What is GSM Commander?
GSM Commander is a smart industrial controller that integrates programmable logic (PLC) features with GSM mobile connectivity. It allows remote monitoring, control, and automation of industrial systems via SMS, calls, or mobile apps — with no internet connection required.
You can connect the GSM Commander to a wide variety of industrial equipment, including:
Liquid level sensors
Pressure transmitters
Temperature sensors
Motors, valves, pumps, and solenoids
Boilers, batteries, and backup systems
Its ability to automate and communicate from anywhere makes it ideal for remote industrial sites, mines, plants, and off-grid locations.

2. Versatile Integration
You can connect the Commander to nearly any industrial sensor or system using analog (4–20mA), digital, or relay inputs and outputs.
3. Real-Time Monitoring and Control
Receive alerts, view current status, and activate or shut down devices from anywhere — all with a simple text message or via the Commander app.
4. Event Logging and Reporting
Use the AirDrive cloud platform to log sensor data, monitor system history, and generate actionable reports.
5. Industrial-Grade Reliability
Designed for harsh environments, the Commander is robust, dependable, and backed by proven installations across industries.

Industrial Applications of GSM Commander
Boiler Monitoring & Control
Control boilers remotely and receive instant fault alerts. Automate heating cycles and prevent costly breakdowns with features like: Temperature monitoring, Pressure monitoring, Remote start/stop, Emergency shutdowns, SMS alerts for fault conditions Whether in a factory, food plant, or process facility, the GSM Commander keeps your boiler system efficient and safe.
Pressure Monitoring & Alerts
In industrial systems, pressure control is critical. From water treatment to gas pipelines, knowing when pressure fluctuates can prevent equipment failure. With GSM Commander: Connect pressure transmitters via 4–20mA analog inputs Set threshold limits for high or low pressure Receive SMS alerts when pressure exceeds safe levels Log pressure trends via AirDrive for compliance and maintenance planning.
Temperature Monitoring
Monitor temperatures in industrial freezers, chemical tanks, heating systems, or server rooms. The GSM Commander allows: Real-time temperature tracking Alerts for over-temperature or freeze risks Remote start/stop of heaters or cooling fans Integration with analog temperature sensors You stay informed and in control — even during off-hours or remote shifts.
4–20mA Sensor Integration
Many industrial sensors use 4–20mA current loops to measure: Temperature Humidity Tank levels Pressure Current draw GSM Commander (GXS081A) supports 8 high-resolution analog inputs, making it perfect for these applications. With these inputs, you can: Monitor precise values from industrial sensors, Trigger alarms or actions when readings exceed set limits, Log sensor data for later analysis or audits.
Control of Valves, Motors, Pumps, and Solenoids
Automate and remotely control your most critical equipment, such as: Water pumps, Chemical dosing systems, Conveyor belts, Solenoids, valves and Air compressors You can even program logic to run specific sequences, shut down equipment in emergencies, or start processes based on sensor inputs.
Battery Bank Monitoring (12V, 24V, 48V)
Reliable power is essential on industrial sites. Use GSM Commander to monitor battery voltages and stay ahead of failures. Monitor voltage levels in real time, Get SMS alerts when voltage drops below safe thresholds, Detect sudden voltage loss (e.g., cable theft or battery failure) Ensure backup systems are always ready. Perfect for solar, UPS, and off-grid applications.
Data Logging and Reporting with AirDrive
AirDrive is GSM Commander’s cloud-based monitoring platform. It lets you:
Store sensor data securely
View historical trends and generate graphs
Export data for compliance reporting
Monitor multiple sites from one dashboard
This turns your GSM Commander into a remote SCADA-lite solution — without the cost and complexity of traditional SCADA systems.
Emergency Shutdown & Safety Alerts
In critical operations, fast response time matters. GSM Commander helps with:
Emergency stop functionality triggered by SMS or sensor input
Panic button integration
Fire or gas leak alerts via digital input sensors
Notifications sent to multiple numbers instantly
Backup logic to shut down systems if conditions become unsafe
Protect your equipment, staff, and site even when you’re miles away.
