IOT Fleet Management for Trailed Equipment

Implemented on trailed equipment, HydraForce Internet of Things (IOT) technology improves reliability and availability and can even extend its lifetime. This is achieved by capturing and reporting operating data for equipment like balers/ wrappers, two behind sprayers, loader wagons, planter/seeders, tow behind harvesting and others. The result is enhanced control and improved asset utilization.

Many farms make substantial investments in agricultural machinery. IOT fleet management technology from HydraForce raises ROI by improving availability and reducing maintenance costs.

  • Monitoring and logging of key operating characteristics (cycles, hours, temperatures, pressures, vibration, etc.)
  • Reporting of key performance indicators
    Remote adjustment of on-board settings (maximum permitted speeds, loads, etc.)
  • Updating of onboard software
  • Geo-location
  • Reducing the risk of breakdown and preventing unnecessary maintenance
