Reinke Manufacturing, Freewave Technologies form partnership

Reinke Manufacturing, Deshler, Nebraska, and Freewave Technologies, Boulder, Colorado, formed a partnership to simplify data connectivity between irrigation systems and the cloud.

The collaboration enables growers to access real-time event-based irrigation data over a radio network, eliminating connectivity gaps.

“Reinke is always looking for ways to improve how data is gathered for growers,” says Reinke President Chris Roth. “FreeWave is also committed to this process. The irrigation system can be operated remotely from any place, at any time, giving the growers freedom and time savings.”

Freewave CEO Kirk Byles says the collaboration is just getting started.

“Using technology can quickly change business models for the better,” says Byles. “It’s great to see Reinke offering our data-connectivity solutions for growers. Together, we’re able to give them the ability to better focus on their fields and crops and have the data wherever they are, whenever they need it, to garner better yields. The ReinCloud Ready series of solutions is just the beginning of our partnership with Reinke.”
