An irrigation maintenance system for facilitating irrigation of a farming area includes a sensor disposed at a main disconnect of a utility, a processor, and a memory. The sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative of abnormal operation of at least one component of a plurality of components of an irrigation system for the farming area based on network power quality, the network power quality including a phase balance, an inrush current, a power factor, or combinations thereof. The memory includes instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor, cause the irrigation maintenance system to: determine abnormal operation of the at least one component of the irrigation system based on the signal; and predict, by a machine learning model, a maintenance requirement of the at least one component based on the determined abnormal operation.

Irrigation maintenance system

A monitoring system for an irrigation system is presented. The irrigation system includes a movable end gun operatively associated with a portion of the irrigation system. The monitoring system includes a sensor configured to generate an electrical signal indicative of movement and/or positioning of the movable end gun relative to the portion of the irrigation system over time, a processor, and a memory. The memory includes instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor cause the system to: receive the generated electrical signal, determine whether the movable end gun, or one or more components thereof, requires maintenance based on the electrical signal, and determine when the movable end gun is in an on and/or off trigger state based on the electrical signal.

Condition based monitoring of irrigation

A monitoring system for an irrigation system that includes a nozzle and a product source that supports a product for mixing with water from a water source to which the irrigation system is operably coupled. The monitoring system includes: a sensor configured to generate a first electrical signal indicative of a travel speed and/or a travel direction of the irrigation system; a fluid pressure sensor configured to generate a second electrical signal indicative of a flow rate, a processor, a memory, and a variable speed pump or a valve. The memory includes instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the monitoring system to: receive the first and second generated electrical signals, determine an applied rate of the irrigation fluid over a predetermined irrigation area based on the first and second electrical signals, and adjust the flow rate of the irrigation fluid through the at least one nozzle.

Irrigation system including electronic independent observer integration with fertigation system

Methods and systems for efficient power management of a finite power storage unit that provides a finite amount of power to a vehicle accessory are provided. The method includes receiving an input parameter. The input parameter includes one of a desired runtime for the vehicle accessory and a desired condition setting for the vehicle accessory. The method also includes receiving an environment data. Also, the method includes a processor determining an output parameter based on the input parameter and the environment data. The output parameter includes one of an acceptable condition setting for the vehicle accessory and a predicted runtime for the vehicle accessory. Further, the method includes providing the output parameter to a display for displaying the output parameter.

Operation of vehicle accessories based on predicted runtime of a primary system

A transportable enclosure can include a housing, a power source, a container, an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, and a controller. The container can be configured to receive a temperature sensitive item therein. The evaporator can be disposed at least partially around the container. The condenser can be positioned near a wall of the housing and can be configured to reject heat from the evaporator to an ambient environment through the wall of the housing.

Transportable active cooling container

A predictive maintenance system for an irrigation system includes one or more sensors configured to generate a signal indicative of abnormal operation within the irrigation system, the sensors electrically coupled to a drive system, a processor, and a memory. The memory includes instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor cause the predictive maintenance system to receive the generated signal, determine abnormal operation of the drive system based on the generated signal, and predict, by a machine learning model, a maintenance requirement of the drive system based on the determined abnormal operation.

Determining drive system anomalies based on power and/or current changes in an irrigation system

A system predicts needed maintenance for an irrigation system that includes a portion of the irrigation system and a movable end gun operably associated with the portion of the irrigation system. The predictive maintenance system includes a controller and one or more sensors configured to couple to the movable end gun and configured to electrically communicate with the controller. The one or more sensors are configured to generate an electrical signal indicative of movement and/or positioning of the movable end gun relative to the portion of the irrigation system over time. The controller is configured to receive the electrical signal and determine whether the movable end gun, or one or more components thereof, requires maintenance based on the electrical signal. The signal indicative of abnormal operation includes an indication of movement and/or positioning relative to the portion of the irrigation system over a period of time.

Human machine interface for a controller

A modular kinematic and telemetry system for an irrigation system includes a condition-based monitoring (CBM) system and a plurality of sets of modular foot assemblies. The CBM system has a housing and supports a plurality of kinematic and telemetry components. The plurality of sets of modular foot assemblies includes a first set and a second set that secure to the housing of the CBM system. The first set is configured to secure the CBM system to a first end gun configuration and the second set is configured to secure the CBM system to a second end gun configuration that is different from the first end gun configuration.

Modular kinematic and telemetry system for an irrigation system

A pump mount for a product transportation and storage enclosure can include a stationary bracket secured to one or more of the walls of the housing, a rotating bracket configured to support the pump, a pump manifold, and a rotating manifold.

Rotating pump mount and support for transportation enclosure

A monitoring system for an irrigation system is presented. The irrigation system includes a movable end gun operatively associated with a portion of the irrigation system. The monitoring system includes a sensor configured to generate an electrical signal indicative of movement and/or positioning of the movable end gun relative to the portion of the irrigation system over time, a processor, and a memory. The memory includes instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor cause the system to: receive the generated electrical signal, determine whether the movable end gun, or one or more components thereof, requires maintenance based on the electrical signal, and determine when the moveable end gun is in an on and/or off trigger state based on the electrical signal.

Methods and systems for detecting and correcting improper operation of a compressor in a refrigeration system and/or an HVAC system include a component level detection and prevention and a system level detection and prevention. The system level detection and prevention can be a backup or a confirmation of the component level detection and prevention. The component level detection and prevention can detect and prevent improper compressor operation within a predetermined time so that the compressor's operation period in an improper direction can be minimized, thereby minimizing wear and damage to the compressor.
