ECUS in heavy machinery

ECUs for Heavy Machinery – Rugged Control Units for Industrial and Autonomous Vehicles

Heavy machinery used in construction, agriculture, mining and industrial logistics requires powerful and durable ECUs to enable autonomous functions, real-time decision-making and safe machine operation. Our ECU solutions combine high processing power, advanced sensing and robust industrial design for demanding environments.

Why ECUs are essential for autonomous heavy machinery

Autonomous vehicles must process sensor data instantly, detect their surroundings accurately and execute operations safely. Industrial ECUs are designed to meet these requirements even under extreme heat, shock, vibration and continuous outdoor use.

  • Edge AI compute for perception, navigation and automation
  • Support for wide sensor ecosystems (camera, radar, GNSS, IMU, ToF)
  • Industrial I/O and actuator control
  • Software flexibility (Linux, RTOS, OEM frameworks)
  • 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, CAN, Ethernet, Bluetooth, serial connectivity
  • Long-term availability and rugged environmental certification

Typical applications

  • Autonomous construction machinery
  • Autonomous tractors and agricultural machinery
  • Outdoor industrial vehicles & autonomous transport systems
  • Mining equipment and tunneling machines
  • Special vehicles and heavy-duty logistics systems
