Inagros provides a technological tool aiming to bridge the gap between farmers and modern technology. The final goal of our enterprise includes the optimization of crop productivity, as well as the reduction in water fertilizer and energy consumption. This way we can improve the farmers’ quality of life and increase their annual profit. Agronomists are included in our plan; the consist the mastermind that will allow the farmer achieve the aforementioned goals.
The core of our integrated system is a device, which is installed in the agricultural areas of interest. High tech sensors are encapsulated into the device, generating the necessary data associated with various field characteristics (temperature, humidity etc). The data obtained are then transferred to our web platform, providing access to the farmer and agronomist alike. The platform tools implemented provide a variety of services, such as the detailed inspection of the field, a calendar where all actions are registered and the automation of irrigation system. Additionally, the setup of extreme condition limits for each crop types is possible. This serves as an alert limit that informs the farmers of the immediate actions that need to be taken, in order to avoid potential negative consequences for crop productivity.
