  1. Since 1984 Role of M2M Technology To Feed the World MicroChip to Potato Chipwww.irz.com541-567-0252fred@irz.com Wireless Engineering and Installation for WLAN, PTP, PTM, DAS, M2M

  2. 2 Earth Dilemma ! • Our population is growing by >100 million/year • By the 2050 we will have 9 billion people • To feed this many people you need 2 earth 1 bil= 1804 2 bil = 1927 3 bil = 1960 4 bil = 1974 5 bil = 1987 6 bil = 1999 7 bil = 2011 : 9 bil = 2050

  3. Technology Market Demands Water Use Efficiency Biofuels Global Population Growth Food Requirements Environmental Improvement Maximizing the Planet’s Resources Through Technology

  4. Internet Based Sensor Technologies: Key to high productivity and feeding the world • Sensors of all kinds are rapidly being developed: • Flow, pressure, energy ,weather, moisture, fertility, nutrients, plants, biological sensors, chemical sensors, video, GPS, food safety, disease, pathogen, identification, RFID, barcoding, tagging wastewater, odor, asset tracking, ,,,, • Challenges: • All sensor data to be transmitted in real-time • Rural areas lack higher speed data • Technology sectors lacks vision/direction in Agriculture

  5. Water Issue and Challenges: New Oil • Increased irrigation demand due to growing global population. • Most regions of the world have drastic shortages of irrigation water. • Modern crop production requires engineered irrigation system and water efficiency technologies • New water conservation technologies can improve crop production, and profitability, reduce costs.

  6. New Trends : water management and profitability • Trends toward more larger Global farms • More Integrated and market driven farms • Well engineered irrigation systems • Fully incorporate sustainability as a profit center • More crop diversifications • More relying on technologies to produce highest yield

  7. High Yielding -Large scale FarmingColumbia River Basin Eastern Oregon Columbia River IRZ Office

  8. Overview ofon-farm M2M technologies Maximizing the Planet’s Resources Through Technology

  9. Design: Very Large Pump Station Remote monitoring &control 14 x1 MW pumping station (18000 Horsepower) with flow rate of 30000 m3/hour (132000 gpm) Electrical Panels, Variable Frequency Drive

  10. Autonomous Tractors and farm equipment and sensors

  11. Variable Rate Irrigation / fertility and GPS

  12. FieldNET: Remote Irrigation Management

  13. FieldNETCenter Pivot Irrigation Control • Centralized management of global operations (crop, irrigation, energy, fertility) • Full irrigation control and record keeping

  14. Global Real-Time, Soil Moisture and Crop Monitoring10 US states, Brazil, China, Africa = maximize yield , save water & energy SatelliteAntenna Satellite Antenna Solar Power Moisture Sensors >1 meter depth >5 Moisture sensors >reading every 30 minutes Moisture sensor

  15. IRZ Integrated Water Management Services • Using real-time Soil Moisture sensors (transmit every 30 minutes), real-time Weather Stations, Crop Modeling (ET) Soil, and Wireless Technologies to maximize efficiency and Profitability ($) • 3000 sensors over 100,000 HA. Satellite Antenna • Water Savings: 10%-15% • Energy Savings:10%-20% • Saves Fertilizers/ Increase yield • Saved 10 Billion Gallons Water/Year • Saved 35 Million Kwh Energy/Year Moisture sensor

  16. IRZ Aerial Infrared Service Nozzle Problem

  17. WIRELESS Broadbandfor SmartFarm • ezWireless engineers a multi-purpose Broadband Wireless Cloud for farms with 100’s times the capacity of “radio” or cellular • Wireless Network is Private, secure and standards-based. • Internet anywhere on the farm, compatible with center pivots, pumps, weather stations, video for security, asset tracking and any Internet connected sensors and device.

  18. ezWireless “SmartFarm”Wireless Internet in the Farm, Alabama, USA • Monitoring & Controls irrigation/pumps and sensors • Asset Tracking • Data Base Access (chemical/fertilizers ) • Workflow Management • Internet Content • Video Imaging • Voice Over IP • Remote Diagnosis Wireless Internet Pivot Wireless Internet Cloud Wireless Internet Pumps
