1
Case definition
Mineral, process, heap or sector, diagnostic objectives and operational restrictions.
Instrumented pilots for field validation
A practical path to evaluate the system in a defined heap or sector, with field instrumentation, wireless acquisition, photovoltaic self-charging, temporal monitoring, dashboard, scale-up criteria and evidence to review operational water-resource use.
Pilot path
How a pilot is structured
A pilot should be technically defensible, operationally installable and useful to validate real hypotheses.
2
Coverage design
Instrumentation location, depth, geometry and measurement scope.
3
Installation
Hardware deployment, wireless acquisition, PV self-charging, communication and data recording.
4
Temporal monitoring
Data capture during relevant irrigation and operation cycles, including evidence to assess distribution and water control.
5
Dashboard and reports
Visualization, KPIs, phenomena, evolution and technical findings.
6
Scale-up
Evaluation of operational value, future coverage and technology continuity.
Deliverables
What a pilot may include
The scope is defined case by case with the operation.
T
Technical deliverables
Instrumentation design, wireless nodes, PV self-charging configuration, temporal dataset, dashboard, phenomenon analysis, technical report and recommendations.

Questions to answer
Which zones behave differently, how irrigation evolves, which sectors deserve follow-up, which irrigation decisions can be reviewed and what coverage is needed to scale.
Let us design a reasonable and measurable pilot
The scope should be technically defensible, operationally installable and useful to validate real operating hypotheses.
