Problem Addressed
Farmers struggle with managing irrigation motors, requiring frequent visits for various contingencies. Despite using multiple gadgets and controllers, the need for constant monitoring persists. Additionally, each controller consumes energy, adding to the burden.
Technology
The NIRATI ROBO innovation enables automatic motor ON-OFF based on farmer requirements, using air and water without any energy consumption. In farms, NIRATI ROBO can be installed near borewells to fill ponds automatically when they dry, providing an unattended water supply for animals year-round. Industries can leverage this device to save energy, and poultry and dairy farms can benefit by adopting it for efficient water management.
Societal Impact
The NIRATI ROBO system automates motor operation using air and water conditions, enhancing water and energy management. It conserves resources, reduces costs, and promotes sustainability by minimizing water and energy wastage. This efficiency supports agricultural productivity and benefits water-scarce regions.
Current status
Few units of NIRATI ROBO have been made and demonstrated for all the aforesaid applications. The successful performance brought smiles to the beneficiaries.
