OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lindsay Corporation
(NYSE: LNN), a leading global manufacturer and distributor of
irrigation and infrastructure equipment and technology, today
announced the launch of FieldNET with WaterTrend, a powerful new
feature that gives growers critical crop water usage insights to
aid in effective and efficient irrigation decision-making.
FieldNET, Lindsay's
award-winning irrigation management platform, provides growers the
ability to remotely monitor and control all aspects of their
existing pivot and lateral irrigation systems, regardless of the
equipment's age or brand. The platform delivers information so
growers can monitor the operational status of their irrigation
systems and control them quickly and easily from a smartphone,
tablet or computer 24-hours a day from anywhere.
"FieldNET users are accustomed to getting new, software-enabled
features and enhancements added to their service throughout the
year – these are features driven by their requests and needs," said
Brian Magnusson, Vice President of
The Americas at Lindsay. "FieldNET
with WaterTrend is the latest example of this customer-focused
innovation that is now included with every FieldNET subscription,
at no additional cost. This new feature addresses our customers'
desire to have better data available to help them make more
informed irrigation decisions. It's a feature that isn't available
through any remote irrigation monitor and control platform outside
of FieldNET, further differentiating FieldNET in the
marketplace."
Using advanced data, science and modeling technology, the new
WaterTrend feature provides a 7-day water outlook on forecasted
crop water usage and precipitation amounts. This is based on
field-specific forecasted rainfall amounts, crop growth models and
crop water usage information. Growers can see trends in how their
crops will use water over the coming week, enabling them to make
better, data-driven decisions on when and how much to irrigate.
Another added benefit of the new feature is the ability for growers
to view field-specific weather data, including the current field
conditions plus hourly and daily forecasts.
Available globally to subscribers for FieldNET-equipped center
pivots, WaterTrend can be accessed via the FieldNET app – no
additional subscription or equipment is needed.
"FieldNET with WaterTrend uses the same science and data that
goes into FieldNET Advisor™ to provide a 7-day water trend," said
Albert Maurin, product manager at
Lindsay. "Simply configure your
crop information, and FieldNET takes care of everything else.
Making informed irrigation decisions has really never been
easier."
Maurin added that, at any time, growers can take their
irrigation management to the next level and upgrade to FieldNET
Advisor to receive daily, automated irrigation recommendations –
including the ability to account for multiple crop types and
planting dates, incorporate satellite imagery, further customize
the irrigation parameters, and receive continuously updated
variable-rate irrigation (VRI) prescriptions.
"From monitor-only options to complete monitoring, analysis and
control, FieldNET offers solutions to meet every grower's needs,"
Maurin said. "And, while it's already unmatched in the industry,
our customers benefit from these kinds of continuous improvements -
we're always working to deliver additional value to our
customers."
The global release of FieldNET with WaterTrend furthers
Lindsay's commitment to creating a
more sustainable future by equipping growers with data and insights
to run their irrigation system with precision to conserve
resources. The company has a goal to help growers save more than
700 billion gallons of water and more than one billion kilowatt
hours of energy by the year 2022.
