SWYCH FOR
AGRICULTURE & AGTECH
Bolt a MD1/2 microPLC at the bore or the trough — wireless pump control and tank levels without SIM cards or subscriptions.
THE OLD WAY
- 01.Checking bore pumps and stock troughs manually burns diesel and daylight.
- 02.'Smart Farm' gadgets charge $30/month per SIM — across 20 assets that bill adds up fast.
- 03.When the cellular network drops out, cloud-dependent devices go silent.
THE SWYCH WAY
- 01.Drop-in MD1/2 microPLC: Mounts at the pump or tank, reads sensors via Modbus, and relays data wirelessly over LoRa or HaLow — no SIM card needed.
- 02.Relay outputs on-board: Wire a contactor to the MD1/2 microPLC to start/stop a bore pump from the homestead.
- 03.Runs on your own private network: If the internet goes down, your pumps and alarms still work locally.
- 04.No subscriptions, no lock-in: Buy the hardware once — data stays on your property or goes wherever you point it via MQTT or webAPI.
