Abstract

Efficient water flow management in remote irrigation canals remains a critical challenge due to limited infrastructure and energy access. This study presents the design and development of an automatic solar-powered gate system with wireless activation, utilizing LoRa technology, which offers a sustainable and autonomous solution for rural environments. The system integrates a solar panel, charge controller, and battery to ensure off-grid operation. At the same time, an ESP32 LoRa microcontroller and H-bridge enable remote control of a DC motor via a mobile application. The design methodology followed the VDI 2221 standard, encompassing requirement specification, conceptual modeling in Autodesk Inventor, circuit simulation in Proteus, and prototype implementation. Simulation results demonstrate the system's energy efficiency, long-range communication capability, and reduced need for manual intervention compared to conventional gate mechanisms. Future enhancements include the integration of water-level sensors for dynamic control and a cloud-based monitoring platform to support real-time data access and improved resource management.
