Dataflow Systems have been developing and manufacturing low cost electronic sensors and data recorders for use in environmental monitoring applications since 1981.
This equipment is being used world wide for government scientific research and private environmental measurement applications. The release of Dataflow's low cost capacitance water level measurement probe and the first model single channel data recorder in 1987 created a world wide market as a simple solution for continuous monitoring of ground water movement at an affordable price.
The most significant advantage was the ability to continuously record ground water movements with greater detail than ever before. As a result, this water level probe is now used in large numbers world wide for ground water monitoring, surface water measurements and flow recording.
After numerous requests by government groups in 1986 and 1987, Dataflow Systems developed a low cost soil moisture sensor for research applications. This sensor provided a base for the company to independently carry on further research and develop new products for soil moisture measurement and irrigation management.
About Company
The Gopher® soil moisture profiling system, since it's release in 1996 has quickly been accepted world wide as an affordable and extremely accurate soil moisture measurement system for irrigation management. The Gopher® is successfully used in industry research as well as irrigation management by crop growers world wide.
Following the outstanding success of the Gopher®, the Micro-Gopher® was released, providing a simple method of access tube installation, ensuring minimal soil disturbance and root structure damage. The most significant feature of the Micro-Gopher® is the small size of the sensor which uses 15mm PVC access tubes compared to the 50mm PVC access tubes used by the Gopher®. The Micro-Gopher® sensor size is nearly three times smaller than the Gopher® sensor.
A unique range of data recording systems was launched late 2001 under the banner of Odyssey™ data recording featuring an encapsulated housing containing the logger and sensor combined. These unique low cost systems have been quickly accepted by the industry because of their simple design, outstanding performance and exceptional value. The range includes capacitive water level, pressure sensor water level, soil moisture, underwater temperature, photosynthetic irradiance, salinity and tipping bucket rain gauge.
The newly released Odyssey™ Green Light-Red Light™ is a simple to operate soil moisture monitoring product - an instant reading probe with an option of continuous recording utilising the Odyssey™ data recorder. The Odyssey™ Green Light-Red Light™ is low cost and exceptional value , appealing to all crop growers and research groups because of it’s simplicity.
