GPS based Control with GOcontroll enables precise, real-time location-based automation—even remotely via 4G connectivity.

GOcontroll brings location based intelligence to life with GPS based Control. Whether you’re salting highways or automating mobile operations, GOcontroll’s modular controllers deliver flexibility, performance, and real-time decision-making based on location with embedded interfaces like GNSS

GPS based Control refers to automated system behavior that adapts based on geographic position. This goes far beyond simple geofencing. While traditional geofencing offers static “in-or-out” logic, GOcontroll allows you to execute custom control logic at any GPS coordinate or across complex routes.

For example, on Dutch highways, GOcontroll controllers can be used in salt spreaders. As the vehicle passes through specific GPS zones, the system adjusts spread patterns in real-time. The benefits? Safer roads, less material waste, and fully automated compliance.

This control strategy is also adaptable to agriculture, logistics, and mobile robotics. It gives engineers full freedom to define system reactions at any latitude and longitude using tools like MATLAB Simulink or Node-RED, both fully supported by GOcontroll platforms.

At the heart of this innovation lies the GOcontroll Moduline controller family. These rugged, Linux-powered embedded systems are built for the field:

• Integrated GNSS positioning via onboard WWAN with GPS modules
• Real-time decision logic via programmable environments
• Remote deployment through 4G/LTE and secure VPN connections
• Wide IO compatibility with sensor modules, CAN, LIN, and more

This means you can push new GPS-based logic from your desktop to an entire fleet via 4G. No physical intervention required. The modular design also means every setup is tailor-fit, whether for a single prototype or mass deployment.

GOcontroll’s Simulink blocksets make it easy to define logic such as:

• Activate spreader at coordinate X
• Turn off pump 500 meters past Y
• Change valve pressure in zone Z

This goes beyond conventional automation, it’s context-aware, adaptive control based on where and when.

Remote updates are essential in GPS based Control. With GOcontroll, entire control workflows can be configured, updated, and diagnosed from a central location.

Using secure cloud infrastructure and backend login management, you can:

• Deploy control updates over-the-air (FOTA)
• Monitor system and application status real-time
• Synchronize route-based logic across multiple devices

All this is achieved without interrupting field operations. Combined with token-based secure access and connection certification, you maintain control without compromising safety or uptime.

And thanks to built-in Node-RED, setting up MQTT, TCP, or HTTP-based cloud communication is a breeze, even for non-programmers.

With GOcontroll, there’s no need to write low-level code. Engineers use visual tools like MATLAB Simulink, integrated with GOcontroll’s blocksets, to create GPS-driven workflows.

Some popular blocks include:

• GPS node: Extract the coordinates form the GPS antenna
• Node-RED template for local map display and traject information.
• CAN output: For seamless integration with vehicles

Example workflow for a winter service vehicle:

• Vehicle enters Highway A (based on GPS)
• Spreader module starts with setting X
• At exit ramp, settings change to pattern Y
• At depot, spreader shuts off automatically

All of this can be simulated, tested, and deployed without touching a single line of C code.

GOcontroll turns GPS based Control into a fully programmable, remotely manageable platform. Engineers can roll out adaptive automation that’s flexible, reliable, and future-proof.

Whether you’re tracking vehicles, managing assets, or building next-gen autonomous systems, GOcontroll’s ecosystem has the tools, modules, and software to bring your GPS based logic to life.
