Project Case Study: Solar-Powered Wireless Flow Monitoring for Mountainous Irrigation Development

Off-Grid Flow Monitoring System Empowers Sustainable Mountain Farming in China

Client Challenge:

A high-standard agricultural development project in remote mountainous te rrain required accurate irrigation flow monitoring but faced critical constraints:

• Zero grid power availability at measurement points
• Rugged, inaccessible locations requiring wireless data transmission
• Need for real-time monitoring to optimize water distribution across terraced fields

Kaifeng Oasis Solution:

We engineered a fully autonomous measurement system integrating:

OMF Series Electromagnetic Flowmeters

Selected for ±0.5% accuracy with slurry/pesticide tolerance

Installed at 12 critical nodes across elevation gradients

Solar-Battery Power System: waterproof solar panels + lithium batteries

4G Cellular Data Transmission: Industrial-grade wireless RTUs 

Centralized Monitoring Platform: Real-time dashboards showing flow rates/totals and SMS alerts for low battery/flow abnormalities

Client Benefits:

• Cost Reduction: Eliminated grid extension costs
• Sustainability: Carbon-neutral operation aligns with green farming initiative
• Decision Support: Historical analytics improved reservoir scheduling
• Scalability: Modular design allows future sensor additions
