Increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and standardizing product quality have made automation systems indispensable in the agriculture sector. Fertilizer and seed filling automation lies at the heart of this transformation.
Use Case: 150‑ha Farm in the Mediterranean Region
A certified farm cultivates corn and wheat on 150 hectares annually. Manual fertilizing and seeding caused time loss and uneven distribution. The farm owner decided to implement Botex System’s fully integrated filling line, managing both fertilizer and seed dosing through a single automation platform.
System Architecture and Technical Specs
The installation consists of two main modules: Fertilizer Filling Unit and Seed Filling Unit. Both units feature a PLC‑based controller, HMI screen, and an IoT data‑collection layer. They are linked to 1,200 L silos; fill rates are adjustable between 0‑200 kg/min. Sensors ensure a dosing accuracy of ±0.5 % and report data in real time to a cloud platform.
Operational Gains and Performance Analysis
Performance reports from the first three months showed:
Key Benefits
- 12 % reduction in fertilizer consumption
- 15 % higher seed distribution uniformity
- 30 % decrease in labor costs
- 25 % increase in line efficiency
