Water Control System for Al Nakheel Tree Using Fuzzy Logic with Trend Analysis

Abstract

The proposed water control system for Al Nakheel Tree is a multifaceted implementation model that combines the Fuzzy Logic Technique, Internet of Things (IoT), and Cloud Technologies. The NodeMCU microcontroller collects data from the temperature, and soil moisture sensors, and then performs Fuzzy Logic to determine the right amount of water the motor pump should supply to the palm trees. The ages of the palm trees are also used to determine the frequency of the watering process. These data, including the status of the system, are stored in a cloud database. Using the mobile application which was securely paired to the microcontroller helps the farmer to monitor the status and control the system. The system switches from Fuzzy Logic operation to trend analysis using the moving averaging method when one of the sensors fails.
