Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing tilt monitoring and automatic safety shut-off for self-propelled irrigation towers

This invention describes a safety system for large, self-propelled irrigation towers that are connected together. It uses a sensor to continuously measure how much the tower is tilting. If the tilt exceeds a pre-set safe limit, the system automatically stops the tower's drive wheels and can also shut off the water supply to prevent damage or collapse.

Why it matters: The rapid advancement in ruggedized IoT sensors and edge computing for agricultural applications since 2023 could make deploying and maintaining such a safety system more cost-effective and reliable in remote settings.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
