FasterRain

FasterRain is a ground-breaking field irrigation planning tool developed by Fasterholt Maskinfabrik. With features such as real-time fleet management, remote start and stop, setting of water volume and zone irrigation, field irrigation becomes more efficient and easier to manage. Everything is managed through the accompanying app, and changes can be made along the way.

  • Live updates, e.g.
    • end time, hose length, battery status, machine status, location and error messages
  • Virtually set early stop
  • Virtually set zone irrigation
    • No upper limit for the number of zones
  • Remote start, stop and pause
  • Remote sequence irrigation
  • Irrigation timing
  • Pre- and post-irrigation
  • Creating and reusing irrigation routes
  • Route guidance for the irrigator
  • Simple nozzle calculation tables
  • Dosage setting with easy unit change e.g. between [mm], [m/h], [hours] and [m3/ha]
  • Pairing with Raindancer with simple on/off switching
  • Machine configuration, including simple switching between high and low pressure

Product information

The purpose of FasterRain is to offer a comprehensive upgrade that covers all aspects. This means that the focus is not only on the amount of water used and thus the correct utilisation of natural resources. Savings on fuel and man-hours as well as better ergonomics are equally important.

Benefits

  • Efficient use of working hours without unnecessary trips to the field
  • Optimised and adapted water consumption
  • Same amount of water and operating hours cover larger areas
  • High level of flexibility with timing functions and remote control
  • Intuitive user interfaces throughout the system
  • Better ergonomics with fewer movements in and out of the tractor
  • Reduced fuel and power consumption per irrigation activity
  • Contribution to a green transition

Without the cloud, the remaining setting options can also be used via the FasterRain app when connected to the local Wi-Fi of the irrigator or via the FasterRain controller.

FasterRain is standard equipment from the 2025 series onwards, but it can also be installed on older irrigators. Access to the cloud solution follows the purchase of FasterRain, and the first season is free of charge. This allows farmers to try out the different functions and find out how they contribute to daily field irrigation. Subsequently, the management system can be purchased as a annual subscription. To ensure the best training, help is available in the shape of instructions and how-to videos.

The cloud solution includes two apps, FasterRain and FasterRain Monitor. Where FasterRain can be used to actively control field irrigation remotely, FasterRain Monitor provides an overview of the machine status and information about individual irrigations.
