Taking control

Improved displays and software give operators better insight into hydraulic systems.

Electrohydraulic systems are getting easier to operate and develop as component vendors strive to help both operators and designers get the most out of their equipment. LCDs are helping give operators more insight into vehicle performance, while advances in software are making it simpler for equipment developers to get the right information on these displays.

These benefits are part of the transition to electronic technologies that's continuing unabated, with digital displays providing a means to give operators more information. The screens display everything from basic operating parameters to alerts to real-time video from onboard cameras.
