Long Ranger Watering using Tyro M2M system

Irrigation of Dutch tulips using M2M

A well-known supplier of irrigation systems and water pumps. In addition, they also maintain agricultural machinery for farmers from the region. We had the opportunity to take a look at a recently delivered system. What we did not know beforehand was that we ended up in beautiful surroundings with stunning, colourful tulip fields.

Cogem water pump and irrigation hose reel from AP

The mechanisation firm has already provided pumps from Cogem and irrigation drums from AP with our M2M system on a number of occasions. In their own workshop, they provide the pumps and reels with an Aquarius M2M transmitter.

Cogem is an Italian manufacturer that delivers generators and pumps on a global scale. Almost every pump has a remote control, which is brand-independent.

AP Mechanical Engineering specializes in the production of machines for the agricultural sector. The irrigation drums of AP are a well-known sight in the countryside. The M2M system, which is explained in more detail below, can also be applied to irrigation drums of other brands.

Operating the M2M system

The system works as follows: The irrigation reel is used to set the length of time the tulips are to be irrigated. As soon as no more irrigation is required, the system sends a signal to the receiver on the pump. The pump is then switched off.

Some systems also come with an additional hand transmitter. This allows you to manually adjust the number of speeds from the tulip field or switch off the system. The distance from the reel to the pump is, in many cases, several hundred meters. The farmer regularly has to move the sprinkler or switch it off. Nothing is more convenient than being able to do this remotely using a remote control.

Mobile Air Compressor Control

Complete Control Solution for Compact Mobile Equipment

Mobile air compressors are compact, portable machines designed to generate compressed air for various applications across construction, mining, agriculture, and manufacturing industries. These compressors are typically mounted on trailers or skid frames, making them easily transported to job sites and offering efficiency and mobility for demanding environments. OEMs, distributors, and rental equipment operators rely on the air compressor’s ability to operate in remote locations and adapt to various tasks.

 

Fully Integrated and Comprehensive Solution

We offer an integrated engine and compressor control solution for mobile air compressors, including a robust engine controller, remote control, telemetry, and monitoring.

 

Engine Control 

A DynaGen™ engine controller provides an easy-to-use, integrated control panel for mobile air compressors. Its rugged design ensures it can safely and reliably operate in extreme environmental conditions often found in job sites where air compressors are used. Here are just a few of the things that a DynaGen controller can manage:

remoteiq, dynagen, tyro and messenger ble
  • Throttle control
  • Automatic load/unloading of the compressor
  • Display machine air pressure
  • Auto throttle speed to maintain air pressure
  • Control the engine warmup based on the engine coolant temperature
  • Monitor and protect the compressor oil temperature

 

Remote Control  

In addition to the DynaGen controller, air compressors can be equipped with a Tyro™ handheld radio remote control system. Integrating remote controls enables the operator to control functions such as engine start/stop, IDLE rate speed control, and light control from the convenience of a handheld transmitter. This allows workers to operate the machinery from a safe and efficient distance.

 

Remote Monitoring  

DynaGen controllers are also telemetry-ready, should you want to introduce remote monitoring capabilities. Our RemoteIQ™ cloud-based platform provides a secure and cost-effective way to optimize the management of a single machine or an entire fleet of air compressors with GPS location tracking, real-time equipment status, and alert notifications.

Remote monitoring allows operators to access real-time data at any time, from anywhere, on any laptop or mobile device. It alerts the operator to potential issues before they cause damage, ultimately prolonging the compressor’s lifespan and ensuring reliability in demanding conditions.

 

Ease of Integration and Added Value 

What sets us apart is our extensive knowledge of control products and the ability to integrate engine control, radio remote control, and telemetry into a combined solution that improves the air compressor’s performance and simplifies its operation. A single-control solution provides simplicity and increases operator safety while improving overall machine efficiency. For OEMs and distributors looking to enhance their brand, private labeling, incorporating a company’s brand identity, such as name, logo, and color palette, is available.
