Canal Automation Intelligence System

Precision Control Between Reservoir and Field.

Hexitronics Canal Automation Intelligence System forms the operational backbone of the Hydro-Agricultural Operating System (HAOS). It ensures optimized water distribution from dams to agricultural zones through real-time monitoring, automated control, and AI-assisted balancing.

Why Canal Intelligence Is Essential

• Uneven water distribution across regions
• Manual gate operation delays
• Water losses due to leakage and seepage
• Silt accumulation reducing flow efficiency
• Unauthorized water tapping
• Mismatch between supply and crop demand

Canal systems are the dynamic arteries of irrigation infrastructure. Without intelligent control, efficiency drops and disputes increase.

Deployment Model

Designed for scalable implementation across:

• Main canals
• Branch canals
• Distributaries
• Minor irrigation channels

Deployment supports phased upgrades — from advisory intelligence to semi-automated and fully automated gate control integration.

Position in the Hydro-Agricultural Operating System

Canal Automation Intelligence acts as the execution layer, connected to:

• Dam & Reservoir AI Release Optimization
• Groundwater Recharge Intelligence Network
• Precision Agriculture IoT Systems
• District Water Command Centers
• Autonomous Canal Inspection Robotics

This creates a closed-loop flow of intelligence — from reservoir release decisions to field-level water delivery.
