Smart Irrigation Automation in Industrial Agriculture and Greenhouses: A New Era of Efficiency and Savings
Industrial agricultural facilities and commercial greenhouses form the backbone of modern agriculture. However, water consumption, energy costs, and labor needs in these facilities are among the greatest challenges faced by producers. esular Smart Irrigation Automation offers a wireless, solar-powered, and fully automatic solution specially developed for industrial-scale agricultural enterprises and greenhouses.
Limitations of Traditional Irrigation Systems in Industrial Agriculture
In industrial agricultural facilities and large greenhouses spread over wide areas, traditional irrigation systems bring many challenges:
- High infrastructure cost: Pulling cables and establishing electrical infrastructure for all areas requires significant investment
- Non-homogeneous irrigation: While the water needs of different regions are not the same, uniform irrigation is performed
- Water waste: Irrigation is carried out according to fixed schedules, not according to plant needs
- Labor cost: Manual opening and closing of valves requires constant personnel
- Lack of data: Critical data such as soil moisture and weather conditions cannot be monitored instantly
- Uncontrolled fertilization: Fertilizer dosage and timing cannot be optimized
esular Smart Irrigation Automation: Fully Integrated Solution
esular has developed a three-layer automation ecosystem for industrial agriculture and greenhouse enterprises that operates with the philosophy of "Monitor – Learn – Manage":
1. Wireless Sensor Layer: Instant Data Collection
Wireless sensors placed at different points in your greenhouse or agricultural area measure critical parameters 24/7:
Soil Moisture Sensors (Smart-Soil Series)
- Capable of stepped measurement at 4 different depths (15-30-45-60 cm)
- Instantly measures soil moisture rate, temperature, and EC (electrical conductivity) values
- Offers up to 10 years of battery life
- Sends data up to a distance of 10 km with LoRa technology
- Provides precise moisture control in greenhouse pot soils
Climate Sensors
- Air temperature and humidity measurement (0-100% humidity, ±2% precision)
- Solar-powered operation, requires no electrical connection
- 5-year battery life
- Ideal for indoor greenhouse climate control
- Automatic alarm system (warning during limit exceedances)
2. Central Communication Station: Data Processing Center
Data from all sensors is collected via a central gateway that operates with solar panels and batteries:
- Centrally manages all sensors and valves within a 10 km radius
- Connects to the cloud server via GSM, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet
- Can run predefined scenarios even during internet outages
- Operates integrated with meteorology data
- Compatible with stepped fertilization systems
3. Smart Valve Control System: Automatic Irrigation
The most innovative side of esular is the valve control units that work completely wirelessly and with batteries:
- Wireless control in hydraulic valves: Valve opening/closing in 5 seconds
- 5-year battery life: Zero maintenance and energy costs
- Control from 5 km distance: Works problem-free in wide areas
- IP68 waterproof: Resistant to harsh outdoor conditions
- Special stations for 24V solenoid valves: Control between 2-12 valves
Special Solutions in Greenhouse Automation

Real Results: Data from Enterprises
Data from industrial agriculture and greenhouse enterprises using esular systems show clear results:
💧 Water Savings: 30-50%
Thanks to soil moisture sensors, irrigation is performed only as much as the plant needs. Excessive irrigation and water waste are eliminated.
⚡ Energy Savings: 40-60%
Unnecessary operation of pumps is prevented. Irrigation is programmed at optimum times.
📈 Yield Increase: 20-35%
Irrigating plants without stress and exactly when they need it provides a significant increase in yield.
👨🌾 Labor Savings: 70%
The need for personnel for manual valve opening/closing, control tours, and irrigation tracking is eliminated.
🌱 Fertilizer Optimization: 25-40%
Applying fertilizer in the correct dosage and at the right time reduces fertilizer costs.
Installation and Operation: Easy and Fast
One of the biggest advantages of esular is its ease of installation and operation:
- No need to pull cables: The entire system operates wirelessly, solar-powered, or with batteries
- Fast installation: A 100-decare area is included in the system in 2-3 days
- Compatible with existing infrastructure: Operates integrated with existing valves and pipes
- Scalable structure: Can be scaled from 10 decares to 10,000 decares
- User-friendly interface: Easy management with mobile application and web panel
- 24/7 technical support: The esular team is always with you
AI-Powered Decision Mechanism
The esular system does not just collect data, it also learns and makes decisions:
- Meteorology integration: Smart algorithm that postpones or cancels irrigation based on precipitation forecast
- Evapotranspiration calculation: Water need estimation based on plant type, age, and seasonal data
- Historical data analysis: Predicting future irrigation needs by looking at past data
- Regional differentiation: Separately evaluating the water needs of different regions in the same area
- Stress detection: Early detection of plant stress by analyzing sudden changes in soil moisture values
