How complex machines can be easily controlled with visualization

PRINOTH announced the new generation of its best-selling snow groomers, the LEITWOLF and the BISON. The electronics in high-tech snow vehicles must not only withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, ice and frost, but also meet highest requirements in terms of usability. An international team was assembled to design a state-of-the-art cabin that combines the highest standards of user-friendliness and design.

How to set up human-machine-interaction for more assisted and automated machinery? Efficiency and productivity are the main drivers of process automation of harvesters, excavators and material handling solutions. Manufacturers developing advanced off-highway machinery are increasingly demanding touch displays in growing size to create ergonomic workplaces with enhanced usability.

Australian-based haulage truck company Loadpro has more than 25 years of experience in developing “off-road” haulage trucks. Loadpro’s latest model is called X60. It is suitable for extended hauls and in applications where highway trucks and articulated trucks are not suited for. It is an attractive solution as it reduces cost and increases production in parallel. The X60 has significant benefits across various haulage applications in the mining, construction, oil and gas industries.

The latest display generation by TTControl - Vision 3 - is designed to be in the center of complex vehicle system architectures due to its extensive set of interfaces.
