Smart System for motor remote control and protection
Here are a few points from my view:
SMS based remote monitoring & control systems suffer from a few major disadvantages:
1. SMS is slow - Takes 10 to 15 seconds to get delivered. Also if there is a network coverage issue, only God knows when it will be delivered!
2. SMS is not guaranteed to deliver sequentially - Affects user experience in many different ways!!
eg: Consider the device sends an SMS message to user when motor is stopped (Message 1) and another SMS when motor is started (Message 2).
Now if Message 2 gets delivered to our phone first and Message 1 later, a typical user can be easily fooled. He will think that the motor is stopped while it is actually running, because thats the message from the device he got last -
Leading to tremendous waste of energy and other unwanted problems!!
Even though the SMS sent by devices may contain time information, it will be hard for the user to distinguish.
While making these devices internet based is the permanent solution for this, farmers who are the majority customers for such products are still not so tech savvy.
So we need to stick on to SMS / missed calls!!
The Pumper series of products from Pottas Electronics is a smart GSM based motor control and protection system that overcome these problems.
- They have come up with an innovative solution for this by introducing SMS stamping technique in their products. This technology ensures that your phone process only the last sent SMS from the device. and the device process only the last sent SMS from your phone. The user will not be even aware that they get this advantage!! SMART!!
- Pumper offers motor protection from Dryrun, Over load, single phasing, phase reversal & voltage imbalances.
- If you have a smart phone, you can also use the smart Android application 'Pumper App' (available in play store) which features animated notifications for better motor status monitoring. You can see a white motor icon rotating on the notification bar while the motor is running, or a red icon when the system detects any motor faults.
- Pumper automatically detects smart phone and non-smart phone users. Non-smart phone users get motor status alerts in their SMS inbox, while smart phone users get all motor status as app notifications. Even the app need not be opened for this. COOL!
