TurfPod
- Receive live pitch data
- Make objective & pro-active decisions
- Increase resource efficiency
Built on everything we’ve learned
Completely rebuilt from the ground up, and based on extensive customer feedback, the improved TurfPod delivers reliable, real-time insights into the pitch microclimate.
Developed in-house, for real-world performance
Every component of the TurfPod has been redesigned to ensure consistent performance in demanding environments, minimising downtime and maximising data accuracy.
To ensure maximum reliability, the TurfPod has been extensively tested in stadium environments, delivering consistent, real-world performance even under the most demanding conditions.
What’s new?
TurfPod has been rebuilt from the ground up, featuring a completely redesigned and robust hardware exterior. The newly developed protective sleeve covers the pins when the TurfPod is not in use, ensuring a safer, more intuitive user experience.
TurfPod continues to measure the key parameters you rely on, and now connects seamlessly to TurfBase Sports via NFC, providing instant and actionable insights to support data-driven decision-making.
The redesigned TurfPod can be used alongside older versions.
We needed a monitoring tool to help us get a better understanding of the microclimate. Using the TurfPod recently resulted in a change in our irrigation plan for some parts of the pitch, after we discovered a difference in soil moisture. The data we receive is very valuable to see even the smallest change in growth factors, which can have a big impact on the pitch at the end.
Next level pitch management
With multiple TurfPods you are able to get a detailed overview of the microclimate on your playing surface. You can analyse the differences across the surface and act accordingly. You are able to monitor an unlimited number of surfaces. This means you can oversee the conditions of all playing surfaces of your sports facilities.
