Field sensing
Soil and substrate moisture, temperature, humidity, water level and fertigation-water pH/EC are in the design scope; readings and sensor calibration remain under field testing.

The Sysmart Agro field controller
A custom enclosure concept for bringing field-sensing and irrigation-control electronics together. Sensor integration, connectivity and pump/valve operation continue through development and field validation.
Testing / field validationPrototype scope · not available to order
Controller and irrigation
The controller is being tested with pumps and valves; thresholds and local manual override remain under validation.
Connectivity
GSM and Wi-Fi are part of development; LoRa is still under evaluation.
Dashboard scope
Dashboard work covers readings, thresholds and pump status. Alerts and historical records are planned capabilities; a public mobile app and offline access remain on the roadmap.
Enclosure design reference
Approximately 200 × 220 × 90 mm as illustrated; final dimensions may change after prototype and field testing.
Designed capability scope
From crop conditions to irrigation decisions
The intended platform combines sensing, irrigation equipment and farm data. The features below describe the design scope; they should not be read as a claim that every function is already live.
Development status: Sensor readings and the controller are in field testing; pump/valve rules, connectivity and dashboard functions remain under validation or development. Alerts, historical records, multi-zone operation and solar integration are design capabilities. The public mobile app is not released and the system is not available for online purchase.
Field monitoring and fertigation
Designed to give operators a clearer view of root-zone conditions and the water delivered to crops.
- Soil and substrate moisture around crop roots
- Greenhouse temperature and relative humidity
- Fertigation-water pH and electrical conductivity (EC)
- Water-level and other key field readings
Irrigation and control
A controller concept for supervising irrigation equipment and applying configured operating rules.
- Monitor pumps, valves and irrigation activity
- Pump and solenoid-valve control under field validation
- Configured schedules and crop-specific thresholds
- Multi-zone irrigation planning and local manual override
Connected farm operations
The intended data layer helps teams review conditions, system activity and resource-use decisions.
- Remote monitoring through a connected dashboard
- Alerts for readings outside configured ranges
- Historical readings and system activity records
- GSM/Wi-Fi development; LoRa remains under evaluation
- Solar integration for suitable off-grid sites
- Farm data to inform irrigation and water-use decisions
Our goal
Practical smart farming for African conditions.
By combining sensing, automation, IoT connectivity and agricultural data, SYLUTION aims to help farms improve operational visibility, manage water and inputs more efficiently, and make better-informed decisions.
Designed for
Different farm and institutional settings, with final configurations scoped to site needs.
- Commercial greenhouses
- Irrigated and vegetable farms
- Hydroponic and soilless systems
- Agricultural research projects
- Smart-farm demonstrations
- Government agriculture programmes
- Agricultural companies and institutions
How it works
How the system is designed to work
The intended flow from a field reading to an irrigation decision. Several software and control layers remain under development or field validation.
Step 01
Sensors
Soil and substrate moisture, temperature, humidity and water-level readings are in field testing; pH/EC are in the fertigation-monitoring design scope.
Step 02
IoT controller
A solar-capable controller is being tested with sensor inputs, pumps and valves.
Step 03
Connectivity
GSM and Wi-Fi links are in development; LoRa remains under evaluation.
Step 04
Data collection
Timestamping and queuing readings for unreliable networks are being developed and validated.
Step 05
Cloud database
A cloud data layer is planned to organize records by farm and field block.
Step 06
AI analysis
Future analysis is intended to explore crop stress, water use and irrigation needs after field data is validated.
Step 07
Dashboard
Dashboard work covers readings, thresholds and pump status; no public mobile app is released.
Step 08
Smart decision
Automatic or approval-based irrigation decisions remain under development and field validation.
