FasterRain is nominated for an Agromek Stars Award

FasterRain is a new controller concept for field irrigators from Fasterholt developed in close cooperation with Conpleks. The controller is suitable for all Fasterholt irrigators and is the foundation for a groundbreaking planning tool for irrigation.

Agromek, the largest exhibition for agriculture in Northern Europe, draws attention to new products presented by the exhibitors by nominating them for an Agromek Stars Award. This year, Fasterholt’s new product, FasterRain, is one of the nominees.

Upgrading all aspects

Together with Conpleks, Fasterholt has developed a new controller concept for their irrigators, which includes a pioneering planning tool for field irrigation. Besides the controller, the system consists of an app and a cloud making the daily irrigation planning easy and efficient. This is especially due to features such as zone irrigation, water quantity settings and real time fleet management.

The idea behind the FasterRain concept is to make an all-round upgrade. This goes for a correct utilization of nature resources such as water and soil nutrients as well as for minimizing the use of fertilizers, fuel and man hours. The way to reach this is through automation and remote controlling the irrigators. A work method that also brings down the number of times, the farmer needs to go in and out of the tractor, which is one of the worst ergonomic movements during the work day.

– We wish Fasterholt the best of luck with winning the award, but mostly we wish for all the farmers and future users that they will obtain all the intended advantages from FasterRain, which we together with Fasterholt have done our best to secure during the development process, says Tom Simonsen, CEO at Conpleks.
