Flagship project
Sysmart Agro
An intelligent IoT powered smart agriculture platform developed by SYLUTION to improve productivity through connected technologies, smart monitoring and intelligent decision support.

Project overview
One box between the farmer and the field
Sysmart Agro reads what is happening in the soil and the air, decides whether water is needed, switches the pump and reports everything back to a dashboard. The system runs the full monitoring and control loop today on our field sites.
- Give farmers accurate soil and climate data instead of guesswork.
- Automate irrigation so water and fuel are used only when required.
- Keep working where mobile coverage and grid power are unreliable.
- Stay affordable enough for smallholder and medium scale farms.
- Provide a data record that banks and programmes can verify.
Technologies used
System architecture
Every layer of Sysmart Agro is engineered in house, from the board to the dashboard.
Embedded controller
Custom board around an ESP32 class microcontroller with local control logic.
Soil and climate sensing
Soil moisture, temperature and humidity inputs read on a fixed interval.
Connectivity
GSM and Wi-Fi uplink, with LoRa under evaluation for wider field coverage.
Power
Solar and battery operation designed for sites without stable grid supply.
Dashboard
Web dashboard for readings, thresholds and pump status.
Control
Relay driven pump and valve switching, manual override on the device.
How it works
From sensors to smart decisions
The Sysmart Agro operational flow, from a reading in the soil to an irrigation decision on the farm.
Sensors
Soil moisture, temperature, humidity and water level sensing in the field.
IoT controller
A solar capable controller reads the sensors and drives pumps and valves.
Connectivity
GSM and wireless links move readings out of the farm.
Data collection
Readings are timestamped and queued, including when the network drops.
Cloud database
Field data is stored as a continuous record per farm and per block.
AI analysis
Models study the readings to flag stress, waste and irrigation needs.
Dashboard
The farmer and our team see live status, history and alerts.
Smart decision
Irrigation and control actions run automatically or on approval.
Development timeline
Where the project stands today
We publish the real state of each phase. Nothing here is marked complete before it is.
Concept
CompletedProblem definition with farmers around Kano and requirement gathering.
Circuit design
CompletedSchematic, component selection and bench validation.
Engineering build
CompletedEnclosure, controller board, display and sensor integration.
Field testing
In progressInstallation on test plots, endurance and reliability observation.
Pilot deployment
PlannedSmall group of farms running the full monitoring and control loop.
Commercial release
PlannedProduction units, support and documentation.
Future roadmap
What comes next
- Longer range LoRa gateway option for clustered farms
- Mobile application with offline access to readings
- Multi zone irrigation scheduling
- Predictive advice from accumulated field data
- Local manufacturing and assembly of production units
