Development of a sensor-controlled nozzle for irrigation with Gießwagen
Conventional Gießwagen (GW) with uncontrolled nozzles are widely used in the outdoor cultivation of ornamental plants and are used for watering and fertilizing potted plants. Due to the continuous, uncontrolled watering during the Gießwagen journey, a lot of water is lost during irrigation due to the loose arrangement of the plant pots on the area covered. This wastes resources and endangers groundwater quality. The project is therefore developing a smart sensor-based watering cart nozzle that automatically detects the position of the plants and controls an integrated magnetic valve so that water and any additives it contains reach the plant pot with exactly the right dosage. Existing watering wagons can be modernized cost-effectively in order to reduce plant production costs and contribute to environmental protection. The smart watering carriage nozzle is an integrated system consisting of optical distance sensors, a controlled valve and an intelligent evaluation unit. The watering carriage is also equipped with position sensors. All data is made available to the horticulturist in real time in a web dashboard.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
