How will this reshape the
off-highway equipment industry?

Taking advantage of multi-core application processors in the digital cluster enables not only more sophisticated and flexible HMI but also gateway functionality for cloud connectivity and advanced applications such as AI-based object detection for improved worksite safety for mobile machines.

Edge AI

Instead of using another ECU for camera-based object detection or edge AI computing, the integrated high performance digital cluster can provide new brain power for advanced AI applications.

Telematics

Accessing real-time diagnostics data helps fleet managers optimize vehicle maintenance cycle and improve uptime. This can be done through on-board modem or smartphone tethering.

Prognostics

Collecting various vehicle parameters in a flexible manner helps build optimized prediction model to enable preventive maintenance and minimize unexpected downtime.

Safety

High performance compute enables consolidating more sensor inputs to improve situational awareness and take proactive actions to prevent accidents.

Digital Twin

OEMs can build virtual representation of the physical vehicle and enable fast feedback loop to compare the real world performance with specification and to improve design.

OTA Update

As the vehicles are more digitalized, the role of SW becomes more critical, hence updating SW over-the-air enables improving existing functions or adding new features.
