Revolutionizing Agriculture with AI: The Smart Irrigation Platform

4Paradigm UED's Innovative Solution for Precision Agriculture

4Paradigm UED drew inspiration from the strong government initiatives for rural revitalization and smart agriculture. The Smart Irrigation Agriculture Platform is a testament to the maturing of intelligent agricultural production platforms based on IoT, AI, and other emerging technologies. The goal is to unlock broader value in precision agriculture, where farming practices are based on precise science, economy of inputs, and the maximization of productivity and the quality of agricultural products.

The Smart Irrigation Agriculture Platform stands out for its innovative navigation controls. It creates an intermediate state between the two views of crops and equipment, allowing users to view both crop and equipment information for a global overview. The platform also provides a map of equipment for users to frame and select, minimizing the complexity of configuration operations.

At its core, the platform is a blend of AI and IoT technologies. It collects environmental factors, monitors crop status, and generates an intelligent irrigation program supported by an expert decision system. This helps achieve precise volume control for agricultural irrigation, reduce irrigation costs, and improve field management and services.

The project, which started on October 15, 2022, in Beijing and finished on November 09, 2022, faced several design challenges. The most significant was achieving digital mapping of the physical space. The environment, crop status, and equipment conditions are intuitively visualized in the digital space, which boosts user productivity and ability to coordinate with system level information.

The Smart Irrigation Agriculture Platform has been recognized for its innovation, earning the Silver A' Interface, Interaction and User Experience Design Award in 2023. This prestigious award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation.
