Pump Tracking
The farmers are using several field equipments and costly assets,
the pump is one of them. A typical farm has several pieces of irrigation
equipment dispersed over a wide geography. Field managers must know at all times
if
any pump has shut down unexpectedly
any pump's fuel tank is low
the output water pressure on any pump has dropped
anything has gone wrong with any pump
In short, field managers must know if the pumps are operating
properly. Unfortunately, current methods for managing field pumps and irrigation
systems are manual, time-consuming and error-prone
Our Solution
GeotracK's Pump tracking is a
wireless Pump application
consists of:
-
A monitoring unit installed on the pump
An optional Ayantra-provided sensor to monitor water pressure
An Ayantra-provided website for full reporting & control
Real-time Alert Notifications delivered as text messages to cell phones; or
delivered via e-mail
Benefits:
Report unexpected Shutdowns: GeotracK's
Pump provides real-time Alert Notifications if a pump
unexpectedly shuts down.
Report water pressure problems: The optional water pressure
sensor can send real-time Alert Notifications if the output water pressure drops
below a user-defined threshold.
Maintenance Services: GeotracK's Pump
pump tracking service automatically reports each pump's current Engine
Run-Hours, and can issue 'Service Due' reminders when each pump is due for
maintenance.
Manpower: GeotracK's Pump can
eliminate unnecessary trips to collect hour-meter readings or to check the
pump's fuel tank.
Faults: GeotracK's Pump can
be connected to a pump's control panel to report upon any five user-defined
Faults. When a Fault occurs, FleetPump pump management can issue real-time Alert
Notifications in the form of text messages and/or as e-mail messages.
Low Pressure Alert: A water pressure sensor is optionally
available. The pressure sensor allows users to specify a minimum output water
pressure for each pump. If the water pressure drops below the threshold,
FleetPump pump tracking can send real-time Alert Notifications to the
appropriate individuals.
Battery Monitoring: The monitoring unit continually check's the
pump's battery. If the battery level drops too low, the monitoring unit will
send a 'Low Battery' Alert Notification. If it detects that the battery has been
disconnected, the monitoring unit will utilize its built-in backup battery to
continue operating, and to send a 'Battery Tamper' Alert Notification.
Backup Battery: The monitoring unit includes a built-in backup
battery that enables it to continue functioning if the main battery has failed
or been disconnected.
PowerSave Mode: The monitoring unit will automatically enter
its PowerSave mode after the pump's engine has been turned off. The PowerSave
mode reduces the monitoring unit's power consumption to protect the pump's
battery. All regularly-scheduled reports and alert notifications will continue
while the unit is in PowerSave mode.
Improve accountability and regulatory compliance:
GeotracK's Pump management solutions enables users to
identify when and where each pump was utilized. This information can help fleet
managers to optimize field operations, and it can also be used to meet
governmental reporting requirements, if required (notably for the California Air
Resources Board).
