Representative product-family images. The exact model, interfaces and enclosure are confirmed in the written quotation.
Need hardware recommendations for this problem?
Send the measured signals, alarm rules, site power and communication constraints. We will return a hardware configuration for quotation.
Problem to solve
Irrigation channels are distributed and often inspected manually. Remote data helps operators spot blocked sections, abnormal flow and gate changes.
Measurements that matter
- Canal level
- Flow trend or velocity
- Gate open/close status
- Solar battery and gateway status
Suggested hardware configuration
- Level or flow sensor
- LoRaWAN or 4G field node
- Solar power enclosure
- Gateway data export to platform
Typical Hardware Architecture
Final system design, software integration, PLC/SCADA programming and site installation are handled by the customer or their system integrator.

FAQ
What does SunGene need before quoting Irrigation Canal Flow Monitoring?
Please provide canal width and structure, monitoring point count, power autonomy target, network coverage and gateway location. These inputs determine the sensor, gateway, power and integration path.
Is this a software-only service?
No. SunGene supplies sensors, gateways, field connectivity hardware and documented data-handoff interfaces for the buyer or integrator. Software-platform configuration and operation are outside the standard hardware scope.
Can SunGene support custom configuration if needed?
Yes, after the hardware configuration, certificates, sample quantity and documentation scope are clear.
Which technologies are usually considered?
The typical shortlist includes Water level, Flow, LoRaWAN, Solar power. Final selection depends on site constraints and target country requirements.
