Galcon Takes Smart Irrigation Control to the Next Level
Advertisement
Following on from the success of the Galcon’s GSI smart irrigation controller range over the past five years, two new products released recently, set a new benchmark in Cloud-Based irrigation control. The GSI Pro is a further development of the popular GSI Ag range and now includes multi-channel, proportional or quantitative fertigation control with EC/pH management, dual headworks control and metering, automatic filter flushing, analogue sensor monitoring and up to eight irrigation programs with unlimited starts per day. The web interface was upgraded in 2020 to the Angular platform, which is compatible with all major browsers. Galcon’s Galileo system is an advanced modular controller for irrigation, fertigation, and climate control in greenhouses and in large, complex areas with multiple valves and complex hydraulic elements. It has been their flagship control system for more than 20 years. The challenge was upgrading the legacy Open Field and Greenhouse software management systems to support remote access and control. The result is Galileo CLOUD, which is based on a totally new CPU supporting LAN, WiFi, Bluetooth and cellular communications with cloud-based control from PC, Mac, iOS or Android devices. The new user interface supports all aspects of setup, programming, control and reporting to the point where the controller no longer requires a display or keyboard on the cabinet.
Graphical tools include live overlay of all functional elements onto a Google Earth background with realtime display of operational status and error alerts. Analogue sensor data can be logged and displayed over time using the Galileo CLOUD graph module. The number of pumps, water meters, fertigation systems, and irrigation zones that can be controlled is virtually unlimited. This is the most advanced cloud-based controller for agriculture and horticulture.
