Hunter Industries has joined forces with turfgrass technology solutions leader POGO to bring new sensor and visual insight integrations to our best-in-class Pilot Network. Hunter’s robust irrigation control system effectively balances watering demands with flow capacities to determine the most efficient watering cycles possible. Best of all, the highly intuitive software is fully customizable according to the daily irrigation management needs of the golf course.
Integrating the hardware and data from POGO with the power and intuition of the Pilot Network will provide valuable insights that help golf course superintendents save time and resources. “POGO’s technology is the best in the market. Their approach fits well with our goal of making the superintendent’s life better through innovative and easy-to-use products. This visibility into what occurs between irrigation cycles is the logical next step in management,” said Jon Truttmann, director of golf irrigation at Hunter Industries.
POGO has grown into the premier monitoring and analysis system of the turfgrass industry. Today superintendents, field managers, and municipal grounds operators around the world use it to make smart irrigation decisions that produce healthy turf. The direct integration of this technology into the Pilot Network will make it that much easier to implement those decisions. According to Truttmann, partnering with a technology leader like POGO will allow Hunter to develop a comprehensive solution for golf course irrigation applications combining the best that both companies have to offer.
“We are absolutely thrilled that Hunter sees the same value for its customers, realizing that what happens between irrigation cycles is so vitally important. Being incredibly impressed with Hunter’s Pilot Network and seeing it as a large leap forward in our industry, we see great synergy in our technology relationship and look forward to where this takes us.” said Carmen Magro, vice-president at Stevens Water Monitoring Systems and leader of the POGO Division.
