A choke valve is coupled to a Christmas tree on a wellhead. A smart module is coupled to the choke valve. A hydraulic control is coupled to the smart module and the choke valve. The hydraulic control unit hydraulically actuates the choke valve. A first sensor is attached upstream of the choke valve and a second sensor is attached downstream of the choke valve. The first sensor measures an upstream pressure and the second sensor measures a downstream pressure. A controller is coupled to the smart module and the hydraulic control unit. The smart module receives the upstream pressure, the downstream pressure, and well data to generate commands to adjust a choke size of the choke valve corresponding with a required production rate of a well. The controller manages a transmission of hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic control unit to actuate the choke valve based on the generated commands.
