Scheduling Water and Nutrients

The founders of SWAN Systems are farmers and industry consultants which gives them a unique insight into the practical issues confronting producers. This has shaped product functionality and rigour to ensure it is relevant to end user demands.

SWAN Systems evolved from years of working in irrigated horticulture where the objective was to determine exactly when and how much irrigation and fertiliser was required to optimise production and maximise farm gross margins without harming the environment.

SWAN Systems is a cost effective management tool that assists growers to optimise production. It can use your existing hardware and is able to integrate all relevant data from multiple sources. Proven algorithms process this data, which is then available to the user to assist with management decisions. SWAN can also provide the user with System Suggested Irrigation.

SWAN has capabilities across key areas including irrigation, nutrients, spatial imagery for monitoring, alarms/alerts and reporting.

SWAN’s ability to integrate data from multiple sources across the farm provides the detail for more informed decision making.
