Online availability and do-it-yourself (DIY) installation makes entry-level remote irrigation monitoring more accessible than ever.
"Our goal is to make irrigation monitoring accessible for every grower. To do that, we need to meet growers where they are, and that is increasingly online," said
An ultra-low-cost solution, FieldNET Pivot Watch offers reporting on the flow of water and current pivot position, direction and speed. The solar-powered unit mounts onto any center pivot irrigation system, regardless of age or brand - including hydraulic systems. With integrated cellular connectivity, GPS positioning and other embedded sensors, this solution lets growers monitor their pivot's functions via the FieldNET app – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
"It easily attaches directly to the span pipe - there's no need to connect to the electrical circuitry of the pivot. That means growers can install it themselves," Dunbar said. "Although it is a DIY solution, Amazon customers will be connected to a local Zimmatic® dealer and also have access to the FieldNET Customer Support team, meaning they can expect top-notch support at every level."
The first year monitor-only FieldNET subscription is included with the price of the FieldNET Pivot Watch. The FieldNET app also provides access to FieldNET Advisor®, an automated irrigation scheduling tool that will help them make faster, better-informed irrigation decisions.
The FieldNET Pivot Watch package available on Amazon is priced at
