Authorized staff can remotely connect with the TACPTFMote device using a customized mobile dashboard that can be accessed via the internet. This interface allows you to remotely operate the fogging machine from any location with internet access, and it provides real-time status updates and anomaly notifications. The device that starts and stops the fogging process is the actuator unit, which is controlled by the TACPTFMote. It follows instructions from the user interface and reacts to commands from the STM32 processor board. In addition, the flow control driver plays a crucial part in controlling the fogging machine's flow, which enables operators to apply agricultural treatments as precisely and efficiently as possible.
The RTC module makes it easier to schedule fogging operations at specific periods or intervals, ensuring accurate timekeeping. This feature makes agricultural seed treatment procedures more convenient and efficient by enabling automated and programmed operation. In addition, the integration of a micro SD card module enables the data logging and storage of crucial operational data, such as configuration settings, usage statistics, and system logs.
