The future of controllers is WiFi

Evaluating technological devices is a natural part of product development. With this in mind, we have started work to improve the functionality of our controllers. Over the dozen or so years that ELETOR has been in business, our devices for controlling ventilation and climate in livestock buildings have been modernised many times, both technically and in terms of software. Most changes were made in response to user feedback. There are currently tens of thousands of our devices operating in Poland. The percentage of warranty returns does not exceed 3 per mille (3 units per 1000 produced). Historical data also shows that, with correct operation and assuming all components supplied for production are free from manufacturing defects, our company's controllers operate without failure for at least 10 years. These encouraging figures open the way for us to develop the Speed Control series of controllers towards interactive connectivity. We would like to enable users to remotely monitor and analyse the data generated by the controllers. From their mobile phone or computer, each user will be able to check the current status of the devices, review how things have changed over time, for example, the temperature over the course of a week, or change the current settings. All this will be possible from anywhere in the world. This is the future of our controllers. How far away is it? We do not know yet, but we have set a goal and started working towards it. We have also prepared modules for WiFi communication and written an initial application for interactive communication with the controllers on our local network. So far, everything is working as we intended. We just need to keep moving in this direction, as it seems to be the right one.
