Agrónic 4500, the Key to Simplifying Digitalization in Agriculture

 

• Digital agriculture is constantly evolving, developing innovative and adaptive solutions that address the specific needs of farmers and the most demanding market demands.

• Agrónic 4500 stands out as the most comprehensive irrigation controller for agriculture to date, integrating all available features into a single system.

• Its high performance, exceptional versatility, and commitment to energy efficiency make it the key to simplifying digitalization in agriculture.

 

In recent years, agriculture has undergone an unprecedented transformation driven by advances in digitization. What has always been a sector closely associated with tradition, despite its continuous commitment to the implementation of tools and solutions, is now at the center of a technological revolution that is completely reshaping the way food is grown worldwide.

 

Far from what one might think, agricultural digitization is not limited simply to task automation or the use of sophisticated equipment; it goes much further. It involves the integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), advanced data analytics, or real-time connectivity, to optimize every aspect of the agricultural production process, from planting to harvesting.

 

One of the most significant advancements in agricultural digitization is the ability to collect and analyze data on a large scale. By using sensors installed in the field, farmers can monitor various agroclimatic variables, gathering a series of data that provide valuable information about the crop status and enable farmers to make informed and precise decisions about irrigation, fertilization, and pest and disease management.

 

Agrónic 4500, the technological forefront of Agriculture 4.0

 

In essence, digital agriculture is constantly evolving, developing innovative and adaptive solutions that address the specific needs of farmers and the demands of a global market. One of the most prominent examples of this advancement is the Agrónic 4500 by Progrés, which has established itself as a comprehensive and advanced solution to simplify digitization in agriculture, covering the most demanding market needs and the most complex installations.

 

 

The Agrónic 4500 is not just another irrigation controller, but a tool designed to meet the current production demands on farms of different types. Its ability to adapt to a wide variety of crops and irrigation systems makes it a versatile and reliable choice for farmers worldwide.

 

From solar-powered irrigation to hydroponic crop management, this controller offers advanced solutions that optimize the use of resources such as water, energy, and fertilizers, ensuring exceptional results in agricultural activities.

 

• Conventional and Precision Agriculture: The Agrónic 4500 is versatile and can control both conventional and precision agriculture systems, allowing its use in a wide range of agricultural operations.
• Pivot Irrigation: Its ability to manage pivot irrigation systems makes it a versatile solution for large-scale farms.
• Hydroponic Cultivation: This controller not only adapts to traditional methods but is also suitable for hydroponic crops and other advanced production methods.

One of the most prominent features of the Agrónic 4500 is its ability to control all components of the installation, from traditional irrigation systems to the automation of programming through determining factors. It becomes the operations center of an ecosystem composed of external modules, sensors of different types, and agroclimatic stations.

 

 

Furthermore, following Progrés tradition, the Agrónic 4500 is presented as a scalable solution, capable of adapting to the needs of each customer through the activation of different options. It has the capacity to control up to 400 irrigation sectors and 99 programs to adapt to various production scenarios. It features four different irrigation heads, each of which allows configuration of up to 8 types of fertilizers per head, managing up to 6 motors, and 3 groups of filters.

 

The wide range of sensors includes 400 volume meters or flow detectors, 120 analog sensors, 80 general counter sensors, 80 digital sensors, and 20 logical sensors. Additionally, it uses 120 conditions to establish customized and optimized operational rules, allowing specific adjustment of irrigation and nutrition for each crop.

 

The Agrónic 4500 is highly adaptable to different cultivation systems, such as hydroponic greenhouse cultivation. In this case, the controller has the capacity to control up to 8 misting systems. Additionally, it ensures effective management of up to 20 different drainage systems.

 

Furthermore, the controller has a clear focus on improving energy efficiency by integrating technologies such as solar fields and hybrid solar variable frequency drive, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution. The Agrónic 4500 also embraces Agriculture 4.0 technologies and applies precision agriculture techniques for real-time monitoring of the operation along with advanced data analysis for effective decision-making.

 

In this section, the Agrónic 4500 stands out for its versatility in connecting with a variety of modules such as Monocable, radio, AgroBee-L, external Modbus devices, or expansion modules. This makes it adaptable to multiple agricultural configurations, being the only controller that supports all types of external modules in Progrés' catalog.

 

Regarding remote control, it also allows remote management of the controller from different devices:
 

 

• From the browser, with  VEGGA, the comprehensive agronomic platform that perfectly adapts to any type of farm and crop, allowing the easy use of all tools from a single platform. With VEGGA, the complete integration of climate, soil, plant, and consumption sensors into the Agrónic system allows for the automation of irrigation scheduling through the Irridesk module developed by IRTA, automated activation of the frost protection system, or providing users with information on pest and disease risk (BASF's Agrigenio module).
   

  The VEGGA platform also includes the Irrigation Manager module, a specific tool for water and nutrition management, which allows both real-time control and future planning of water and fertilizer consumption, at both the sector and farm level.
   

• From the mobile device, with Agrónic APP 2.0, the application, initially available for Agrónic 4500 users, represents a significant advancement over its predecessor. Users can not only view and edit irrigation programs but also configure them, greatly improving interaction with the controller. In its latest version, it has been highly optimized in terms of usability and agility, with significant improvements in the history query menus and sensor graphs.

 

• From the PC, with Agrónic PC, the program for Windows operating system that allows for a comprehensive solution by connecting multiple devices simultaneously through a single platform, without the need for cloud upload.

 

 

All this software allows for the full utilization of the capabilities and functionalities of the new Agrónic 4500, implementing the most advanced irrigation and fertilization techniques. Thus ensuring maximum efficiency of resources, and achieving profitable and sustainable production over time.
