Idaho Patent of the Month – November 2024
Baseline Inc. has introduced a revolutionary hydraulic control system designed to optimize irrigation efficiency and reduce operational challenges. By integrating advanced algorithms with real-time monitoring, this system redefines water management for agricultural and industrial applications, ensuring both resource conservation and system durability.
At the core of this innovation is its adaptive control mechanism, which monitors water pressure and flow rates to maintain them within a precise operational range. When irregularities are detected, the system dynamically identifies and adjusts valve positions to stabilize flow characteristics. Unlike traditional systems reliant on static schedules or manual intervention, Baseline’s solution employs predictive analytics to anticipate and mitigate issues like water hammer or pressure drops.
A standout feature of this system is its ability to create and refine valve profiles based on real-time data. Each valve’s behavior, including recovery times and pressure-flow relationships, is continuously analyzed and ranked for effectiveness. This allows the system to make informed decisions about valve adjustments, maximizing efficiency while minimizing wear and tear on the infrastructure.
By leveraging non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums, the system also stores historical data to predict future performance and adapt to dynamic changes, such as fluctuations in water supply or system modifications. This adaptability ensures consistent irrigation while preventing overuse or underutilization of water resources.
Baseline Inc.’s hydraulic control system is more than just a technological advancement—it’s a practical solution to real-world problems. With its emphasis on precision, sustainability, and proactive management, this innovation not only saves water but also extends the lifespan of hydraulic systems. Whether for large-scale farms or municipal irrigation, Baseline’s technology represents a significant leap forward in intelligent water management.
