The new smart control system allows operators to monitor and control the latest automatic Magna dryer models from Opico remotely via a mobile device.
Developed over the last two years and tested on farms across Europe and in the UK last season, the control panel features a 9.7” HMI interface and touch screen display.
Setting the dryer off is said to be straightforward as it is pre-programmed for a number of crops, although it can also be adjusted to suit bespoke requirements. Providing operator batch progress reports and machine alarms via SMS or email messages, the control system works with any mobile network or wi-fi (4G or above recommended for live data transfer).
“Operation, as well as technical support, can be actioned remotely – from general running to software updates,” comments, Angus Steven, Opico aftersales director. “Real time information cuts downtime and keeps drying operations running smoothly.”
