Remote control as part of innovation in leek cultivation [video]

/in , , , , , , ,

The research station for vegetable cultivation (PSKW) in Belgium is a test facility focused on research, development, and innovation in the agricultural sector. The organization has recently provided a Tyro wireless remote control on a New Holland tractor. In combination with a GPS system, one person is less required for leek cultivation. This is not only during harvesting but for all tasks at the testing facility.

Leek cultivation with the assistance of a remote control.

The New Holland tractor is operated by a GPS in the tractor. This system steers the wheels of the tractor automatically. A preset line is followed, which is also followed when planting the leeks. By applying the necessary safety measures no one is required to sit in the tractor. The GPS system, combined with our wireless Pyxis remote control, allows the tractor to carry out all types of actions.

 

Operate a tractor with a remote control

Due to the 8 functions of the remote control, the driver can stop the tractor, drive it in reverse, and then drive forward. When the ground is wet the tractor must be driven slower and when on dry ground the driving speed can be increased. Next to that, the drives of the machine can be switched on or off, and with the assistance of the remote control the machine is lowered and then raised again.

Tyro remote controls are used in very tough applications.

 

Safety

By pressing the stop button on the top side of the controls everything switches off immediately. The tractor is provided with an obstacle safety provision that stops the tractor if a part breaks down. As an extra safety measure, the range is set to +/- 30 meters; the system immediately cuts out as soon as there is no contact between the remote control and the receiver. 

List of functions

  • Forward drive, reverse drive
  • Start, stop
  • Speeding up, slowing down
  • Pto shaft in/out
  • Stop button: The motor of the tractor completely shut down
  • Out-of-range protection

Video of application

Below is a short video in which the remote control is used for harvesting leeks. Here you can see that the leek falls onto a conveyor belt. The leek is then taken from here and placed in a metal box. As soon as this is full a new box will be loaded and can be driven further.

The wireless control is not only used for harvesting but also when planting, sowing, and hoeing of the leek. In the meantime, the PSKW has also provided their other tractors with a Tyro remote control.

Reliability and Safety for Concrete Pump Operators
/in , , ,
Areal view of a construction site where workers in blue uniforms and yellow hard hats are using a concrete pump.

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. 

Pump Boss™ Concrete Pump Remote Control

Make your construction project easier than ever with Pump Boss — your go-to solution for all your wireless remote control needs. Designed to meet demanding construction environments, our radio remote controls increase productivity by making concrete pumping a one-person job. A concrete pump remote control provides direct and immediate control of the pump from the point of delivery.

Service vehicle equipped with Tyro remote control

/in , , , , , ,

Arcxis, located in Belgium, specializes in fitting out commercial vehicles. For one of their customers, they have fitted out a service vehicle that uses a remote control by Tyro Remotes.

The commercial vehicle is fully equipped to provide maintenance and servicing for semi-trailers and trailers on the road should they run into problems. This vehicle is equipped with hose reels for compressed air, gas, and oxygen so that welding or other necessary repairs can also be carried out on the road.

The Pyxis 8F remote control in combination with the Aquarius 10F receiver is specifically configured for the 24V cable reel. The cable reel with 20 meters cable and 13-pin plug is used to control the lighting on e.g. a trailer. With the remote control in your hand, you can stand behind the trailer to easily and efficiently test the lighting.

Temperature measurement in livestock cargo

/in , , ,

In animal transport, the temperature inside the cargo should legally meet certain standards. The temperature is measured by a sensor and can be read in the cabin. For such an application you need a duplex remote.

A Tyro remote has already been used for the operation of valves, bulkheads, shaft, and the fan, therefore, it was a small step for Tyro to make a duplex remote control with a display to read the temperature on the transmitter. By doing that, Tyro made it possible to read the temperature on the transmitter!

Reliable, safe, and custom-made are the core values of the tyro remotes.

This project shows our core value that we are good at customization. The other two values that our products are reliable and safe are evident from the rapid growth of our organization, various certifications that we have, and our reputed client base.

Many customers are also attracted to Tyro’s flexibility as an organization and as a manufacturer of industrial remote controls. At tyro, customer-specific modifications can be achieved quickly and cost-effectively.
