Different engineering observations do not possess equal importance.
Certain situations may require immediate attention, whereas others merely indicate opportunities for gradual optimisation.
The Decision Support Engine should therefore prioritise recommendations according to their potential impact.
Examples include:
- critical irrigation failures
- abnormal hydraulic behaviour
- excessive root-zone drying
- prolonged water saturation
- sensor anomalies
- communication failures
- opportunities for improving irrigation efficiency
Presenting recommendations according to engineering priority helps users focus their attention on the issues most likely to influence system performance.
