Remote Irrigation Monitor/Control.
Pivot Point is a GPS driven irrigation monitor/control system that offers superior features in design and reliability. Pivot Point enables the pivot owner to operate any brand of irrigation system remotely though the use of GPS and Internet technology. WAAS powered GPS provides monitor/control capabilities. All the monitor/control functions are built into each Pivot Point unit, and the user decides which features to use.
Pivot Point mounts at the end tower and is powered by the pivot’s end tower box or by lithium ion batteries. This allows the monitor/control device to operate independently from the existing pivot control panel. The program informs the operator exactly where the system is positioned in the field, including its direction and speed. The stop position of the system can be programmed from a computer or web-connected PDA. Operating alerts can also be sent to a cell phone.
Operating information is collected and verified frequently to ensure the data is correct. Additionally, an operator can control the system’s speed, on/off cycles, auto-reversing, auto-restarting, delayed starting, and end-gun.
Pivot Point functionality allows significantly increased capabilities than what is already in the field without any changes to existing pivot equipment. Track position, speed, direction, water pressure and a number of other functions, as well as stop the pivot, control the end gun, and change speed based on GPS position. Most brands of pivots can be started, but additional hardware may need to be added to the existing control panel.
AgSense has three different service levels to fit specific irrigator needs.
