Introducing FMS
FARM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
FMS is a sensor based automated irrigation system that provides real-time visibility into the operating status of motors, pumps, valves, flow rate and other parameters of your irrigation system. The intelligent automated irrigation system empowers farmers to monitor and control different aspects of the irrigation system from the convenience of a smartphone or laptop.
Inputs and costs are reduced including water, time, labour, electricity and fertilisers, whilst ensuring the optimal use of water and maximum benefit to the crop. It all adds up to increased yield and bigger profits.
Good Design Award Gold Winner
FMS won the Gold Award for Good Design at Australia By Design Innovations. Check out the video below.
FMS is available at Think Water Toowoomba Pumps and Irrigation
FMS = TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR IRRIGATION
Comprehensive programming abilities allow you to set up complex irrigation schedules.
Simply set a rule that will trigger an event such as starting or stopping a pump, decreasing water flow or initiating an irrigation event when environmental conditions reach a predetermined set point. You can commence a rule manually or schedule it in advance to begin automatically.
FMS Control has also been designed with an open framework, allowing the system to grow over time as your requirements change.
GUARANTEED TO FIT INTO YOUR EXISTING IRRIGATION SET UP
From day one, we developed the FMS automated irrigation system to be compatible with any off-the-shelf sensor and control any device available on the market. Most systems use wireless sensors that need to be matched to the main product, forcing growers to replace their current irrigation equipment at a significant expense. By wiring the sensors into the device, FMS is almost guaranteed to fit into any existing irrigation set up. That’s a big deal.
LORAWAN TECHNOLOGY FOR LONGER RANGE
Other systems require a sim card or the use of ‘line of site’ wireless technologies which prove ineffective for properties with minimal phone service or that have undulating terrain where line of site is not possible. We overcome this by utilising LoRaWan technology (low frequency radio) that can wirelessly transmit signals to the internet gateway up to 15km ‘line of site’ or 3km through heavy vegetation and buildings, ensuring you don’t experience interruptions or technical failures.
Farm Management System
“FMS has changed the way I farm. The amount of time I am saving by not driving around and making sure my pumps are operating effectively is already resulting in huge productivity gains. It’s great to look at your phone, see you need to water, turn on the pump and be able to see it’s working correctly without leaving home or the office.”
