Off-highway equipment manufacturers are increasingly working with suppliers of drivetrain systems and electrohydraulic (EH) system suppliers to advance the digitalization of mobile-machine technology. OEMs are completing their own R&D efforts to determine the best ways to use digitalized EH systems, sensors, controls and mobile edge gateway devices. They also are working with end-user customers to clearly define what “actionable data” really means for off-highway operations.
What device data, or correlated datasets from multiple devices, provides the most value for end users? This is at the crux of creating the IoT-ready technologies that can advance machine performance. The development of IoT-ready technology needs to respond to the requirements of key uses in both OEM and end-user communities. Their needs are interrelated and based on exploiting the potential for applying data to improve machine design and end-user operations. They include:
