Crop Water Stress Instrument for Cannabis Growers

December 16, 2016 : Now available for Cannabis Growers from Cermetek Microelectronics a new agricultural tool called LeafMon. This new instrument, developed by the BioEngineering and Ag Deptartment of UC Davis, has been tested extensively by Almond, Walnut, and Grape growers to monitor plant stress. The relative health of the plant can now be monitored remotely on-line by the cannabis grower using the LeafMon-AquaMon system.

This new Agricultural Tool enables the grower to maximize yield and/or quality by controlling the plants water stress level. By monitoring the crop water stress index of the plant, irrigation, fertigation, and for indoor growers, light levels can be precisely controlled to achieve the desired level of plant stress. 

This instrument has been employed for field research in orchards throughout California for the past few years. It is now being made available commercially by Cermetek for cannabis growers and researchers.

Local Farmer

Small Farms Use New Precision Irrigation Technology to Save Water & Costs!


Local Farmer Testimonial

March 14, 2014 : The Ty Bellach farm in Madera County California recently installed new automation technology to enable precision irrigation monitoring and control of his vineyards. He grows grapes for raisin production on 25 acres.

Ty recently installed an AquaMon integrated monitoring and control system from Cermetek Microelectronics to aid in controlling water consumption. Water usage affects the bud break and AquaMon helps Ty Bellach Farm set levels of saturation that are best for ideal stress levels on the plants, says Ty Bellach. He indicated he is already saving water by not over irrigating. Before the AquaMon system was installed he would leave the water flowing an entire weekend without knowing how saturated the ground had become. Now he can precisely monitor moisture levels on the Cermetek RSVP web site from anywhere at any time. Ty estimated that he is using half the water he previously used. He also expects to see a significant savings in his electric power bills from the reduction in pumping.

Ty also achieved additional cost savings by participating in the United States Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service Environmental Quality Incentives Program EQIP. This program will reimburse Ty Bellach Farm over 30% of the cost of the AquaMon Systems. The NRCS office in Madera reports that a number of farmers in the Madera area are taking advantage of the EQIP program. The AquaMon system was installed at Ty Bellach Farms by local technician James Rosel of Western Ag and Turf Inc. Western AG and Turf supplies and installs irrigation systems for growers throughout the Central Valley of California. Most growers prefer the convenience of local dealers for automation systems such as AquaMon for the long term support and local customer service installers like Western Ag and Turf provide.

The AquaMon system installed at Ty Bellach Farm reports soil moisture data on a 24/7 basis to a personal, secure internet account that Ty Bellach can access any time (just like accessing his bank account) using his smart phone or other computing device equipped with a web browser. Ty emphasizes the convenience and time savings AquaMon provides by eliminating the need to travel to the fields to discern their status. Ty can retrieve his data from the cloud without the need to download any special app or program onto his smartphone or computer.

Recent years have seen the growing use of cloud based automation by large farms at great expense. The case of the Ty Bellach Farm shows that a relatively small acreage farm can effectively utilize this technology and is evidence that new lower cost and easy to use systems such as AquaMon by Cermetek can assist small and medium sized farms in reducing costs and improving yield.

CERMETEK INTRODUCES CDMA OPTION FOR MOVING SENSOR DATA TO THE CLOUD

The CDMA option Increases Choice of Cellular Providers

May 10, 2013 : Today Cermetek announced another option for moving sensor data to the cloud. A CDMA cellular radio is now available for AquaMon™ and CH2178, iController™. AquaMon is web-based information system for agricultural systems. AquaMon previously connected to the Internet only through a GSM modem. The CH2178 offers simpler web-based remote monitoring and control with Ethernet, Wifi, GSM and now CDMA communications options. The CDMA option gives Cermetek AquaMon and CH2178 customers access to Verizon and other CDMA service providers.

AquaMon systems manage Precision Agriculture for vineyards, orchards, or farms. Small growers use a single node system to access weather and soil conditions. A GSM or CDMA modem moves sensor data to our web-based, RSVP software. Large growers utilize multiple wireless sensor nodes linked to a network hub over a short haul wireless network. The network hub connects to the Internet over a GSM or now CDMA network. The Cermetek RSVP software running on the web server processes, stores, and analyzes the sensor data from the field permitting the Grower to monitor field parameters and control pumps and valves from his tablet, smart phone, or PC.

The CH2178 also collects sensor data and moves it to our secure web server via an Ethernet, Wifi, GSM or now CDMA link. The RSVP software resident on the server archives the sensor data for viewing at anytime from anywhere with any browser equipped mobile or computing device. RSVP can also compare sensor data to limits set by the user. When those limits are reached, the user may program RSVP to issue an Email or Text Alert or initiate corrective action by activating a CH2178 control output.

