Water is taken by many as granted, specifically the urban population. Farmers will paint a different picture. An irrigation picture of a scarce resource that has to be used efficiently and is not always available by turning a tap.
We can offer a solution that makes irrigation more efficient and easier to monitor: the GSM Commander.
Use the GSM Commander to control pumps, booster pumps and centre pivots.
- monitor ground moisture
- turn on irrigation based on external parameters or during set time
- monitor outdoor temperature
- manage and monitor if pumps and booster pumps have come on
- alert if faults occur (pumps not working correctly)
GSM Commander can notify on events like:
- Pump has switched on/off
- Pump’s temperature exceeds limits
- Timing functions
- Motor health monitoring
- Booster pump control & monitoring
- Cable theft on the pivot
- Cable theft / security at the Pump
When Considering Farm Irrigation
Use the GSM Commander to control pumps, booster pumps and centre Pivots.
Consider this Scenario & Application
A farmer wants to irrigate only during GREEN time to save on costs. A GSM Commander is installed at the pump house inside an enclosure with back up battery.
Commands for Control & Monitoring
- monitor if ground is moist
- automatically turn on irrigation during set time
- monitor outdoor temperature
- monitor if pumps & booster pumps have come on, alert if faults occur (pumps not working correctly)
- Cable theft on all cables
- GSM Commander can notify the relevant people if Pump has switched on/off
- GSM Commander can notify if the pumps temperature exceeds the normal temp.
Each application has different requirements and the commander can be configured to your needs.
Irrigation Integration
The power of the GSM Commander becomes evident when we consider the above application, and the fact that they can all be implemented on the same GSM commander device in a single installation! When considering a pump house, we can implement, using a single GSM Commander, basic perimeter security, motor control, motor protection and cable cut detection and transformer detection. The same principle holds true for pivot installations. The sky is the limit with the GSM Commander.
