Inspiration
It was inspired by Pega Golf challenge on Sustainability . by the lack of data driven environment-process in Water sustainability and uses on Golf Courses and lack of water management. Its funny, that lot of waste of water in golf courses going on .
With water sources such as deep well or reclaimed water how you get the water matters less than how much and when the course is watered process . Attached below shows the research of Usga.
.
Increase in Water usage will increase cost
What it does
Define Watering of Tees , Fairways , greens, roughs. Roughs are natural with irrigation. Set and sychronize a watering plan thru a Control Interface that open and closes valves by an electro charge.
The hardware used is either A Raspberry Pi connected to Node-red app backend or Photon
. That controls and activates a sprinkler is open or closed. The Vue fronted provides course staff the Data set to feed the Control interface the water schedule.
How we built it
Pega’s easy to use drag-and-drop development gives the ease to user to adapt to their club use. Used Vue to build the schedule frontend. and the web mashup water plan . the API for syncing course data. With App Studio used Case Type to design a Waterplan .It allows to choose a duration of 8 to 15 minutes per Area, for flexible watering plan. Features : Decision to disable Option to disable watering if it Will rain Water instructions sync to conditions
Challenges we ran into
One of the challenges is connecting Waterplan and Vue app .
Accomplishments that we're proud of
developed Case-Based water management.that improves and tweaks golfcourse watering.with Pega’s easy to use drag-and-drop development gives ease to user to adapt to their club.
What we learned
How to setup Case Type How to setup Raspberry Pi I learned you can water course area by switching on internet connected device .
What's next for GolfGreen
scale to more sprinklers.
