Quote this solutionHow it's built
- 1
Survey and design
Measure terrain, wind, water and power; choose span and height; draw irrigation zones.
- 2
Levelling and footings
Level the ground with 0.5–1% drainage slope; pour column footings per drawing.
- 3
Raise frame, stretch netting
Fit columns, trusses and bracing; stretch 50-mesh net with wiggle wire; fit the double door.
- 4
Irrigation and misting
Lay main and zone lines; install solenoid valves and nozzles; pressure-test.
- 5
Install IoT
Mount the gateway high, place soil probes in representative root zones, set the climate station at canopy height, wire the cabinet.
- 6
Configure and commission
Register devices, draw plots in NG Farm, set thresholds; run 7 days alongside manual irrigation.
Rollout plan
- Week 1–2
Survey, final quote
Sign an NDA if needed, survey on site, finalise design.
- Week 3–6
Build structure
Footings, frame, netting, irrigation.
- Week 7
Install and configure IoT
Devices, software, automation rules.
- Week 8
Training and handover
Operator training, acceptance against evaluation criteria.
Evaluation and acceptance
Criteria are written into the contract and measured with real data in NG Farm.
| Metric | Target |
|---|---|
| Water vs. control plot | ≥ 20% less |
| Grade-A share | ≥ 85% |
| Share of log events recorded automatically | ≥ 70% |
| Devices online | ≥ 98% of the time |
FAQ
How is a net house different from a greenhouse?
A net house only uses insect netting – airy, cheaper, ideal for greens. A greenhouse uses PE film against rain with better climate control – for melons and tomatoes.
Does irrigation work without internet?
Yes. The gateway runs rules locally and buffers data, syncing when the connection returns.
