saic
Based on the current SAIC, or Semi-Automated Irrigation Controller, we can roughly assess a distinct generation of agricultural technology: The key aspect with this one is to control and optimize water usage in irrigation systems, increasing both production and efficiency. The SAICs sensors measure soil moisture levels, weather conditions and plant water requirements. With this data, the system can adjust volume and timing of water to be distributed over the fields automatically. Among its technology features are wireless connections, real-time monitoring and easy-to-use interfaces providing working information for the farm manager. Large-scale grain production, smaller horticultural start-ups–even individual gardens can utilize SAIC applications. By ensuring that plant water needs are satisfied, modern agriculture quickly saves water and greatly reduces waste. It's one of today's most important tools for farming.
