Telemetry, remote control and custom electronics
We design and build our own electronics, including the Modbee range of controllers. Together with RS485 and mesh radio networks, they put tank levels, pump status, pressures and alarms on your phone, and let you start, stop and adjust equipment without driving out to it.
What we do
- Modbee touchscreen controllers with a cellular connection
- Tank levels, pump status, pressure, flow and power readings on your phone
- Alarms by text, email and app notification
- Remote start, stop and setpoint changes, with local control kept on site
- Secure VPN connections to our own servers
- Connections to existing PLCs, drives and meters over Modbus
- RS485 and wireless mesh networks linking sensors, controllers and pumps across a site
- Custom electronics: controller boards and interfaces designed for the job when nothing off the shelf fits
- Wireless sensors for places without cable
Problems we solve
- Driving across the farm just to check a tank
- A pump fault that nobody notices until the next morning
- No record of how much water was taken, or when
Modbee is designed and built by us, so support comes from the people who made it.

Questions
What happens if the cellular connection drops?
The controller keeps running the site on its own. Only remote viewing and alerts pause until the connection comes back.
Will it work with my existing panel?
Usually. Modbee can read existing PLCs, drives and meters over Modbus, or be wired to the panel's own signals.
