THE CLIENT:
AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY IN THE MIDWEST
| • |
The client has an agricultural operation with
1,500 acres and 8 irrigation pivots in Nebraska. His far flung operation was running him and his people ragged during the growing season. |
|
THE SITUATION:
| • |
The client wanted to monitor and control remote irrigation
pivots from his office and do so over the radio system he already had. |
• |
The client had the need to operate the pivots in a more
time efficient manner. He had signed up for load shedding with the local utility and need to know if the power goes off while his pivot were operating. |
• |
He knew too much time was being spent driving to the pivots to monitor them. |
• |
The client wanted to expand by leasing additional land but didn't know which parcel might become available. He needed a system that had the same range as the mobles in his two-way radio system (coverage he had to have for voice any way). |
THE SOLUTION:
| • |
Bytel provided it's BPM with an input functions to
monitor the pivots state and an output relay to shut the pivot down. |
• |
The BPMs monitor his pivots from the office, ranch house or the Pick-up sense the BPM Master can be transportable
. |
PRESENTLY:
| • |
The customer knows the status of each pivot, has the ability to poll them to prove the sites are responding and the data current. |
• |
If the weather changes suddenly he no longer needs to go to the pivot to shut it down. |
• |
The BPM can be moved from one type of duty to another providing grain bin blower status, security and effluent pump control. |
• |
Bytel has a web page BPM Pivot Monitor to more fully explain the Pivot Monitor. |
• |
Bytel also has different firmware loads for the BPM that provide several types of storage tank to pump(s) control links. |
