FarmHQ
FarmHQ instantly adds real-time remote control and monitoring to any irrigation reel or pump.
How does it work?
Farmers growing a range of annual crops are using our FarmHQ cellular device and a mobile-friendly online platform to remotely monitor and control their mobile irrigation systems in real time.
Why is it needed?
It all started on our family farm. CODA Farm Technologies and the FarmHQ platform were born when our dad decided he had had enough of seeing our potato crops damaged by repeated timing errors, equipment failures, and miscommunication with his irrigation teams. Frustrated with the lack of options on the market for monitoring and controlling farm equipment like irrigation systems, dad asked us if we could come up with a solution. Over the next few months, we assembled ten working prototypes and coded the basic cloud infrastructure for the first version of FarmHQ. We installed the FarmHQ prototypes on four of our farm’s irrigation reels, three mobile, Diesel-powered water pumps, and three stationary, electric water pumps. Two different irrigation teams tested FarmHQ under a variety of different conditions throughout the growing season, providing a constant stream of feedback that we used to improve the devices and the code on an almost daily basis.
How does it improve life?
Our mission is to help farmers like us simplify their day-to-day work with affordable technology.
