Agricultural Electronics
Pektron develops Agricultural Electronics for Vehicles including Tractors, Harvesters & Balers
Pektron has extensive electronics experience developing systems for agricultural vehicles, designing and developing modules that deliver a range of functions that include powertrain control, grain flow monitoring and hitch control.
These systems are used in the toughest, most demanding terrains and our stringent electrical and environmental testing ensures they can endure whatever the physical environment requires. Our in-house validation facility includes HALT, dust ingress, vibration and ingress protection, where we can ensure all our products meet the specific demands of each customer.
Agricultural Electronics
At Pektron, we design and develop a wide range of electronics modules for agricultural vehicles including:
Multi Function Controller
Pektron provide a range of universal modules for the control of vehicle and auxiliary systems on agricultural vehicles, including automatic, manual and CVT transmission control, Hitch Control, Shuttle Control, PTO (Power Take Off) Control, front and rear suspension, and body functions such as lighting, wipers and flashers. Whether you are looking at individual electronics modules or an entire vehicle electronics architecture we will be able to help.
Yield Sensing Systems
Yield sensing technology is key to the efficiency and economics of farming and our agricultural electronics deliver the ability to detect the grain delivery and report it back to the operator. Our smart system includes auto self calibration.
Pektron has over 20 years experience in developing electronic yield sensing technology.
Multi-Function Levers
The Man Machine Interface in agricultural vehicles is an integral part of the usability of our customers vehicles. We provide robust, practical solutions that ensure the technology is accessible for farmers operating complex operations from within the vehicle cab, such as press touch buttons easily used with gloved hands.
Instrument Clusters
Pektron has a wealth of experience in developing instrument clusters and TFT & LCD displays. We have provided screens for agricultural vehicles for over 20 years and understand the demands of the user and the environment and so can provide robust solutions that are practical and will survive in the field. All our systems are manufactured in a Class 6 clean room to ensure the highest quality for our customers.
Distributed Power Management
Pektron’s distributed power management systems employ solid state FET based technology to enable an agricultural vehicle architecture that has full diagnostics, self-monitoring and self-setting capabilities. With lowered energy consumption, increased reliability and configurable for different markets (ISO/NSAO) this system can deliver an efficient, cost-effective solution for customers.
Rigorous Testing & Validation
The testing and validation of our agricultural products is key and we have extensive on-site facilities that mean that we can ensure all our modules are fit for purpose and meet all the industry standards and customer requirements. Our testing equipment includes a HALT chamber, dust and ingress protection. Having the facilities on-site means that we can respond quickly to any changes and maintain complete control over quality.
Product Design Flexibility
Pektron’s electronics design is based on extensive experience and a library of proprietary technological building blocks which enables us to develop numerous variations if required. This flexibility has enables us to deliver over 168 active variants of an electronics control module, in one case.
Customer Profile
Our customer base includes manufacturers of tractors and other agricultural vehicles that we have worked with for over 30 years, not only developing new systems but also supporting them with spares and using our supply chain expertise to manage obsolescence.
Agricultural Electronics Latest Developments
We are currently working to proactively manage obsolescence within the agricultural vehicle arena, exploiting the functionality of new components and redesigning to improve efficiency and factor in future requirements.
