The society is evolving and digital transformation including the Internet of Things (IoT), Soil-crop imaging, application of satellite data and AI is on the trend for agricultural transformation. Saerd-tech Consultants is working on implementing the next generation of commercial climate, soil-crop, and irrigation solutions involving IoT, soil-crop phenology analysis, and weather forecasting. Saerd-tech smart innovation: Smart data platform, Mobile App, USSD code (require not internet), instant smartphone soil-crop image analysis enables farmers to make data-driven decisions including precision watering application and detect soil nutrients which is not possible with the current irrigation systems.

Our Solution

Saerd-Tech Consultants aims to provide farmers with smart solutions based on optimal soil conditions targeting irrigation to the intended zone and enhancing water management through app and SMS. We have built and improving own platform for IoT systems and GSM-cellular. The Pilot lab test of the first prototype of the smart system was tested (Dec/2023-March/2024) at Tokyo University and Technology, Japan by one of the irrigation technical experts. We are making modifications to improve the robustness of the system by integrating AI, soil-crop imaging, and Satellite data and building an all-in-one IoT device that fits marketing conditions in Africa, as we plan for pilot deployment and test of the system in Uganda, then Kenya, Tanz and Rwanda to address climate issues, save water, energy and improve yields in Africa. Our next plan is to integrate Data assimilation, flood and weather forecasting with IoT and have a platform that can collect the data from the soil, crop, flood, drought and weather. The data is vital for developing appropriate weather forecasting solutions, make strong decision for farm management. Additionally, our expert team make recommendations to the farmer, stakeholders and general about the real-time weather events including floods, droughts and precision irrigation and fertilization. Our business is to bring the technology for Agriculture to be sustainable.

The unique features of our IoT Smart Precision Irrigation from the classical ones, is the use of Lora wireless IoT and GSM-cellular communication for sensors and valves which is solar powered fitting well in rural parts of Africa
