Monitoring and optimization of a 3000 hectare sustainable farm in Germany using solar-powered IoT technology
The agro-livestock farm SeydaLand near Jessen (Germany), s an example of modern and environmentally friendly agriculture. Since its establishment in 2000, this farm has been committed to innovation and sustainability, creating high added value for the region and contributing to the local economy, in particular by preserving jobs in rural areas.
To further promote sustainability and cost-effectiveness, Seydaland has implemented state-of-the-art technological solutions such as those from SPHERAG, enabling better monitoring of irrigation and laying the foundation for the necessary optimization.
SeydaLand, a benchmark in digitized sustainable agriculture in Germany
By installing 41 Spherag Atlas IoT devices, the irrigation manager can monitor all pivot irrigation systems in real time. This intelligent infrastructure provides real-time data on water consumption and demand, enabling optimal water management.
Thanks to this technology, Seydaland has succeeded in reducing water consumption and irrigation costs and conserving water resources without the need for construction work or major investments. SPHERAG’s solution makes the existing system smarter and transforms it into an efficient and sustainable system that helps the farm save resources and strengthen its responsible agricultural model.
Challenges addressed:
- Precise optimization of the 40 irrigation systems
- Significant reduction in water and energy consumption
- Collection of accurate real-time data for decision-making
- Preservation of natural water reserves for the future
The Seydaland project is an important step toward more sustainable and efficient agriculture in Germany. Thanks to SPHERAG’s IoT technology, the farm has been able to optimize its circular irrigation, reduce water consumption, and minimize its environmental impact. This makes it an inspiring role model for other farms committed to the future of our planet.
