PulseLogic™ autonomous irrigation control powered by adaptive machine learning

PulseLogic for pulse drip irrigation.

Autonomous precision irrigation

Optimized for pulse drip applications

PulseLogic™ is Ensemble Scientific’s advanced autonomous pulse drip irrigation system that leverages in-field sensors, machine learning and real-time data analytics to optimize irrigation.

Why PulseLogic?

Unlike irrigation timers or basic scheduling tools, PulseLogic provides an intelligent, fully autonomous irrigation management system. It continually assesses multiple variables—soil moisture, weather conditions, and crop water needs—to autonomously deliver zone-specific irrigation pulses, maintaining soil moisture in the Goldilocks zone — not too wet and not too dry.

PulseLogic’s intuitive interface allows for easy customization of key settings like soil moisture targets and temperature thresholds, giving users flexibility without requiring complex programming. This customization, combined with autonomous capabilities and advanced forecasting features, ensures PulseLogic matches crop water needs throughout different growth stages and weather conditions.

Why pulse drip?

Pulse drip irrigation, which divides irrigation into multiple, smaller pulses of water over the day, balances irrigation delivery with crop water uptake and root-zone aeration. A recent peer-reviewed study found pulse drip to increase blueberry yield by 10% and berry size by 5% compared to irrigating as a single continuous application.

PulseLogic takes pulse drip irrigation into the AI/machine learning era by assessing and learning the unique soil-water behavior at each location across your field, making adjustments based on the unique characteristics of each location — infiltration time, field capacity, and other aspects related to soil texture and water uptake by plants.

PulseLogic modes, features, and components

Modes: Enhance and streamline your irrigation system with PulseLogic’s flexible modes, all accessible via your mobile device or computer:

  • Autonomous Mode: Automatically delivers irrigation pulses based on real-time data and user-defined set points and time windows with customizable settings for Normal, Hot, and Heatwave conditions to ensure optimal irrigation efficiency, no matter the weather.

  • Manual Zone Control: Interrupt autonomous settings at any time for precise, hands-on control of individual zones when needed.

Features include:

  • Science-based default settings for soil wetness that can be adjusted by the user on a zone-by-zone basis.

  • Easily toggle between modes and crop stages. For example, following harvest, irrigation for perennial crops can be reduced by toggling to post-harvest mode.

  • Autonomous switching between Normal, Hot, and Heatwave modes based on the in-field weather station.

Components: PulseLogic integrates seamlessly with your existing drip irrigation system, combining smart sensors, real-time data analytics, and autonomous irrigation controls to optimize water use. Our controller implements zone-based irrigation locally, operating the pump and controlling solenoids, while the cloud system continuously analyzes sensor inputs and environmental data to optimize water usage and ensure precise irrigation adjustments.

With PulseLogic, settings and modes are zone-specific, combining smart, autonomous operation with hands-on controls when desired, providing crop-optimized irrigation with exceptional ease-of-use and flexibility.
