It’s amazing to be living in a digital age as we can instantly access so much information via our smart devices. We can see what friends and relatives are doing hundreds of miles away, or gain knowledge about our profession or hobbies with a few quick internet searches.

If you’re not leveraging this power to better manage your crops, you’re missing out. When it comes to getting the most out of your irrigation system it’s about efficiency and productivity. The right data helps you make better decisions for your operation.

Reinke remote management comprises the hardware, RC3™, and software, ReinCloud®, to bring your irrigation system into the digital age. Operate your irrigation system remotely from any place, at any time.

“I like that I can change my speed whenever I want and see the application depth on my screen,” said Brendan Schardt, a grower in Deshler, Nebraska.

With a few swipes on your smart device you can start and stop equipment, change direction, and control speed and pump settings. You’re able to receive notifications when there’s a change in the system’s status and make any needed adjustments, wherever you happen to be at the moment.

Reinke remote management helps Randy Fornoff, a grower in Mason County, Illinois, better manage his time. “In the morning, I check my phone right away to see what systems are running. If there’s a system that’s broke down, I go take care of that one first,” he said.

More ReinCloud compatible hardware is available. Field sensor data can be displayed on your ReinCloud interface to provide accurate, reliable and timely information on a customizable dashboard that can help you make better irrigation decisions. These compaitlble devices collect data from compatible sensors that monitor soil moisture, weather variables and water meter readings, and relays the information to ReinCloud.

As an Irrigation Manager at Turning Point Irrigation, Karla Noble serves many southeast Nebraska growers who use a combination of soil moisture sensors and remote management technology for irrigation scheduling.

“Moisture probes and remote management are proving to be great technologies for farmers,” she said. “They can see how much water is needed and change the application rate. They can do it immediately, even if they are away from the farm, instead of having to wait until they get back and losing critical irrigation hours.”

The software component of Reinke remote management, ReinCloud, provides a customizable dashboard where you can quickly view irrigation system status, weather, sensor data and irrigation controls, making on-the-go decisions easy. Manage multiple pieces of equipment and multiple properties on one dashboard and divide your irrigation equipment into management groups for at-a-glance equipment management. ReinCloud is accessible on all your everyday devices, whether you prefer a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer.

With RC3 and ReinCloud, you don’t have to buy a new system or even replace a control panel to remotely manage your irrigation systems or view vital data since RC3 is compatible with other brands of center pivots.
