Gain More Control with FieldNET Pivot Control Lite

Most growers today who use technology to help manage their irrigation operation can’t imagine life without it. The ability to check in on and control their systems from virtually anywhere has given these growers more confidence and peace of mind in their decisions—plus, cost and resource savings.

Our family of FieldNET™ products is a prime example of how technology is there to support growers. Whether you’re looking to simply monitor your irrigation operation remotely, analyze its efficiency with data or control your systems with a tap, it’s all possible with FieldNET.

In this article, we’re going to talk about the benefits of remote control capabilities with FieldNET Pivot Control Lite.

What is FieldNET Pivot Control Lite?

FieldNET Pivot Control Lite is an end-of-pivot mounted controller that allows growers to remotely monitor and control their center pivots. As part of the Pivot Control family, our Lite version is a cost-effective option for those looking for peace of mind and a way to simplify irrigation management.

If you’re operating multiple brands of new and existing pivots or farming leased land, Pivot Control Lite can easily and seamlessly be retrofitted to an existing electric system—no matter the age or brand. In fact, the innovative, patent-pending design of the Pivot Control Lite allows you to continue to utilize all the features of your existing in-field control panel (mechanical or digital) while adding remote monitoring and control, without the worry of the application depth control issues common in other end-of-pivot mounted solutions.

And while the Pivot Control Lite may trade in some of its control capabilities like remote start (available with the full Pivot Control) to provide a lower cost option, it’s far from a lightweight solution. With it, you gain the advantages of the award-winning FieldNET web and mobile app capabilities, including instant notifications and status updates. It even has optional cable theft detection for pivots in remote areas.
