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 the self-moving irrigator uses but also and particularly on 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
The various FasterRains levels
FasterRain is made for self-moving irrigators and consists of a controller together with an app and cloud solution. The controller is an actual computer mounted on the irrigator. The number of available functionalities depends on whether the cloud is activated. By using the cloud, it is possible among other things to manage and remotely control both the irrigator and the pumps. That goes for an example for start and stop functionalities and for the setting of sequence irrigation. Furthermore, it is possible to monitor the machine and irrigation status remotely through the app, as long as the device is connected to the internet.
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 on self-moving irrigators from the 2025 series onwards, but it can also be installed on older irrigators of the same type. 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.
