smart diesel pump control

Keep the diesel pump. Add the intelligence.

Hurtec adds electronic control, sensing, automated protection and FleetCon visibility to compatible diesel pump systems. Crews gain a simpler control environment while fleet teams gain information that traditional mechanical pump systems do not normally provide.

Retain pumping power

1

The existing diesel engine and pump remain the source of water delivery.

Add intelligent control

2

PLC based control and sensors support configured operation and protection.

Gain fleet visibility

3

Available pump and vehicle data can be connected into FleetCon.

The problem it solves

Your pump moves water. But what can your fleet team see?

Many diesel pumps still perform their core job, but operate as isolated mechanical assets. The gap is reliable information about use, condition, faults, service needs and readiness.

Use and operating hours

Know how often the pump runs and how long it operates.

Fault visibility

Identify alerts and abnormal conditions before they become avoidable damage.

Incident records

Create a clearer record of what happened during pump operation.

Operating conditions

See available pressure, flow, temperature and dry running information.

Service planning

Use evidence from hours, activity and faults to inform maintenance.

Deployment readiness

Give fleet teams more useful information about asset condition.

The control layer

What stays and what Hurtec adds

The Smart Diesel Pump System builds around compatible equipment. The final scope depends on the pump, engine, vehicle interfaces, required controls and the data the customer needs.

What stays

  • The existing diesel engine and pump

  • The serviceable vehicle and core pumping pathway

  • Manual operation where required by the safety design

  • Established fleet replacement planning

What Hurtec adds

  • PLC and control logic configured to the pump and vehicle

  • Sensors and electronic actuation where compatible

  • A simplified operator interface

  • Warnings and automated protection responses

  • Secure telemetry and FleetCon connectivity

  • Calibration, commissioning, training and support

Sense

Configured sensors collect available pump, water, temperature, fault and vehicle information.

Interpret

The PLC compares incoming information with programmed operating parameters.

Protect

The system can warn, adjust operation or shut down according to the approved control design.

Connect

Available live and historical information is organised in FleetCon for authorised users.

Automation and protection

Designed to support the operator and protect the asset

PLC based control can manage configured throttle, pressure, valve, warning and protection functions. The original pump may remain available for manual operation, or the system can be configured for fuller automation.

  • Warnings for abnormal operating conditions

  • Configured output adjustment or protective shutdown

  • Manual operating path where specified

  • Calibration and commissioning for each pump and vehicle

What it improves

More value from the diesel assets already in the fleet

Consistent control

Reduce reliance on different mechanical operating sequences across compatible vehicles.

Maintenance evidence

Use actual activity, operating hours, alerts and fault history to inform service planning.

Pump protection

Detect configured conditions that may damage the pump and support an appropriate response.

Remote diagnostics

Review available fault information before dispatching support or removing a vehicle from service.

Simpler training

Create a more consistent operator environment across different pump configurations.

Staged modernisation

Improve control and data now while diesel assets remain in service and future fleet choices are assessed.

FleetCon visibility

From pump activity to operational intelligence

A digital screen displays a URL, a message about a package delivery, an estimated arrival time, and a QR code.

Where supplied by the approved integration, FleetCon can connect pump, vehicle, fault, location, service, defect, crew and incident information into one authorised operating view.

  • Monitor available system condition and alerts

  • Review usage and fault history

  • Support maintenance, reporting and incident review

  • Build evidence for future pump and fleet decisions

Assessment before quotation

Every system starts with the asset

Compatibility is assessed case by case. Each pump and vehicle requires a defined scope, calibration and commissioning.

Pump and engine

Make, model, age and condition

Manual controls

Functions that must remain available

FleetCon data

Required information and any manufacturer or API approvals

Vehicle architecture

Electrical capacity and available data interfaces

Automation scope

Throttle, pressure, valves, warnings and shutdown states

Deployment needs

Access, downtime, commissioning, training and support

Bring compatible diesel pump assets into the connected operating environment.
