Introducing Sun Hydraulics’ "AmpSet Blue(TM)" app for configuration of Sun's Bluetooth Embedded Amplifiers. This new app is iOS compatible and fully optimized for Sun Hydraulics' electro-proportional cartridges. Configurability is now in the palm of your hand with an iPad or iPhone product using proven wireless Bluetooth technology while maintaining the controller's IP69K sealing. Sun’s AmpSet Blue will allow you to select and interact with individual embedded cartridge valve amplifiers within range of your iPhone or iPad, making on-site ‘tuning’ portable, quick and simple. On-screen graphics and smart prompts will guide the user through the straightforward configuration process that covers all typical parameters associated with proportional valves from command type to coil drive limits. The application also allows the user to save the configuration file or interrogate an unknown controller and send the information via the smart device-installed email client for safe backup or to allow further upload into new controllers as needed.

Keep track of your tools anytime, anywhere with HeronTrack, the ultimate solution for managing small equipment for construction workers and technical services. Our innovative tag, designed to attach to virtually any tool in your fleet, like ladders, compressors, grinders, communicates via Bluetooth (BLE) with a smartphone, allowing field workers to easily locate their tools and link their GPS positions. This data, including the tag's unique ID, is seamlessly sent to our platform for easy access to reports and visual tool maps. HeronTrack revolutionises tool management by enabling traceability and autonomous inventory management without human intervention. It simplifies equipment inspection and digital logbook registration, ensuring tools are in good condition. Users gain insights into tool availability, location, condition, user details, and daily costs. Our solution addresses critical challenges: Inventory Management: Construction companies struggle with inventory management due to constant site presence. Traditional annual inventories during construction holidays often reveal unreported broken tools or unnecessary purchases. HeronTrack provides a real-time overview, enabling informed decision-making. Inspection Management: Complying with safety and insurance regulations requires proof that equipment is in good condition. The traditional process of locating tools for inspection is time-consuming and inefficient. HeronTrack offers real-time tool tracking, streamlining the inspection process and ensuring compliance is easily demonstrated. Cost Control: Effective inventory management prevents unnecessary tool purchases. HeronTrack facilitates daily cost tracking of equipment use, promoting financial efficiency. While many companies rely on IT for vehicle and project management, the management of small equipment often remains outdated. HeronTrack fills this gap with a digital solution for tracking and managing small equipment, heralding a new era of efficiency and compliance in the construction sector.
