Challenges of Wired Systems and the Practicality of Wireless Solutions

Challenges of Wired Systems

  • High Installation Cost: Especially in agricultural areas, extensive excavation may be required to lay cables over large areas. This is costly in terms of both labor and materials. Laying cables can take a long time.
  • Difficult Fault Detection: Detecting damage in cables, especially for underground cables, can be time-consuming.
  • Vulnerability to External Factors: Agricultural equipment, animals, or weather conditions can damage cables. Cable breaks or wear can disable the system. Additionally, moisture, chemicals, and soil structure can cause cables to degrade over time.
  • Fixed Infrastructure: Wired systems are fixed, so if a change is made in the agricultural or greenhouse area, cables may need to be re-laid.

    Wireless agricultural and greenhouse technologies provide lower installation costs and flexibility. Using wireless systems in large areas is more advantageous. Shifting towards wireless technologies in agriculture and greenhouse areas generally offers a more efficient and sustainable solution.

Advantages of Wireless Systems and Practical Use

Advantages of Wireless Systems 

Wireless systems offer many advantages compared to wired systems. Here are the main advantages of wireless systems:

Ease of Installation and Low Cost: No cable laying required. Since there is no need for physical cable laying, labor and cost are reduced. Thanks to its plug&play structure, sensors and devices can be installed and put into operation quickly.

Flexibility and Mobility: Devices can be easily moved when the field or greenhouse layout changes. New sensors or devices can be added as needed.

Wide Coverage Area: Provides remote access and control. Wireless sensor networks can be established over large areas. Data can be monitored and controlled remotely via the internet. It works integrated with IoT devices in smart agriculture and greenhouse applications, ensuring efficiency.

Ease of Maintenance: Maintenance costs are reduced as there is no physical damage such as breaks or wear in cables. Wireless systems can be easily updated with software updates.

Reduced Labor Requirement: Unlike wired systems, it does not require excavation, cable laying, and maintenance work across the field. This means less personnel and equipment are needed. Valves, sensors, irrigation, and fertilization systems can be monitored and controlled remotely. This reduces the need for physical presence in agricultural and greenhouse areas.

Wireless systems increase agricultural production efficiency while reducing operational costs, enabling farmers and producers to adopt more sustainable and smart farming methods.