"The cellular link between to the web server is critical in these applications," said Cermetek President Henry Roskos. "Unfortunately, service providers don’t provide uniform coverage, particularly to rural areas. We can’t improve cellular service but we can give our customers a choice so they receive the best service for their area."

The CDMA option is available now. Installed systems may be returned for a factory upgrade to CDMA.

CERMETEK DEMONSTRATES SMART IRRIGATION TECHNOLOGY

Irrigation Show exhibit shows how Cermetek enables Precision Agriculture

November 6, 2011 : Cermetek Microelectronics exhibits our AquaMon system at this week’s Sensor Show sponsored by the Irrigation Association in San Diego, California. Our booth in Pavilion B includes a demonstration of how our AquaMon system simplifies precision agriculture. Precision Agriculture requires continual monitoring of conditions and application water or amendments as conditions warrant. The simple demonstration shows how AquaMon supports the requirements of Precision Agriculture while being easy and convenient to use.

The AquaMon system automatically retrieves sensor data over a wireless sensor network. The sensor network moves data to a secure web server where our RSVP software stores, displays and processes the sensor data. RSVP displays the sensor data on any browser equipped mobile or computing device. RSVP can issue alarms when user set data limits are User set limits allow RSVP to issue Email and Text alarms when dangerous conditions occur. RSVP also offers the capability to control Equipment in the field with soft buttons on the display or in response to alarm conditions.

Because all system configuration is accomplished through the web interface of the RSVP software, The system can be monitored, configured and controlled from any location with internet access via any browser equipped, Smart Phone, tablet, PC or Notebook. The 24/7 availability of real-time sensor data allows the grower to analyze conditions and determine what actions are required before he steps into the field.

AquaMon Wireless Sensor Node

Rogers Brothers Farm protected by AquaMon Wireless Sensor Network

AquaMon alerts Almond growers to impending flood.

June 30, 2011 : The Rogers Brothers Farm sits at the end of an irrigation canal in California’s San Joaquin Valley. If farmers upstream take less than their allotted water, the canal overflows causing a break in canal walls and flooding the Rogers Brothers almond orchard.

AquaMon was installed at the Rogers Brothers farm to monitor the canal. Level sensors connected to a wireless sensor node constantly report the water level of the canal. If the water level reaches a preprogrammed, dangerous level, the RSVP software sends an Email Alarm to the Rogers Brothers. The alarm can be received with any Email enabled computing or mobile device. Once the alarm is received, a worker is sent to the farm and activates the pump to divert the water.

The water level sensors also alert the Rogers Brothers to low water conditions allowing the pumps to be disabled if the water level is too low. This protects the pumps from damage.

Tom Rogers said “my AquaMon monitor system paid for itself the day after it was installed.” It turns out that the Rogers Almond Crop was saved the day after the AquaMon system was installed because the upstream canal lock was shut resulting in an impending over-spilling of Rogers’ water system. The AquaMon alarm system alerted Rogers to a hig water condition. This enabled them to prevent a canal break. The canal was saved and this enabled Rogers to continue irrigation as scheduled without damage to the crop.

AquaMon is ideal for the Rogers Brothers because the RSVP software does not require installation of any special software or smart phone App. It operates entirely on a secure server and is fully accessible from any browser on any mobile or computing device.

AquaMon Installed for Pump Control

AquaMOn enables control of Orchard irrigation pumps

June 17, 2011 : Pumps are incorporated in most every irrigation system. They move water from where it is stored, well, pond, canal or cistern, to the fields, orchards and vineyards where it is needed. Tying the pump controls into the AquaMon sensor network permits those pumps to be controlled remotely from any browser equipped mobile or computing device. Remote control of the pump control eliminates the need for the grower to go to the pump location to turn the Pump on or off. Additional sensors also permit pump performance to be monitored 24/7. In Madeira, California an AquaMon system was installed in Almond orchard to allow remote control of pump operations. An AquaMOn sensor node was installed at the pump site. The control output from the sensor node was connected to a solenoid to turn the pump on and off. Pressure sensors were mounted on both of sides of the sand filters to confirm pump activation and to identify when the sand filters needed to be cleaned. The sensor data is delivered to the Cermetek secure web server over a cellular modem link. Pump on and off commands are sent from the server to the sensor node as Text messages. Monitoring the sensor data and controlling pump operations takes place using the RSVP software running on the web server. The sensor node uploads sensor data to the web server where the RSVP web software stores, displays and analyzes the sensor data. Data can be displayed as a chart or a table. Historical as well as current data may be viewed. RSVP compares the incoming data to limits preset by the grower allowing alerts to be issued by Email or Text if parameters are outside the acceptable range. A “soft” button on the RSVP display provides on/off control of the irrigation pump. When the pump is off, the switch is red. When the switch is activated it immediately turns yellow to show that the user input has been accepted. The switch turns green only after the remote sensor node acknowledges that the command to activate the pump has been received. Further confirmation of pump activation can be found in the pressure sensor readings from the remote sensor node.

