Optimizing Job Site Performance with Generator Control

In today’s fast-paced mobile equipment landscape, efficiency and reliability are key to maximizing productivity and return on investment. One of the most impactful advancements in this regard is the ability to automatically start and stop generators supplying power to mobile and rental equipment. This capability optimizes job site performance and significantly increases operational efficiency, leading to a higher rate of return on investment.

Importance of Reliable Communication

Reliable communication between the controller and the generator is crucial for generators to function effectively, especially those that are mechanically or electronically governed. Any lapse in communication can lead to downtime, reducing productivity and increasing costs. Ensuring seamless interaction between the control systems and the generators is paramount for maintaining a consistent power supply and operational efficiency.

Durability in Harsh Environments

Generators often operate in challenging environments, exposed to harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, dust, and extreme temperatures. Controllers used to power these solutions must be exceptionally durable and designed to withstand these elements. Robust construction and advanced engineering ensure that these control systems can perform reliably, no matter the environmental conditions.

Efficient Controllers for OEMs

By integrating advanced controllers into mobile generators, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can monitor and manage generator performance from virtually anywhere. This integration offers several significant benefits:

Better Management of Start/Stop Times: Control solutions enable precise management of when generators start and stop, optimizing their use and reducing unnecessary run times.

Fuel Consumption Adjustment: Efficiently managing fuel consumption is critical for cost savings. Advanced control systems can adjust fuel usage based on real-time data and operational needs.

Issue Diagnosis: Early detection and diagnosis of potential issues can prevent costly breakdowns. By adding telemetry devices with remote monitoring capabilities, controllers allow for real-time diagnostics, helping to identify and address problems before they escalate.

Reducing Downtime and Increasing Efficiency

One of the most significant advantages of integrating control solutions into mobile generators is the reduction of downtime. With real-time adjustments, these systems ensure that generators are always operating at their best. This reliability translates into less downtime for mobile equipment, enhancing overall job site productivity.

The ability to manage generators brings a new level of efficiency and reliability to job sites. OEMs can achieve significant cost savings and operational improvements by ensuring robust communication, durability in harsh environments, and comprehensive remote monitoring. These advancements enhance performance and provide a competitive edge in today’s demanding industrial landscape.

Self-driving Robotti

AGROINTELLI from Denmark is a development company for sustainable farming. It devises advanced products and new technological applications that reduce risk and effort for modern agricultural farmers. One of these products is the agricultural robot: Robotti.

This robot can sow, spray, and even weed autonomously. With its GPS connection and exact data, it gives valuable information to the farmer.

Tablet or smartphone

The control is done via an app on a phone or tablet. This machine ensures greater efficiency in the field and thus saves the farmer money and time.

Safety first

Safety has been very important in the development of the Robotti. An emergency stop has been added, allowing the driver to stop the robot remotely in case of an emergency situation. The choice was made for the Indus emergency stop by Tyro Remotes, which reacts within 0.5 seconds and is impact and shock resistant. The Indus remote control is supplied together with the Gemini receiver and meets the strict safety requirements of Performance Level c (PLc).

Professional wood-splitting using a radio remote – Forestry

, , , ,

A trend that we as exhibitors saw at the last ‘Agritechnica’ trade fair in Hanover is the rediscovery of wood for heating and generating electricity. Wood is gaining a lot of popularity as a renewable energy source and its financial advantages.

Log-splitter

Special forestry machines are used for both the preservation and processing of wood. An example of such a machine is a log splitter, which helps cut the tree trunks into small pieces.

Forestry machines are remotely controlled

Splitters are hydraulically driven. They split logs in a vertical or horizontal position. A thick tree trunk is very heavy, and therefore, to simplify the transportation of those thick trunks to the splitter, a compact winch is mounted on the machine.

Fornax Safe remote control

The manufacturer of log splitters uses the Tyro Fornax Basic / Aquarius remote control for this application.

Radio remote attached to a belt

When dragging the tree trunks, it is essential to position them correctly on the splitter. Using a belt-clip, the operator can attach the remote to his belt. This makes it easier for him to use the remote control when required to adjust the position of the tree trunk. He can now operate the winch to pull the tree trunk and position it as desired without going back and forth to the splitting machine. Thus, having a Tyro remote is a definite plus in terms of comfort and convenience, with a positive effect on productivity.
