Optimise energy consumption by using our new rig deployment and shade analysis features

13 oktober, 2022

Our new rig deployment module allows you to place and record where you position your lighting rigs on the pitch. A monthly shade analysis will give you indications on the need for artificial lighting for a sound and healthy grass growth. Combined, these two features would allow you to save on energy and artificial lighting time.  

As you can see from the images, dark green indicates the need for less input and yellow indicates the need for higher input.

The placement locations are based off the DLI (daily light integral) recommendations for the time of year and from your shade analysis report which Turfpal offers as a service.

By simply clicking on the light rig menu, you will be able to launch it onto the pitch. You can then move it around to the correct placement and hit the play button to turn it on remotely. The location is then recorded. When the required DLI input is reached, the colour on the image will turn more to green until the required input for that period is reached.

Given that energy savings is a priority, utilising this feature will enable you to record placement of the rigs and optimise usage for the areas of the pitch where it is really needed and when it is required. If you would like a demonstration or further information, please get in touch with us at post@turfpal.com.
