Eeki Foods — Automated Farming System

Founded: 2018

Technology: IoT, Data analytics

Industry: Agritech

Eeki Foods uses advanced automation technologies to optimize indoor farming. Their system solves challenges such as inefficient water usage, labor-intensive farming, and inconsistent crop yield. The automated farming process ensures controlled environments for growing crops, making agriculture more efficient and sustainable.

How it works:

• Ambient sensor: these sensors measure temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels within the farm to fine-tune the ambient conditions for optimized plant growth.
• 5 probe temperature sensor: capable of simultaneously measuring temperatures at 5 different points, this sensor empowers comparative analysis at farm for making decisions.
• Water level sensor: these intelligent sensors measure water level of irrigation tank at regular intervals to eliminate the chances of overflow, contributing to save over 90% of water.
• Water EC & pH sensor: these sensors gather precise data on the EC and pH values of the nutrient-rich water, enabling to maintain optimal levels for enhanced nutrient absorption in plants.
• Lux sensor: the lux sensor accurately measures sunlight intensity to detect light imbalances in the farm.
• Controller: controllers operate farm devices, like exhausts, irrigation motors, circulation fans, and cooling pads, to optimise the farm’s environment. They can also be operated remotely and programmed with parameters, ensuring seamless functionality even offline.

• Facilitating data-driven device operations
• Analysing farm operations for optimization (e.g. allows to save 80-90% of water for irrigation)
• Data Interpretation and Visualisation
