Remote Control & Automation
Go beyond passive monitoring and turn your data into action. The Augos Remote Control & Automation solution closes the loop, enabling our intelligent platform to automatically control physical equipment like pumps, valves, and industrial machinery based on sensor data, schedules, or user commands.
The Solution: From Actionable Insight to Automated Action
Monitoring your assets and environment is the first step. True operational transformation comes when you can act on that information instantly and automatically. The Augos Remote Control & Automation capability is what closes the loop in your IoT system, moving from passive data collection to active, intelligent intervention.
Regional Insight
For businesses in South Africa dealing with unstable power grids and complex Time-of-Use tariffs, automation is key to cost management. Automating the shutdown of non-essential loads during peak periods can reduce energy costs by 15-20% without requiring any manual intervention.
Our Control & Automation Capabilities
Comprehensive control solutions to automate operations, reduce costs, and optimize equipment performance.
Intelligent Electrical Control
Gain remote and automated control over any electrical circuit. Use our rugged smart switches to manage lighting, pumps, heaters, and contactors. Automatically shed non-critical loads during peak demand or loadshedding events, and run equipment only during cheap tariff periods.
Automated Irrigation & Flow Control
Enable data-driven water management. Our battery and solar-powered valve controllers allow you to automate irrigation schedules based on soil moisture data or simple timers, ensuring precise water delivery to remote fields and zones without costly cabling.
Advanced Industrial Integration (Modbus)
Achieve deep integration with your core operational machinery. Our Modbus-capable gateways allow the platform to communicate directly with industrial devices like VSDs, PLCs, and smart meters, enabling sophisticated control actions and data acquisition.
Available Hardware for Control & Automation
This solution is enabled by our range of intelligent controllers and gateways.
Airswitch (Wireless Switch)
Loadshedding Switch
Tariff Switch
Solar-Powered 4-Channel Valve Controller
Battery-Powered Valve Scheduler
RS-485 Smart Modem
I/O Conduit
Connectivity & Power Options
Our control hardware is designed for easy installation in electrical panels (DIN rail) or harsh field conditions. Controllers can be hard-wired to a reliable power source, or for true off-grid automation, we offer dedicated solar and long-life battery-powered options.
For large sites or areas with poor cellular signal, we deploy an Augos LoRa Base Station. This creates a private, long-range radio network, allowing remote controllers to receive commands reliably from a central point, which then connects to the Augos Intelligence Platform.
The Brains of the Operation: The Augos Intelligence Platform
Collecting data is just the beginning. The true value is created in our central cloud software, the Augos Intelligence Platform. This is where raw measurements from your machinery are transformed into business intelligence.
Visualize Your World
See the real-time status of all your controlled equipment on live, interactive dashboards, accessible from anywhere on any device.
Get Proactive Alerts
Receive instant SMS, email, or WhatsApp notifications confirming control actions or alerting you to communication issues.
Automate & Control
Build sophisticated automation rules. Automatically shut down a pump in response to a leak detection alert, or schedule irrigation based on soil moisture and weather forecasts.
