Remote Performance Reporting
Installation Remote Performance Reporting System
Project Overview
Agrifity implemented a Remote Performance Reporting and Smart Irrigation Monitoring System for a large-scale tea and flower production estate operating in the Kericho region of Kenya.
The objective of the project was to improve irrigation visibility across multiple zones, reduce water inefficiencies, and provide centralized performance analytics for agronomy and engineering teams.
The estate operates under high irrigation demand conditions, requiring continuous pump operation, multiple boreholes, elevated storage tanks, and distributed drip/sprinkler systems across expansive acreage.
Scope of Work
Agrifity deployed a fully integrated IoT-based irrigation intelligence system consisting of:
• Multi-zone soil moisture monitoring sensors
• Flow and pressure monitoring units on main irrigation lines
• Borehole water level sensors
• Pump runtime and energy monitoring
• Centralized cloud-based dashboard
• Mobile-access performance reporting system
• Automated alert system for pressure drops and leak detection
The system was configured to provide:
✔ Real-time irrigation performance metrics
✔ Daily and monthly water usage reports
✔ Pump efficiency tracking
✔ Zone-based irrigation comparisons
✔ Early leak detection alerts
✔ Predictive maintenance notifications
Results & Impact
After implementation:
• Water usage reduced by 28% across monitored zones
• Pump runtime reduced by 19%
• Leak detection response time improved from weeks to minutes
• Improved crop uniformity due to balanced irrigation
• Real-time performance transparency across departments
Remote performance reporting enabled management to make data-driven decisions instead of relying on manual inspections and delayed field reports.
