Track every drip line roll, emitter lot and valve from resin intake to the field project.

Irrigation products are small, numerous and sold by the field. One project can call for thousands of metres of drip line plus hundreds of fittings. Filters and valves must match the layout. If one tee, filter or valve is short when the truck is loaded for the dealer’s depot, the whole kit waits and the farmer misses the planting date.

Software for irrigation makers keeps the resin lot, the emitter flow result and the roll length on the same record. Nothing gets retyped between shops. Tell us how the extrusion lines, moulding bays, test bench and kit packing table run, and each of them gets its own screen on that record.

Resin arrives in bags or silos with a lot number and a melt index. The extrusion line makes drip tube with emitters bonded inside at a set spacing. Operators check wall thickness, emitter pitch and the flow from a sample of emitters on the test bench, and write each reading on a sheet beside the machine. Finished tube is wound on rolls of a stated length. The injection moulding bays turn out fittings, filters and valves, each with its own cycle time and cavity count.

Dealers send field layouts, with plot dimensions, row spacing, flow and pressure. The design desk turns each layout into a bill of lines, fittings, filters and valves. Packers collect the kit, check counts and label it by plot. Spares for old projects return in the next season, usually by emitter type and tube diameter. Old questions need old records.
