Description
The irrigation facility located at the "Rabanales Experimental Farm" boasts unique features that make it especially suitable for testing or validating various agri-food products or services. It stands out in Europe for incorporating vision and artificial intelligence into its system for variable irrigation and input distribution. The field's irrigation installations or equipment comprise a pivot and a linear, forward-moving system. Both systems are controlled by remote sensors that measure soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity, as well as wind, precipitation, and radiation. This allows for the optimisation of irrigation schedules, ensuring the total utilisation of the applied water.
What could be offered through this facility?
This facility offers a highly advanced platform for the validation of AI services and robotics in the agrifood sector, particularly in the area of precision irrigation and resource management. These systems provide an unparalleled opportunity to validate AI solutions focused on optimising water and nutrient usage, as well as robotic applications for real-time crop monitoring and resource adjustment. The use of remote sensors to track soil moisture, temperature, and other environmental factors allows for thorough testing of AI models that aim to improve irrigation schedules, water conservation, and overall crop yield.
