Furrow's development focus is on providing robust and reliable building blocks for sophisticated farm-wide irrigation and stock-water automation.
Example: Surface Irrigation Water Management
A fusion of water level and flow sensing, wetting front detection, pump station management and application control.
We start with fully automated run-off collection during irrigation and rainfall events. Collecting tailwater and sending it to storages in a timely fashion keeps paddocks from becoming water logged, all without needing to physical access.
Then we have automation of the delivery network, channel fill and height maintenance, easing the burden during irrigation events. Pairing this with wetting-front detection and alerting means that you can manage your time during irrigation more effectively.
Finally, automated crop application means that with the right infrastructure, water can be automatically and remotely applied, stopped on time/wetting front, and progressed to the next set/bay without physical intervention.
Example: Stock Water Delivery
Combining regular tank level sensing, trough supply line flow monitoring and ultimately non-contact trough level/condition sensing. We can detect and alert all trough and delivery network failure modes, giving you early warnings before your stock loses access to water.
- Flow/level baseline and pattern learning
- Real-time alerting upon detection of abnormalities
- Detect delivery pipe and valve leakage, blockage, disconnection
- Detect trough dry, overflowing, obstructed
