The Smart Boom Controller brings modern, connected controls to boom irrigation, replacing outdated text-based systems with a visual, intuitive interface operators can learn in minutes. With a marine-grade outdoor display, auto-correcting position tracking, and remote access from any browser, operators spend less time at the panel and more time managing their crop.

Built-in AdeptAg+ connectivity means every boom is monitored from day one. Compatible with dual rail, tower, and gantry booms from any manufacturer running AC motors.

Details

  • Everything Is Named, Not Numbered

    No more figuring out what Relay 3 does. Every parameter is grouped by function and labeled in plain language — mist, drip, zone soak, boom speed. Operators see what a valve does, not which channel it's wired to.

    Set Up Irrigation Rules in Minutes

    Sensors at every span confirm position automatically. No drift, no missed zones, no re-homing after a power outage. The boom corrects itself, so your team doesn't have to.

    Built to Survive the Greenhouse

    Industrial-grade screen rated to 65°C, fully sealed against dust and water (IP65/IP67), and readable in direct sunlight. Built for the conditions you actually work in - heat, humidity, washdowns.

    Check It From Your Phone

    See what the boom is doing or make changes from any phone, tablet, or computer on the network — same screen you'd see at the panel. No app to install, no walking across the greenhouse.

    See How Well Your Boom Is Actually Running

    Built-in performance tracking shows uptime, efficiency, and irrigation quality over time. Growers can see exactly how much of their boom capacity they're using — and where time and water are being wasted.

  • Auto Park

    If the boom sits idle for a set amount of time, it automatically moves itself to the park location — keeping it out of the way and in a known position.

    Auto Position Correction

    The boom is taught the post lines of the greenhouse. Every time a post line is triggered, the boom compares its location against the taught position and corrects itself — ensuring repeatable accuracy pass after pass.

    Queue Control

    Add, modify, or remove auto rules from the queue on the fly —adjust the irrigation plan in real time without stopping the system.

    Motor Configuration

    Adaptable to any AC motor and gearbox combination — it works with whatever drive system is on the boom.

    Auto Home

    After the boom has traveled a set distance, it automatically re-homes to maintain positional accuracy over time.

    Power Recovery

    If the boom loses power while running in Auto Mode, it picks upright where it left off on the next power-up — resuming its auto rules and correcting its position through Auto Home.

    Alarms & Historical Records

    The controller keeps a running record of faults and auto rule progression — giving the grower a clear history of what happened and when.

    Imperial & Metric Units

    The system is fully configurable in imperial or metric units — growers work in whichever measurement system they prefer.

What the Smart Boom Controller Can Handle

smart boom controller
12
Valves

Control up to 12 valves per controller — enough to handle multiple application types across the full bay.

Zones Per Row

Define up to 40 zones in a single row, giving precise control over where and how water is applied.

8
Rows

Split the greenhouse bay into up to 8 rows, each with its own zone layout and watering treatment.

Auto Rules Smart Boom Controller
20
Schedules & Presets

Build up to 20 independent schedules and save up to 20 water presets — pre-configured application styles and rates ready to assign to any zone, covering every crop and time of day.

20
Crops

Group zones by crop type — up to 20 crops — so similar zones share the same watering rules automatically.

50
Auto Rules

Set up to 50 automation rules that let the system respond on its own — triggers based on conditions, time, or events that keep irrigation running without manual intervention.

Is the Smart Boom Right for My Operation?

Yes. One boom, one schedule, one zone. Smart Boom Controller makes this dead simple —set two points in the bay, trigger passes manually or on a schedule, and the boom lays down water exactly where it needs to go. Set it up once and it runs.
Yes. It works with multiple crops or growing stages under the same boom, each needing different water amounts at different times of day. Smart Boom Controller handles zoned irrigation with guided scheduling — the operator builds rules zone by zone, and the system keeps everything on track without confusion.
Yes. You can have dozens of booms across multiple ranges, each with different crops, different zones, and different schedules that change throughout the season. Smart Boom Controller gives these operations centralized visibility through AdeptAg+ — see every boom's status, performance, and schedule from one place, and adjust remotely instead of walking range to range.
