The digital age has ushered in a transition to a wireless world. From phones to farming, every industry has slowly made the switch to wireless technology. Intelligent Ag’s Recon Wireless Blockage and Flow Monitor combines simplicity and reliability and offers several advantages over wired blockage monitors.

The main difference between wireless and wired systems is the type of sensors they use. Intelligent Ag’s wireless system uses patented acoustic sensors, which are mechanical and don’t require a power source. On the other hand, wired systems use electric optical sensors that require a series of daisy-chain wiring, which, when exposed to the elements, can erode over time and cause a number of issues.

The intricacies of an electrical system can also make it harder to diagnose if there is a problem and determine the source of it. With Intelligent Ag’s mechanical sensors, power loss is never an issue. This makes it much easier to pinpoint whether a problem stems from the sensor or somewhere else in the manifold.

Maintenance cost savings is another benefit of a wireless system. Like any type of electronics, optical sensors are not easy to repair, and they’re costly to replace. Intelligent Ag’s acoustic sensors are simple to install and less expensive to replace.

The Recon Wireless Blockage and Flow Monitor acts as its own WiFi hotspot. No matter the weather or location of the field, it provides a dependable connection to send information from the equipment to the Recon iPad app in the cab. This combination of user-friendly software and simple yet reliable hardware gives the Recon Wireless Blockage and Flow Monitor key advances over wired systems, including the most important: peace of mind.
