Toro unleashes Lynx Drive irrigation software

For superintendents who want control of their irrigation system anytime, anywhere, Toro recently launched its Lynx Drive irrigation software designed specifically for golf course superintendents.

The new Lynx Drive is a renewed system that puts irrigation management directly into the hands of superintendents and allows for real-time control on the go, faster response times and connected communication for precision and productivity. Now available, the system was first field tested on a wide range of courses.

"The new Lynx Drive system makes it possible to respond to issues in real time with nearly pinpoint accuracy while keeping the entire crew updated on needed actions," said Kyle Macdonald, superintendent at Bobby Jones Golf Course in Atlanta.

With Lynx Drive, superintendents can respond in real time to changing course and weather conditions and unexpected emergencies from any smartphone or tablet. The new streamlined layout focuses on the features used daily to optimize irrigation management. An intuitive display includes larger text and high-quality imagery with brighter colors for enhanced visibility and detail.

The Lynx Drive system helps keep the crew informed, minimizes delays and eliminates guesswork. The Smart Notes feature provides immediate communication with detailed notes and photographic images. The ability to include a device name makes it possible to identify who performed each action, while time-stamped photos add valuable detail. Smart Notes maintains a full notes history for up to one year.

Smart Notes and Flags help to pinpoint reports and match them to an exact station on the map, ensuring precise adjustments in the correct location. All alerts and a detailed course map are visible to the entire crew on both mobile and desktop platforms for fast, coordinated action. Expanded mapping enables users to include files that can be shared through mobile and desktop programs.

"This revolutionary system will change the way courses perform preventative and reactive maintenance, improving course conditions and crew collaboration," said John Dalman, senior product marketing manager at Toro.

Lynx Drive is compatible with two-wire Lynx Smart Module systems. Support for additional platforms will be introduced with future releases.
