Our SIL Agriculture range delivers intelligent pump control solutions for irrigation, slurry and digestate management, umbilical slurry spreading, precision slurry application, water management and agricultural pumping applications. Combining advanced automation with intuitive interfaces and remote monitoring, SIL technology gives operators greater visibility and control over machinery performance – helping improve operational efficiency, productivity, resource utilisation and uptime while reducing unnecessary fuel use, operating costs and downtime.

At LAMMA 2027, discover how SIL is helping make agricultural machinery smarter, more connected and more efficient.

From intelligent pump management and multi-pump control to automated irrigation, umbilical spreading and slurry applications, our systems are engineered to support the changing demands of modern, sustainable agriculture. As farming moves towards greater digitalisation, connectivity, precision application and data-led decision making, SIL provides practical control technology that allows machinery manufacturers, agricultural contractors and operators to turn those ambitions into dependable, easy-to-use solutions in the field.

Our Vision control platform provides agricultural operators with sophisticated machine control without unnecessary complexity. Solutions include remote machine monitoring, automated pump control, multi-pump management and Stage V-ready control technology, making them ideally suited to applications including irrigation pumping, slurry pumping, digestate handling and umbilical spreading systems, while helping OEMs develop the next generation of efficient agricultural machinery.

SIL control solutions are designed to integrate with engines from many of the industry’s leading manufacturers, including Scania, Perkins, Kohler, Volvo, JCB, Caterpillar (CAT), Hatz and Yanmar. Our Vision Vs platform also offers plug-and-play compatibility with Iveco, JCB and Perkins, alongside other major engine manufacturers – giving agricultural OEMs a flexible route to intelligent machine control across a wide range of engine platforms.

For machinery manufacturers, SIL also provides bespoke OEM control solutions, taking projects from initial concept and system design through hardware, software, wiring harnesses, installation and ongoing technical support. This end-to-end engineering capability allows us to develop tailored solutions around individual machines, applications and operating environments.

Whether the objective is improved efficiency, precision application, reduced inputs, lower fuel consumption, increased productivity, better machine utilisation, improved reliability or a reduced environmental footprint, SIL puts intelligent control at the heart of the machine.
