New Delhi – Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation (formerly L&T Switchgear) has unveiled a range of IoT-powered solutions designed to transform Indian agriculture. Aiming to empower over 25,000 farmers, these innovations focus on optimizing resource use, increasing productivity by 20%, and reducing water consumption by 30%.
Central to this initiative is the SMARTCOMM Irrigation Management System (IMS)—a cutting-edge, IoT-enabled platform that allows farmers to remotely monitor and control their farms via mobile apps and dashboards. This system automates irrigation and fertigation processes, reduces water wastage, and enhances crop yields through real-time data insights.
Naresh Kumar, COO of Lauritz Knudsen, stated,
"Our mission is to drive the future of agriculture in India. By integrating smart automation, we aim to boost productivity, conserve water, and support sustainable farming practices, contributing to the ‘Viksit Bharat’ vision.”
The company’s focus extends beyond automation to sustainability. IoT-driven sensors help manage water and fertilizer use precisely, while solar-powered irrigation systems promote renewable energy adoption. These technologies not only reduce environmental impact but also align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
With over 70 years of experience in India, Lauritz Knudsen has already impacted 2.5 million people annually through innovative agricultural solutions. Its latest offerings aim to cover 120,000 hectares of irrigated land, driving inclusive prosperity and supporting India’s agricultural transformation.
