Wirelessly Controlled Irrigation/Spray System

, , , ,
wireless remote control for irregation

A sprinkler system generally consists of a powerful pump – for example, the pump that pumps out the water from a ditch. When the computer indicates that the spray gun has finished with its program, the pump is expected to stop immediately.

This is done with the help of an Aquarius transmitter and an Aquarius receiver.

Aquarius M2M system

The Aquarius is programmed as a transmitter that receives a signal from the spray gun and sends it to the pump (at a distance of 700 meters!) which then directly shuts down. All this without human intervention, without the touch of a button.

This solution comes from the demand for a stable communication signal that the user can always trust. Tyro Remotes offers this guarantee with the M2M control systems based on the latest radiographic technology.

Machine-to-machine

The term ‘M2M’ or ‘Machine to Machine’ stands for the communication between machines without any human intervention.

Bale Wrapper Remotely Controlled

radio remote control for bale wrapper

In order to preserve the grass from the loss of nutrients, wrapping it into bales is a commonly used method. The bales are compressed with a round or square baler. By means of a bale wrapper, a tight layer of plastic foil is wrapped around the bale to turn it into silage.

Baling is a relatively new technique, introduced just over a decade ago. This means there are still major opportunities for increasing the value it provides to the farmer. Wireless control of the bale wrapping machinery has made the bale wrapping process a ‘one-man job’.

Wrapping of the hay bales

The baler lets the compressed bale lie untouched on the land. Then the bale loader picks up the bale and puts it on the wrapping table of the bale wrapper. The driver of the loader activates the wrapping process using a wireless remote control from its cabin. When the bale is wrapped, it is dropped on the ground with the help of a remote control. Afterwards, the next bale can be loaded on the wrapping table, and the above-mentioned cycle of wrapping and dropping the bale on the ground repeats itself.

Work more efficiently with a wireless radio remote

Before without the wireless radio remote, the driver needed to get off the loader and had to step in the tractor that drives the wrapper in order to manage the functions of the wrapper such as loading a new bale, wrapping, and then dropping it on the ground. Getting in and out of the tractor again and again was very inefficient for the driver.

Waterproof Aquarius receiver

The system that has been used in this project is called Pyxis/Aquarius. This system is very suitable for such applications. As the fine particles released mainly from the straw harvest can not penetrate the Aquarius receiver casing.

Limited range

Also, to make the bale wrapping process as safe as possible the remote has an out-of-range signal with a limited radius. When the loader is more than 75m away from the wrapping machine; the machine stops immediately. This is done to avoid the running of the machine without any supervision.

Advanced slurry pump with a filling station

, , , ,

Slurry mixing, pumping, filling-in, and separation (e.g. of stones), all this happens on the farm premises before the pump is disconnected and the slurry tank is taken to the fields. A specialized German machine manufacturer decided to make a filling station for the above-mentioned process.

Automated filling process with radio remote control

The filling station is both stationary and as well as mobile. Due to the help of a wireless M2M remote control, the filling process is fully automated.

Remotely activated slurry pump

The filling station comprises a pump that pumps out the slurry from the pit and a separator that filters it. After filtration, the pump fills the slurry in the tank. When the farmer or the contractor comes with the empty tank to the filling station, he docks the suction arm of the slurry tank to the pump. Thereafter, he activates the slurry pump with the compact hand-held transmitter. The pump starts filling the slurry into the tank.

Communication between the radio control receiver and transmitter

Once the slurry tank is full, a sensor sends an input signal to the M2M transmitter mounted on the slurry tank. This M2M transmitter then automatically with the help of wireless communication sends a signal to the M2M wireless receiver that is mounted on the pump. Once the signal is received, the pump gets turned off automatically.

No maintenance requiring cables

Without cumbersome and fragile cables, the whole filling process is wirelessly managed. This provides the user of the slurry tank the necessary time savings as he need not to monitor the filling process himself. This gives him the flexibility to go away from the pump with complete peace of mind!

Aquarius M2M system

The Aquarius/Aquarius M2M system is especially suitable for this application since the electronics of the receivers are 100% waterproof and are protected against the effects of dirt, moisture, and strong ammonia vapors. It is, therefore, an industrial wireless system that is perfect for this application.

Reliability and Safety for Concrete Pump Operators

Concrete pumping is heavy-duty work that leaves little room for disruptions or errors. Not only are operators in a potentially messy construction environment, but they are also subject to harsh or unpredictable weather conditions. Operators need job site tools that make concrete pumping more reliable, efficient, and safe for workers. Using a tool like our Concrete Pump Remote Control can help keep workers out of harm’s way and reduce workplace accidents by eliminating the need for operators to physically be near the pump.

Industrial Wireless Remote Control

Wireless remote controllers for concrete pumps are reliable and easy to use. Concrete Pump Remotes increase the mobility of workers on the job site, allowing for a better view of the work area. The operating range needs to be long enough to extend across the entire job site, and the signal needs to be maintained while operating the pump. With a radio remote control, projects can be completed faster without compromising safety.
