“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
HYDRIP: New Generation of Irrigation Equipment
Tea plantations in Nantou, Taiwan tend to rely on natural rainfall because traditional irrigation pipes are costly and damage-prone. HYDRIP helps farmers mitigate drought issues by combining AIOT technology with fog-replenishing networks, effectively collecting condensation droplets and storing rainwater to ensure sufficient water for crop irrigation. Additionally, AIOT technology monitors soil moisture to provide farmers with intelligent and efficient irrigation management.
