Furrow Link

Link is Furrow’s connectivity hub; it showcases the core of our design philosophy.

Cable free*, no soft antennas#, metal construction. Our products are designed to withstand the extremes of the farm environment, for years on end.

Multi-use

Link is available in a number of sensing variants, and communication options. Cellular, satellite and loraWAN communications combined with either radar level sensing, Furrow’s machine vision sensing system or a more general purpose sensor connectivity variant. All Link variants are equipped with bluetooth for short-range peripheral sensor connections.

Generous power

Link is powered by an integrated solar PV panel and battery. This provides plentiful power reserves for servicing regular communications, a variety of sensors and bluetooth connections. The lifetime battery never needs changing and unlike other battery powered products we are not restricted to a handful of updates per day.

In-built sensing

Geolocation of Link by in-built GPS is standard, along with inclination and magnetic orientation.

Installation ease

Link can mount atop a DN40 or 50mm OD pipe, a range of ready-to-fit mounting brackets are also available. A single fastener system makes installation quick and simple.

Furrow is building a fully featured pump management console with connectivity and the ancillary requirements of remote management at the forefront of it's design.

Furrow Govern on a diesel engine

Pump monitoring and control is often a very complex task involving startup and shutdown sequences, engine protection, priming, battery management and a suite of sensors to ensure the operation is occurring as planned, without damage to equipment.

It is rarely a simple case of just remotely "turning on an output" even with smaller, simpler pump setups. This simplistic approach often creates more problems than it solves.

Furrow Govern

Govern - is designed to interface directly to diesel driven pumps of any size.

Capabilities include start/stop/speed control, fault shutdown and engine protection, through to cranking battery charging, local automation, preventative maintenance management, and activity logging.

A Robust suite of IO, 12/24 VDC operation, battery charger and day/night high visibility e-ink touchscreen are just a few of Govern's practical features.

Furrow Govern

When paired with a Link module and Furrow's software suite, Govern can be used to remotely start/stop and control pump speed, flowrate, or line pressure.

Automation can occur locally, with water sensors close to the pump, or remotely using sensors connected to other Link enabled installations. Pump efficiency can not only be monitored, but automatically maximised based on required flow demands.
