Patent number: 10085392Abstract: A control system for a low-volume irrigation system includes a plurality of valve controllers for opening and closing valves; an irrigation system controller for controlling the valve controllers in accordance with an irrigation plan; and a graphical user interface for allowing a user to interact with the irrigation controller and to create the irrigation plan. The graphical user interface displays an irrigation zone list, an irrigation set list, and an irrigation plan field. The user interface has drag and drop functionality that permits an irrigation zone listing from the irrigation zone list to be dragged and dropped into any of the irrigation set listings in the irrigation set list and that permits an irrigation zone listing or an irrigation set listing to be dragged and dropped into the irrigation plan to create irrigation steps within the irrigation plan.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Lindsay CorporationInventors: Ward V. Neesen, Reece R. Andrews, Brant Burkey

Patent number: 9149013Abstract: A system for managing irrigation equipment comprises a first irrigation system for applying water in a first irrigated area, a second irrigation system for applying water in a second irrigated area, a control system for controlling the irrigation systems, and a user interface for enabling a user to configure the control system. The user interface presents a map view of a geographic area including the irrigated areas and includes a first graphical element corresponding to the first irrigation system and a second graphical element corresponding to the second irrigation system. The user interface further presents a first interactive control panel for controlling the first irrigation system concurrently with the map view when the user selects the first graphical element, and presents a second interactive control panel for controlling the second irrigation system concurrently with the map view when the user selects the second graphical element.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Lindsay CorporationInventor: Reece R.

Publication number: 20140039695Abstract: An irrigation management system includes a monitoring system, a controller and a user interface. The monitoring system monitors an operational status of the irrigation system, including a current position, a travel status, a direction of travel, and a fault status. The user interface displays a map view of a geographic area including an irrigated area corresponding to the irrigation system. A graphical element in the map view provides a visual indication of the operational status of the irrigation system. The controller receives monitoring information from the monitoring system and continuously updates the user interface to reflect changes in the operational status of the irrigation system, such that the graphical element reflects a current status of the irrigation system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2012Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: LINDSAY CORPORATIONInventor: Reece R.
