Remote monitoring of pivot irrigation process
What is Pivot monitoring system?
An IoT for agriculture pivot monitoring system is a comprehensive system that uses connected sensors, data analytics, and cloud computing to provide real-time, actionable insights into the state and performance of agricultural pivots. Through the system, farmers can get detailed statistics on the coverage area, irrigation rate and other metrics for their pivots.
The sensors can detect the position and speed of the pivot and relay the data to a central cloud-based platform, where it can be analyzed to provide information on the current state of the pivot. With this data, farmers can quickly identify and take corrective action to improve efficiency and productivity.
The system can also be used to monitor the water usage and pressure, as well as track the amount of water lost due to leaks or other issues. Through this system, farmers can minimize water waste, maximize their yields, and save time and money on repairs and maintenance.

Configuration
IoT reports all the pivot parameters while the pivot is moving - direction, speed, water pressure, alarms and current angle.
When it is not being used the IoT stops reporting any data.
