Agriculture & Machinery

Interface solutions for agricultural systems and machinery.

Agricultural controls operate on machinery, in milking parlors, irrigation systems, and processing facilities where water, mud, chemicals, and outdoor conditions are the daily reality. RNC solid-state switches and panels deliver sealed, maintenance-free operation across the demanding environments that agricultural equipment faces.

What agricultural controls face.

Agricultural controls are mounted on combines, tractors, irrigation panels, milking parlor stations, and processing equipment. They face mud, water, fertilizer, pesticides, animal waste, cleaning agents, UV exposure, and temperature extremes. Operators wear heavy work gloves and interact with controls with wet, dirty, or contaminated hands. Machinery vibration is constant. Equipment is often remote and difficult to access for maintenance. In milking parlors and food-contact areas, hygiene standards add cleaning and sanitization requirements on top of the environmental exposure.

Why solid-state piezo for agriculture and machinery.

Sealed against agricultural environments
IP69K rated. Mud, water, fertilizer, pesticides, and cleaning agents have no effect on the sealed metal construction.
Vibration and impact resistant
No moving parts means no vibration-induced wear or loosening.
Gloved, wet, dirty hands
Force-based activation is unaffected by glove type, moisture, or contamination on the operator's hands.
Long service life in remote locations
50 million activations with zero maintenance.

RNC solid-state controls are used in agricultural equipment and milking parlor applications where sealed, washdown-proof operation and reliable gloved activation are required across multi-year deployment cycles without interface maintenance.
