Agribusiness Monitoring
Innovate in Agribusiness Monitoring with IoT solutions: control, efficiency and productivity for agricultural machinery, equipment and operations.
Challenge
Overcome constant power outages and monitor various operations such as silos, bin openings, truck entry and exit sensors, and grain elevator actuators.
Solution
Having its own batteries, it is immune to precarious power supply situations and can operate with autonomy of up to 72 hours, even using 3G/4G cellular communication.
With the need to monitor multiple digital signals in remote locations, our client sought a solution that could unify data while meeting the diverse network topologies of its operation. Above-Net solved the problem using the AND-AM142 Modbus RTU converter connected to a gateway specific to each client's network scenario.
This sends the data to Bridgemeter, our industrial IoT solution, where users can access their personalized monitoring dashboard, with analog and digital displays of information, as well as historical data, graphs, and predictive analysis.
Monitoring is done through the cloud platform, generating real-time alerts about changes in the operating conditions of machines or equipment.
Some prerequisites were essential for the solution to work, including:
- Silo Monitoring
- Opening of Bins
- Truck entry and exit sensors
- Grain elevator drives.
- Independent battery
The products and systems involved in the solution are industrial and prepared for critical operations and large volumes of connections:
- Robustel R3000-L3P – Dual-SIM Cellular Router with 1 Serial Port and 1 Ethernet Port
- AND-142M – converter module with 24 digital inputs and Modbus RTU communication
- ANH-I140 – analog/digital module with 4 analog current inputs (0/4 to 20mA)
With in-depth experience in developing mobility solutions and integrating complex systems, Above-Net is able to overcome project integration and implementation challenges.
