The new Wireless Smart Switch from Smart Ag LLC is an easy-to-use, inexpensive aftermarket device that enhances efficiency and control on the farm or in other agricultural and industrial work settings.
The Wireless Smart Switch adds a layer of control for workers using electronic equipment in farm applications, allowing them to remotely cut the power supply via a handheld controller in the event of an operational need.
In addition, the Wireless Smart Switch can be operated by as many as 20 controllers at one time, allowing multiple workers to remotely shut down paired machinery from as far away as 500 feet without having to physically return to the equipment and use built-in controls.
The Wireless Smart Switch unit is also highly portable and can easily be moved to and from different pieces of farm, processing plant or warehouse machinery in a matter of minutes. Although it can be permanently mounted, a magnetic back plate makes it easy to attach to any piece of metal equipment. The controller can be kept in a pocket or attached as a fob to a belt loop or keychain. In addition, the base unit, plugs and controllers are all weatherproof.
“The Wireless Smart Switch gives agricultural workers greater control over the equipment they use every day on the farm or in processing plants,” says Smart Ag LLC president Scott May. “It’s a simple, easy and inexpensive solution to what frequently can be a potential problem at the worksite: the need to quickly shut off power to a piece of operating machinery when there is no one standing right at the controls. It helps farmers improve their daily work processes and operate more efficiently by adding wireless control to any piece or line or electrically powered equipment that they currently use today.”
The Wireless Smart Switch is ETL-listed, conforms to UL 508A, and is certified to CSA STD C22.2#14. It not, however, designed to replace the primary safety features of existing equipment and should not be used as a primary safety device, emergency stop or E-stop.
