Lewis Forge Field Link · wireless remote I/O

Stop driving outto check.

Field Link puts pumps, tanks, gates and alarms on a long-range wireless link. See their status from the office, or remotely over cellular, without trenching new wire.

How it connects

One gateway, many field points.

Field nodes at an irrigation pump, a tank and a gate send status over LoRa to one gateway per site, which reports to an office PC or over cellular to a cloud MQTT server
On the farm
  • Irrigation pump running or faulted
  • Well and tank levels
  • Grain bin fans and dryers
  • Gate, door and fence alarms
At the plant
  • Lift stations and sump pumps
  • Tank and silo levels
  • Dust collectors and fans
  • Remote alarms across the yard

Run a pilot season with us.

Site walk and radio check

We walk your site and test radio coverage from the gateway to each point you want to watch.

Your electrician installs it, we commission it

Nodes wire into your existing 24 VDC panels and field signals. We set up the radios and gateway and start it up with you. One gateway covers the site.

Run a season

Use it day to day and tell us what to change. Pilot feedback shapes the finished product.
