of agricultural data via, in particular, the presence of sensors in the soil ; measurement of parameters related to irrigation ; automation of irrigation and monitoring water consumption. The monitoring of the automated system makes it possible to ensure in real time the operation and performance of the equipment. Key advantages Irrigation requires time and significant travel from farmers, while operations can be automated. Thanks to Telaqua's solution, they can monitor their irrigation systems in real time and control valves and pumps from their mobile. Sensors make it possible to monitor what is happening between the network and the plant: Through monitoring water losses and identifying possible problems on the network, it is possible to ensure that the optimal water status is respected. The detection of irregularities or breakdowns therefore allows better management of water resources and optimization of harvests.
