Agri-Guard

Smart Monitoring & Automation for the Future of Farming

The Challenge of Modern Agriculture

Traditional farming relies on reactive measures, leading to significant losses and resource inefficiency. Farmers often face problems only after the damage has started.

20-40%

Global Crop Yield Loss Annually due to pests and diseases.

70%

Of global freshwater is used for agriculture, much of it inefficiently.

#1

Challenge is moving from reactive to proactive, data-driven decisions.

The Agri-Guard Solution

Agri-Guard shifts the paradigm from reaction to prevention. It's a self-contained IoT system that provides continuous environmental monitoring, intelligent risk assessment, and automated irrigation, all accessible through a user-friendly interface.

By combining real-time data with automated actions, Agri-Guard empowers farmers to optimize resource use, reduce crop loss, and increase overall efficiency.

4. Interact

Users monitor data and control the system via the local OLED display or the interactive web interface.

Proactive Risk Assessment

Intelligent Environmental Analysis

Agri-Guard doesn't just show data; it interprets it. The system analyzes multiple factors simultaneously to calculate a real-time risk level for common agricultural threats.

  • Fungal Risk: High humidity + rain triggers alerts.
  • Pest Risk: High temperatures + low humidity create warnings.
  • Water Stress: Monitors for dehydration and waterlogging.
  • Temperature Stress: Alerts for extreme heat or cold.
