The agricultural sector is undergoing a major technological evolution. Precision farming, automation, and data-driven control are now key factors for efficiency, yield, and sustainability. In this context, intelligence in drive systems plays an increasingly important role. Together with DOGA Drive Systems, Act In Time brings this intelligent technology to life in concrete agricultural applications.

From drive to intelligent function

In applications such as seeding, dosing, and harvesting, drive precision is increasingly essential for achieving a good final result. At the same time, the demand for improved efficiency means that over-dimensioning to compensate for speed variations is no longer acceptable.

The electric motor solutions from DOGA Drive Systems ensure precise speed and position control thanks to integrated feedback. This allows the machine to continuously adjust based on parameters such as travel speed, load, or process settings. The result is higher precision, less waste, and a stable process under varying conditions.

Smart integration into the machine ecosystem 

Intelligent agricultural machines require components that communicate seamlessly within the overall system. DOGA drives are therefore designed with CAN integration and extensive diagnostic capabilities, ensuring perfect compatibility with modern control systems:

• real-time feedback from the drive
• faster fault detection
• support for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance

This helps avoid downtime during critical periods or reduces it to a minimum.

Intelligence translated into concrete motor solutions

To implement these intelligent functions in practice, DOGA introduces a new generation of drives specifically developed for agricultural applications. These motors combine integrated electronics with robust mechanics and are designed for precise control under varying conditions.

Typical features of these new drive solutions include:

• integrated speed and position control with feedback
• CAN communication for seamless integration into modern control systems
• brushless technology for continuous operation and long service life
• high protection class for reliable field performance

In this way, intelligence becomes not just a software or control system feature, but an inherent property of the drive itself.

Examples of smart DOGA drives for seeding, dosing, and positioning

253 motor series
DC motor in which intelligence is directly integrated into the motor. This motor combines:

• a compact DC motor (nominal/peak 5.3A/31.5A at 12V or 3A/23A at 24V)
• integrated Hall sensors for precise speed and position measurement
• optional CANopen communication for direct connection to the machine control system
• a modular concept that can easily be adapted to the application

This motor is particularly suitable for adjusting and controlling valves, where its extremely compact design is a major advantage.

263 motor series
For applications requiring more power, DOGA offers the 263 motor series:​

• a powerful DC motor (nominal/peak 9A/79A at 12V or 5A/55A at 24V)
• integrated Hall sensors for precise speed and position measurement
• optional electronic control with digital communication (CAN)
• a modular concept that can be easily adapted to the application

Thanks to its robust construction, high protection class, and high starting torque, the 263 series is particularly suitable for higher loads such as driving and positioning under load.

BRL050 motor series
For applications where lifetime and reliability are key, DOGA offers the BRL050 series as an integrated brushless solution:​

• an efficient brushless DC motor for 12V operation
• integrated motor controller with Field Oriented Control (FOC)
• digital CAN communication for direct integration into the machine control system
• a compact, robust design suitable for continuous operation

Since BLDC motor, electronics, and communication are combined into a single unit, the BRL050 is ideal for intelligent agricultural applications where precise control, diagnostics, and long service life are essential.

BRL100 motor series
With the BRL100 series, DOGA offers a fully integrated brushless drive solution at 24V:​

• a powerful brushless DC motor at 24VDC
• integrated motor controller with Field Oriented Control (FOC)
• digital CAN communication for direct integration into machine control systems
• a compact, robust design suitable for continuous operation

Thanks to its higher power reserve, the BRL100 is ideal for drive functions requiring 100% duty cycle.

Act In Time: from technology to application

As an official distributor of DOGA Drive Systems,  Act In Time supports customers not only in selecting the right drive, but also in integrating it into their machine or device.

Our technical expertise is at your disposal, and we are happy to advise you on configuration or interface questions. While DOGA strongly focuses on drive solutions tailored to agricultural machinery, if no suitable solution can be found within the DOGA portfolio for your application, Act In Time can likely propose an appropriate motor or actuator from one of its other partners.​

Ready for the next step in smart farming

With intelligent drives as a building block, Act In Time supports the transition from purely mechanical solutions to smart mechatronic systems. The result: more efficient machines, better process control, and a future-oriented approach to modern agriculture