CERMETEK DEMONSTRATES AQUAMON AT THE 2011 WORLD AG EXPO

Demonstration shows how Cermetek enables Precision Agriculture

February 8, 2011 : Cermetek Microelectronics made our second annual appearance at the World Ag Expo this week in Tulare, California.

Systems Under Test

CERMETEK ADAPTS WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK TO MONITOR UNITS-UNDER-TEST

Critical Test Parameters Monitored via Cermetek Wireless Sensor Network

October 29, 2010 : Cermetek Microelectronics has successfully adapted our remote sensor monitoring capability to monitor systems under test.

Sensors connected to each system in the final test phase of the assembly or refurbishing process monitor critical parameters and allow a single operator to monitor the performance of more than a dozen units-under-test.

Systems Under Test A wireless sensor node monitors each unit-under-test. Sensors connect to the unit-under-test to monitor Critical parameters including temperature and power consumption. The wireless sensor nodes transmit the sensor data to the network hub at frequent intervals throughout the two hour test cycle. The network hub moves the sensor data to the RSVP (Remote Sensor Viewing Platform) software for storage, display, and processing.

RSVP simultaneously displays the received sensor data for up to 12 units-under-test. This allows a single technician to oversee the entire test floor. The RSVP software includes the facility to permit the customer to set limits on the parameters being monitored. These limits define system hard failures. When RSVP detects a hard failure, it flashes the sensor display for the affected unit to signal the technician to immediately take that system off-line.

This monitoring system also fives the technician the information to identify systems showing signs of weak components which have not yet reached a hard failure. As an example, power consumption may continue to increase throughout the test period while never reaching the level of a hard failure. The technician observing this trend can pull the unit to determine the weak component of the system and avoid shipping a system which will likely fail in the upcoming weeks or months.

The Cermetek RSVP software and wireless sensor network have provided the system manufacturer with immediate benefits. The ability to immediately identify hard-failures and remove them from the test floor increases the number of systems that can be processed by the test unit. The ability to identify systems which may fail in the near future reduces the number of service calls.

CERMETEK PREVIEWS WIRELESS SOIL MONITOR AT WORLD AG EXPO

AquaMon Wireless Soil Monitoring Promises High Crop Yields with Less Water

February 19, 2010 : Milpitas, CA, February 19, 2010 - Cermetek Microelectronics presented a preview of its AquaMon wireless soil monitoring system at the World Ag Expo in Tulare, California February 9th through February 11th. The preview provided a live demonstration of AquaMon capabilities including transmission of real-time sensor data.

AquaMon allows active monitoring of the soil. Knowledge of soil conditions is essential to achieve high crop yield with less water. Maintaining the optimal level of moisture in the ground permits crops to flourish. Doing so with the minimum amount of water requires real-time data on soil conditions. An AquaMon sensor node can support up to six sensors of any variety including soil moisture content, soil temperature, air temperature, humidity, pH sensors, and nitrate sensors. In addition to monitoring soil conditions digitally controlled outputs can activate external equipment such as flow valves or nutrient injection equipment. Much as electronic fuel injection permits automobile engines to increase power while reducing fuel consumption and emissions; real-time soil monitoring allows water conservation without impacting crop yield.

The data generated by AquaMon can be viewed in two ways, locally or on-line. Cermetek created Remote Sensor Viewing Platform (RSVP) software to allow the irrigation decision maker to load the field data on his computer and easily view the data patterns. The data can also be uploaded onto our server and be viewed in the same format using a standard browser. Storing the data on-line allows the data to be viewed from anywhere with Internet access and even allows multiple authorized users to view the same data.

"Cermetek brought AquaMon to the World Ag Expo to demonstrate the capabilities of our wireless soil monitoring network," said Cermetek President and Chief Technical Officer Henry Roskos. "Cermetek has been developing communications technologies including those used in AquaMon for the last forty years, but we needed to introduce ourselves and our capability to growers, irrigation dealers and the rest of the agricultural industry. The World Ag Expo was the right place to do that."

AquaMon Node in the Field
The World AG Expo in Tulare California is the world?s largest annual agricultural exhibition. Growers and vendors from around the world gather to see the latest innovations in agricultural technology.
AquaMon is expected to be available this spring. The cost of a single sensor node is expected to start at $300 plus the cost of the sensors. Cermetek is actively recruiting Irrigation dealers to resell the AquaMon product line.

AquaMon product information can be reached on-line at www.cermetekrsvp.com.
