Mobile Irrigation
FieldNET Pivot Control, offers a solution for upgrading
almost any brand pivot to full remote irrigation control and monitoring capabilities. I spoke with Reece Andrews, FieldNET Business Manager. “Pivot Control mounts at the pivot point and combines with GPS at the end of the pivot for what FieldNET claims to add increased precision and greater flexibility. Growers can operate their pivot in the field at the control box or remotely using FieldNET—both elements automatically update together--minimizing the chance for user error. From a smartphone, tablet, or computer, growers can control their pivots and equipment, including pumps, injectors, and monitor sensors for pressure, flow, soil moisture, rainfall, temperature, and other devices in the future. The system will send alerts to the growers’ phone to notify them of any irrigation issues.”
