Monitoring & Controls
Improve your bottom line with Automation
How It Works
Automation often consists of a wireless network for monitoring and control, and a Web application. The network is made of nodes, which are connected to sensors and actuators for monitoring weather conditions, soil moisture, historic irrigation data, and to actuate over the irrigation system. The nodes communicate with each other to send the information to the central Gateway, which connects the network with a web server. Key features include:
- Flexible and adaptable
- Monitoring and control
- Low power consumption
- Reliable hardware and wireless network
- Powerful software suite for analysis, reports and alerts
- Always available from anywhere
- Proven technology from WiseConn, Polaris Energy Services, Pumpsight, Sentek, Davis Instruments, Irrometer, GroGuru and Bermad
