Agralink Expands Platform with Water Meter Monitoring, Custom Call List and Smarter Sensor Capabilities

Agralarm’s Agralink has released a platform update that adds water meter monitoring, custom call lists, expanded dry contact sensor capability, and a scheduled reporting add-on that is in direct response to how today’s farms operate.

The water meter monitoring capability, called Bring Your Own Water Meter, lets farms connect their existing water meters directly to the Agralink dry contact sensor. A single sensor can handle up to three separate water meters at once, saving on hardware costs. Most water meters already installed on farms use a dry contact pulse output, which means implementation is straightforward. "If it has a pulse output, we can make it smart," said Steve Flaherty, President of Agralarm. “Farms that currently rely on their environmental controllers for water data, or have no remote water monitoring, now have an alarm-capable option.”

The dry contact sensor has also been upgraded to handle up to three separate inputs simultaneously. Farms can now monitor a controller, a water pressure switch, and a power input all through the same device, web eliminating hardware cost while expanding what each sensor can do.

Custom call lists let farms assign different notification sequences to different locations or alarm types. A maintenance team can receive generator alarms without also being called for a temperature reading they're not responsible for. Larger operations with separate teams, multiple tenants, or independent farm sites can now run those under a single Agralink account with each group only hearing what's relevant to them.

A reporting add-on, System Snapshot Report, is an automated email that captures current sensor readings at any time of day or night. Farm operators, for instance, can send feed bin levels to their feed mill five times a day, eliminating the need for calls to coordinate deliveries.
