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.

Industrial remote controls for wine pumps – Winery

/in , ,

You may think wine is just wine and has been for centuries. In the age of technological advancements, wineries are not left behind.

Today, we’re focusing on a game-changer in wine production – using industrial remote-control systems to operate wine pumps.
This innovation enhances efficiency, reduces oxygenation, and improves the quality of your favorite wines.

Understanding Industrial Remote Control Systems

To better understand the impact of industrial remote control systems in wineries, let’s first understand what they are and how they work.

What is a wine pump?

A wine pump is a versatile industrial pump, often mobile, used in wineries for a variety of different tasks in and around wineries:

Render of a wine pump

  • To gently transport grapes without breaking them.
  • To (over)pump must, the freshly pressed but not yet fermented juice of grapes.
  • To transport wine from tanks towards storage, cooling, blending, and bottling.
  • Pumping out sediment remaining in the tanks.

The wine pump is a versatile compact machine that ensures that the quality of the wine remains as good as possible. Therefore, the pumps must meet high standards with unique requirements so that the grapes and liquids do not shake and pulsate too much during pumping (transport). All of this will affect the quality of the wine.

How does it work?

Wine pumps use a wireless transmitter to remotely operate the pumps used in wine production. The system works through radio frequency, which allows for seamless communication between the transmitter and receiver.

With this technology, operators can start, stop, and adjust the speed of pumps from a safe distance. This eliminates the need for manual operation, reducing the risks associated with exposure to chemicals and other hazards in the winery.

Reducing Oxygenation

One of the most significant challenges in wine production is oxygen exposure. When wines are exposed to oxygen, they can develop undesirable flavors and aromas. To prevent this, wineries must minimize the contact between wine and air during production.

Industrial remote control systems play a crucial role in reducing oxygen exposure. By being able to remotely operate pumps, operators can adjust speeds as needed to maintain constant levels of flow. This ensures minimal agitation of the wine, which reduces the risk of oxygenation. This feature ensures your wine maintains its freshness, flavor, and color, offering a superior tasting experience.

Enhancing Efficiency

The use of industrial remote control systems in wineries has significantly improved efficiency. With traditional methods, operators had to physically move from one pump to another to monitor and adjust their speeds. This process was time-consuming and often led to delays in production.

With remote control systems, operators can now control multiple pumps simultaneously, making the process faster and more streamlined. This not only saves time but also reduces labor costs for wineries.

Here’s how …

Trailer maintenance can become like vehicle maintenance

When your truck is due for an oil change, the service center is going to rotate your tire, and you know it’s time because you glance at your odometer. You don’t worry about how many times you’ve used the truck. You don’t search for the paperwork with your last oil change date.

So, when was the last time you rotated your trailer tires? How long has it been since you repacked bearings? Are there any other systems you should be checking?

How soon should your trailer customer come back in for maintenance?

Most trailer tire manufacturers recommend a 5000-mile tire rotation. Easy! With the Trailer Life Meter. And that’s a great time to do a full inspection, too.

A sound investment in growing the dealer’s Service department

Trailer dealers are building a competitive edge by investing in their Service business. Dedicated space, tools, experienced technicians, training, and certifications. So what happens when you aren’t fully utilizing that capability? When customers just aren’t coming in for service?

When creating a maintenance schedule, put a mile-based service interval for each service your dealership provides. Compare it to your fee schedule. Now you can start counting how much your service business might increase if you sell trailers equipped with the Trailer Life Meter!

No hassle, easy-to-use device – mounted once, then brings them back

The Trailer Life Meter itself needs no maintenance. There is no battery. It withstands the harsh conditions your trailers face on a daily basis.

It’s an always present, visible reminder of when that next trip to the dealer should be.
