A self-monitoring and self-controlling smart irrigation system is provided. The smart irrigation system may include a plurality of tower control units, which tower control units include one or more processors, one or more memory units, and communication circuitry. The tower control units may be configured to determine one or more operational conditions of the smart irrigation system, to communicate to other tower control units the operational conditions, and to make adjustments based on the operational conditions. The tower control units may be configured for expedient and efficient replacement and maintenance in that they may be readily detachable from the smart irrigation system.

A system for proximity-based analysis for operational tracking includes one or more processors. The one or more processors receive event blocks, which include information associated with an operation. The one or more processors are further configured to generate a set of queue cycles based on the received event blocks. Each queue cycle includes at least a starting and ending event block. The one or more processors are further configured to perform a correlation analysis between the set of queue cycles and the set of evidence artifacts, where each artifact is compared to each queue cycle and assigned a correlation score for each artifact-queue cycle pair. The one or more processors are further configured to determine a representative queue cycle by identifying the queue cycle with the highest quality score, which will be stored in a database for subsequent retrieval along with the corresponding evidence artifact.

System and method for proximity-based analysis for operational tracking

A sensor system is described. The sensor system includes one or more sensor nodes. The sensor nodes are communicatively coupled to a server by way of a network. The sensor nodes may be communicatively coupled to the network by a cellular connection or a LoRa connection to a gateway. The sensor node may measure a variety of information associated with a transport environment, a confined animal feeding environment, or another agricultural environment.

Preventative failure for agricultural applications

Implementations directed to providing a computer-implemented method comprising receiving, from a motion sensing device, a plurality of image frames that includes information regarding a plurality of animals housed in a group-housed environment, determining a coordinate space of the group-housed environment based on an analysis of a first image frame of the image frames, generating, based on the analysis of the first image frame, an ellipsoid model for each animal based on defined surface points for each animal weighted according to a likely proximity to a crest of a spine of the respective animal, and tracking a position and an orientation of each animal within the image frames by enforcing shape consistency of the ellipsoid models, and adjusting the position of each of the ellipsoid models based on the defined surface points for each animal and a maximum likelihood formulation of a movement distance for each animal.
