- Real-time snapshot view of current operating stations and system flow rate for each controller across account or portfolio.
- Remote access and ability to change flow configurations.
- Customizable settings for station flow thresholds and mainline break thresholds.
- Centralized control to adjust depletion settings and water requirements.
- Tracking reports for active and historical flow-based alarms to quickly identify trends.
- Integrated flow alarm notifications to users via email, text or SMS.
To further facilitate rapid response from the field, the WeatherTRAK.net platform now includes the WeatherTRAK Mobile application, providing mobile control and visibility to multiple WeatherTRAK controllers at the site, account or portfolio level from the account user's iPhones, iPads and Android-based smartphones or tablets.
Green industry professionals can demo the new Flow on the Web features at HydroPoint Booth #1427 during the Irrigation Association's annual show and educational conference, November 2 - 6, 2012 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
