Control And Check Seed Fill With One Remote
Fill the planter and check on seed remaining in the seed buggy and planter units all from the same controller. Intercomp offers a full line of standard and custom load cells with a wireless junction box for on-board weight solutions. With their RFX wireless seed tender system and its optional transreceiver, you get control of all seed tender functions, as well as scales, in one wireless handheld unit.
  “The operator can use the remote to simply check weights. However, with a compatible wireless control package in place, he can also start/stop motors, control augers/conveyors, start and stop actuators, and more - up to 16 tender functions in all,” says Chris Zins, ag sales, Intercomp. “In the past, an operator may have been using multiple controls for tender functions and viewing weights. With ours, it is all in his hand.”
  Multiple boxes and bins can be numbered and tracked with the Intercomp wireless controller. It allows the operator to view individual weights for seed boxes, as well as the seed tender gross weight. The operator can also auto-dispense selected amounts of seed, shutting down the auger when preset seed weights have been reached. The operator can shut down the auger or close a gate and let the auger clean out before shut down.
  Zins says the company’s RFX wireless technology has been used in other industries including aviation, military and inventory management. While the company deals primarily with OEM’s, it plans to offer retrofitting packages in the future. Currently the remote only works with Intercomp’s compatible transceiver when controlling tender functions. However, it can be used with a variety of different load cells to monitor weights.
  “If you have a tender control system already in place, check with the dealer or manufacturer to see if it is compatible with our remote,” says Zins.
  Base systems start between $2,000 and $3,000.
