Background
Bioji Farms is an 18-acre medicinal hemp production project, growing hemp for CBD oil extraction for pharmaceutical export. Ensuring high-quality CBD isolate requires giving plants balanced nutrients in precise dosages, with nutrient strength varying between day and night to enhance quality.
Issue
- High manpower cost - additional agronomist to adjust EC, pH and irrigation schedule for night cycle.
- Risk of lower quality CBD due to human oversight/error in managing EC and pH parameters.
Solution
We introduced an IoT and AI system to control EC, pH and manage irrigation, featuring:
- Different EC and pH configuration for day-time and night-time scheduling.
- Separate collection and treatment of nutrient runoff before recirculation.
- Easy, on-screen calibration for EC and pH sensors.
- Patented sensors that do not require monthly calibration.
- Alerts for EC and pH threshold breaches.
- Failsafe to continue irrigation without dosing in case of sensor malfunction.
- AI to optimize dosing and irrigation schedule in case of power outages.
- Remote monitoring and management of EC and pH via IoT.
