Product Spotlight | IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT

Water efficiency is becoming increasingly important in today’ s agriculture industry. To meet the challenge and support growers, irrigation equipment must offer precision, control and overall efficiency. Selecting the right products for your system goes beyond performance. It requires considering long-term durability, ease of maintenance, automation, remote access and customization.

These features can streamline irrigation operations and contribute to sustainable farming practices, making them essential factors for any grower looking to optimize water use.

• Edge Controller

T-L Irrigation Co.’ s Edge Controller is a fully remote system designed to streamline center pivot irrigation by relocating the control unit from the pivot point to the end tower. This change enhances operational accuracy and reliability while reducing the length of wiring needed, cutting down on potential failure points.

The controller integrates key sensors for water pressure, GPS position, direction and speed directly at the end tower to allow for real-time adjustments and closed-loop speed control. Only a low-voltage power supply is required through the pivot span. An optional Edge Solar package eliminates the need for a span cable by powering the system with solar panels, offering a fully wireless alternative that may reduce the risk of cable theft.

Compatible with both new and existing irrigation systems, this system enables fully remote monitoring and management from any connected device, helping growers improve water application efficiency and overall system performance.
