SubAir introduces TurfWatch technology

SubAir has introduced its new TurfWatch technology, a proprietary, patent-pending management application that provides turf professionals with real-time, instant access to subsoil conditions via smartphones, tablets or computers.

TurfWatch operations are designed to communicate subsurface conditions with the control center of an established, on-site SubAir system. The technology manages soil moisture, temperature and salinity levels, providing turf managers with data and equipment to maintain turf conditions.

Sensors placed in the subsoil relay data to the control center, where conditions are interpreted and recorded for moisture, salinity and temperature levels. If subsoil conditions vary from set parameters, the SubAir System can be engaged through the dedicated TurfWatch communications network to respond with appropriate operations to restore proper conditions.

TurfWatch Technology also retains cloud-based real-time and historical data, providing information on the impact of agronomic practices, natural phenomena and weather events on turf conditions.

The technology has already been put into practice for sports fields, including two World Cup soccer venues in Russia.

SubAir provides web-based technical support, as well a programmable scheduler and offers additional control options with TurfWatch.
