download brochureRubicon leads the world in irrigation efficiency with its unique water control gates and Total Channel Control® - Rubicon's completely automated irrigation canal management system. Now FarmConnect™ brings the same advanced industrial-grade technology to the farm, providing farmers with an integrated solution for:
- water ordering/metering
- irrigation scheduling
- on-farm automation
FarmConnect's™ iβee™ wireless network links field devices including high-flow bay gates and soil moisture sensors to allow you to wirelessly monitor and control your irrigation. The iβee™ network gives you the flexibility to easily add numerous field devices over time, allowing you to build a highly efficient automated farm operation.
- Dedicated on-farm wireless network based on the ZigBee protocol for easy connectivity and reliability
- Excellent all-terrain coverage and GPS positioning
- Wireless monitoring and control of a wide range of field devices including:
- soil moisture sensors
- weather stations
- gates
- valves
- pumps
FarmConnect's™ easy to use web-based software allows you to monitor soil moisture and control an irrigation from any computer or compatible handheld device with an internet connection - allowing you to irrigate from the farmhouse, or the other side of the world. FarmConnect™ software uses Google™ satellite mapping and GPS positioning to graphically display your farm, showing you the status of your field devices at a glance and making it easy to initiate an irrigation from your computer.
- Irrigation scheduling software
- On-farm automation software
- Farm sites referenced graphically and overlayed on Google™ map background
- Event linking system - irrigation routing and event sequencing
- SMS text message alerts
- Access via TCC® Water Ordering Portal where available
- Full interaction with TCC® control system enabling variable supply flows
It is now being demonstrated that high flows/faster irrigations lead to more efficient irrigation.
Rubicon has developed specialized technology to support the precise application of water using surface irrigation methods.
When precision and high flow surface irrigation are combined, the water efficiency savings are sizeable.
The science behind precision surface irrigation also becomes necessary with high flow irrigation, because of the difficulty in operating high flows manually.
Additional benefits come when integrated with an automated supply point meter operating under Total Channel Control®, giving the ability to adjust flows to the real time needs of the irrigation system.
