Continuing development of specific industry solution based products is their focus. Buddy Failsafe System designed to solve Dairy Effluent Compliance issues One of Attitude Switchboards hugely successful product designs has been the Gator Buddy an Effluent Fail-Safe system which has been proven in the field, is simple and effective in solving effluent compliance issues in the dairy industry. This product has been continually developed over the last 3 years to be as flexible as possible to work with travelling irrigators. Due to the demands and changes in the dairy industry the Pod Buddy monitoring system has also been developed for low application rate applicators (pods) which was added into the Buddy range recently. 
We took notice of what was happening on the farm "We were hearing stories of share milkers and farm managers looking after the irrigator personally, because they were not confident about relying on their staff to complete the task 100% right all the time. The fines are so high and they are getting targeted for prosecution as well as the farm owner. So we decided to design a Failsafe system so they can delegate the task to their workers and be assured they they will not have any problems saving valuable time and money. Also with the aid of the texting option and a high level warning float on the pond or sump they can be notified of any potential problem before it happens" Phil Finnie Strong Association with Major International Suppliers We are proud to be associated with ABB Limited as a 'Channel Partner' and we are an 'authorised seller' for their Variable Speed Drives.
