John Deere Irrigation System - Manual (Page 7)

Imagine having sensors embedded at each hole actually measuring and
sending real-time updates for the controller to act on. Or being able to make
adjustments to your irrigation settings from any web-enabled platform (from
a PC back in the office, to your home PC, to a Windows Mobile ® SmartPhone
or PDA)? Or perhaps just being able to use a maintenance radio to change
settings, without having to invest in costly upgrades to your controllers? The
Aurora system can do all this, and more.

Give each hole individual climate
control. Spend less time cooped
up in the office.
ET Sensor
Environmental sensors such as subsurface moisture, oxygen, methane and temperature levels, flow,
rainfall, wind speed and ET, etc. connected to any single or array of field controllers can be embedded
right in the ground of a rough or green, to instantly provide updates to the controller network. So
instead of relying on a weather station located back at the office, each hole’s Field Controller can
receive the ultimate local weather report and act on it immediately, plus share this data directly with
other controllers nearby.
Smartphone/PDA
With eAurora mobile management software, you can have access to your irrigation
system anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. If you had wanted an office
job, you’d have an office job.
Maintenance radio
Being able to access controllers with a maintenance radio is nothing new. But what is new is being able to add
this capability to your system without requiring a central. Like other systems, Aurora can be accessed by landline
or cell phone as well.
