Smart Tensiometer Technology
OSIRRIS develops a precision irrigation system with semi-autonomous operation, featuring automatic calibration and soil evaluation. Our smart tensiometers measure tension and calculate soil water content, plant stress, and local recommendations with unprecedented accuracy. The system combines advanced IoT sensors with machine learning algorithms to deliver intelligent irrigation management.
Smart Tensiometer
Features ±2% accuracy at multiple depths with automatic calibration for diverse soil types.
Our smart tensiometers measure tension and calculate soil water content, plant stress, and irrigation recommendations. It is powered by solar energy and connects to the IoT gateway through LoRaWAN.
LoRaWAN Connectivity
15km+ wireless range
Long-range, low-power wide-area network technology enables deep rural deployment without cellular coverage dependence. Integrated with edge computing for real-time decision making.
The OSIRRIS AI Model
The OSIRRIS AI model takes into account soil conditions, crop requirements, and local weather predictions. It is running directly on the edge controller and provides real-time, low-latency decision making for irrigation.
Machine Learning Engine
Our local Machine Learning models are continuouly re-trained on measured tension values and many other environmental parameters. The system learns from context data and continuously improves irrigation recommendations.
Edge Irrigation Controller
The intelligent controller calculates overall irrigation requirements and can perform automatic actuation on the water pumps. It supports multi-modal interactions including SMS notifications and mobile app control.
Pilot Sites
OSIRRIS is being tested and validated across multiple Mediterranean pilot sites to ensure real-world effectiveness and practical deployment. Our pilot program demonstrates the system's capability for semi-autonomous operation with high user acceptance and cost-effectiveness.
Citrus Trees
Active deployment site in Nabeul that is dedicated to the cultivation of citrus trees.
Apples
Active deployment site in Sbeitla that is dedicated to the cultivation of apples.
Wheat
Active deployment site in Cheffield that is dedicated to the cultivation of wheat.
Our Partners
OSIRRIS brings together leading research institutions, technology providers, and agricultural organizations committed to sustainable Mediterranean agriculture. Our collaborative approach combines expertise in IoT, machine learning, and agricultural science to deliver practical solutions for water-scarce regions.
