Irrigation Energy Savings in North Cape

# Irrigation Energy Savings in North Cape ## Challenge A large-scale farming operation in the North Cape was facing escalating energy costs due to inefficient irrigation practices. Traditional time-based irrigation schedules were leading to over-watering and excessive pump runtime during peak tariff periods. ## Solution AkiliFlux implemented a comprehensive smart irrigation system featuring: - Soil moisture sensors across multiple fields - Weather forecast integration - Tariff-aware scheduling algorithms - Real-time pump control and monitoring ## Implementation The project was rolled out in three phases: 1. **Sensor Installation**: Deployed moisture sensors across 500 hectares 2. **System Integration**: Connected sensors to central monitoring platform 3. **Algorithm Optimization**: Fine-tuned irrigation schedules based on crop requirements ## Results After 12 months of operation, the farm achieved remarkable improvements in both efficiency and cost savings.
