Managing resources for growth & compliance

Data Logger

AQUACOM DATA LOGGING & TELEMETRY SYSTEM provides a complete Telemetry Infrastructure to provide a Total Irrigation Management and ECan Compliance data. It collects and records the following data (if connected) and transmits this back to the Base Station PC (and from there to the Hydrological Data and Compliance system).:

  • Soil moisture
  • Soil temperature
  • Flow rate & volume
  • Rainfall
  • Air temperature
  • Pump status
  • Pond or well water levels

Using free radio links and existing internet connections there are no ongoing cellular charges for transferring data. Being able to access all the above data in a timely fashion allows growers to make immediate Irrigation Management decisions.
Our radio-linked AQUAFLEX system gives us up to the minute monitoring of Soil Moisture and Soil Temperature. This season with the AQUAFLEX we have grown more grass with periods of over 90 kg/day because we could manage our water levels to match demand. The system has also helped us towards achieving our goal of increased water use efficiency.- Peter Hancox, Lincoln University Dairy Farm Manager
