Maintain Communication During Demanding Jobs
Our communications solutions are built to handle the tough conditions found in construction and mining environments. High-speed Ethernet controllers and transceivers provide reliable, uninterrupted data exchange, even through the demanding temperatures, vibrations and dusty conditions of smart mining and smart construction applications. With Ethernet capabilities that extend up to 40 meters, our controllers and transceivers are well-suited for large machinery. We also offer robust wireless communication modules for seamless connectivity and remote monitoring. These wireless options, combined with advanced security features and low latency, support efficient and secure autonomous operations in construction and mining.
Safety-First Designs
Designing for functional safety in complex construction and mining machinery involves integrating advanced technologies to prevent hazardous situations and create reliable systems under all operating conditions. This includes implementing fail-safe mechanisms, redundant systems and real-time monitoring to detect and respond to potential faults. Functional safety-enabled components, such as safety-certified microcontrollers (MCUs) and sensors, play a crucial role in achieving compliance with safety standards like ISO 26262 and IEC 61508. By incorporating predictive diagnostics, robust angle and position control and adaptive safety features, manufacturers can create machinery that meets the rigorous demands of construction and mining environments, promoting worker safety and uninterrupted operations.
Advancing Electrification in Modern Machinery
The shift to electrification in construction and mining machinery prioritizes electric power systems over traditional combustion engines, driving efficiency and sustainability. Electric drivetrains reduce emissions, lower operating costs and improve energy efficiency compared to fossil fuel-powered systems. This transition complies with environmental regulations while offering quieter and more reliable performance. By integrating electrification into machinery design, manufacturers can create innovative solutions that meet the growing demand for sustainable and high-performance equipment.
Keep The Machinery Running When It Matters Most
Predictive maintenance in construction and mining machinery leverages advanced sensors, IoT and AI to monitor equipment health and predict potential failures before they occur. This proactive approach minimizes unplanned downtime, extends equipment life and reduces maintenance costs. By analyzing real-time and historical data, predictive maintenance can identify patterns and anomalies that indicate wear or impending issues. Integrating predictive maintenance into machinery design promotes greater operational efficiency and reliability in demanding environments, increasing operator profitability.
Edge AI for Harsh Industrial Usage
We offer AI, ML and edge AI solutions for smart construction and smart mining machinery. Our advanced microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs) are equipped with powerful processing capabilities, enabling real-time data analysis and decision making at the edge. Our devices can reduce latency and enhance the efficiency of operations by processing data locally rather than relying on cloud-based systems. Our solutions also include robust AI and ML frameworks that can be integrated into machinery to predict maintenance needs, optimize performance and promote safety through advanced monitoring and diagnostics. In addition, we focus on preventing component obsolescence so that our clients can rely on long production and service lifecycles.
Managing Complex Sensor Systems in Machinery
Modern construction and mining machinery depends on advanced processors, controls and edge AI to manage complex sensor systems that monitor operations and optimize performance. By processing data directly at the edge, these systems enable real-time decision making and reduce latency. Integrated control units coordinate inputs from multiple sensors, such as position, pressure and proximity, to enhance safety, efficiency and autonomous capabilities. Designing machinery with intelligent processors and edge AI promotes adaptive performance, smarter automation and reliability in demanding environments.
