October - November 2014 | Back

Active for over 65 years in the design and manufacture of components such as lights, electrical and electronic command and control devices, displays, steering columns and steering wheels, with a particular interest in the agricultural sector, at EIMA International the Cobo di Leno Group is launching onto the market a wide range of wireless sensors and hi-tech control units that act as an interface between the tractor, the operator and the application. Devices designed to increase farm profitability, on the one hand through the traceability and safety of operators, on the other through automatic recognition of attachments, remote control of operations and the ability to synchronise combined processes. Cobo's designers have developed these components, recognising that they must not only guarantee top-level performance in demanding operating conditions but, even more importantly, they must minimise the impact on the environment by promoting energy conservation and the rational consumption of resources. Among Cobo's new products, note particularly the sensors of the Multisensor and WED (Wireless End Device) series, as well as the UWR (Universal Wireless Receiver) devices that stand out for their ability to optimise the management and exchange of information within the man-machine system.

Faithful to the two cornerstones of the Cobo production philosophy – guaranteeing maximum connectivity of all the hardware instruments most in use, PC, tablets and smartphone, and simplified construction architecture of the machine with the reduction of components and materials – the most recent new products from Leno are easy to install on vehicles and equipment and do not require modifications because they are integrated using solutions prescribed by OEM manufacturers. Moreover, according to the technical characteristics of the vehicle (availability of CAN and ISOBUS networks), Cobo devices can provide a base of shared services in addition to the other important performance functions of the machine.
