BPW AGRO Hub now available with weighing system

Running gear mileage at a glance
New weighing system for simplified invoicing of services
Automatic reminders of maintenance intervals

Szombathely, 26 October 2017 --- The BPW Group's agricultural specialists have further developed the AGRO Hub running gear computer and integrated an innovative weighing system that will be presented at Agritechnica in November. The trade fair takes place in Hanover from 12 until 18 November 2017, and BPW will be exhibiting its innovations in hall 15, stand E05.

With the BPW AGRO Hub, customers in the agricultural industry receive a detailed overview of the mileage of the running gears installed in their agricultural trailers. Sensors allow the daily as well as the overall mileage to be calculated in hours and kilometres. A new feature is the integration of additional axle load sensors, allowing the vehicle operator to record and store the weight of the trailer. "The sensors accurately measure the weight of a trailer to within approximately two percent. Many of our customers in the agricultural industry currently invoice their services according to weight. With our new weighing system, we can offer them a particularly cost-effective solution," explains Peter Lindner, Agricultural Sales Manager for Germany and Benelux.

By analysing these data, e.g. as a histogram, vehicle usage can be documented quickly and easily. The information can be transferred wirelessly to Android smartphones using the BPW AGRO app, and now also to the machine's display unit via ISOBUS communication channels. This way, BPW guarantees a secure connection between trailer and tractor, and makes sure that the driver always has the running gear information in view.

And the AGRO Hub offers yet another advantage: the running gear computer uses warning signals as an automatic reminder of predetermined maintenance intervals, which optimises trailer operation.

Agritechnica visitors can obtain more information on the new products and features at BPW's stand E05 in hall 15.

BPW develops hydraulic drive axle AGRO Drive for agricultural trailers

On soft, loose soils or when operating on banks or hillsides, agricultural vehicles often reach their limits. In order to facilitate vehicle start-ups on such surfaces and to prevent getting stuck, BPW has developed a hydraulic drive axle for agricultural trailers: the BPW AGRO Drive. The AGRO Drive axle is celebrating its world premiere at Agritechnica this November.

Under the motto "Go on when others stop", BPW will be present at Agritechnica in hall 15, stand E05.

Weighed and approved: BPW presents running gear computer with integrated weighing system at Bauma

BPW now makes it possible to determine the weight of the load using a new type of sensor that via a hub wirelessly transmits its data from the drawbar trailer axle directly to end devices and via an ISO bus interface also to the driver's cab. This allows drivers and transport companies to gain full transparency over mileage and transported quantities – and can also bill by weight.
