Company Background: As a systems integrator, the company has more than 17 years of experience in the automation industry. The company specializes in programmable controllers, human-machine interface systems, and SCADA software packages. .

Project Description: Excavator is a kind of heavy engineering equipment consisting of rotating platform, cab, stick and bucket. Excavators are mainly used for the destruction and demolition of abandoned buildings, digging trenches/foundations/caves and landscape construction. The customer is looking for an excavator control application solution and discusses whether the AAEON solution meets their project needs. The excavator requires on-board battery power (with a serial converter in the middle) connected to a special machine via a 9-pin RS-232 port.

Conclusion: Equipped with IP-67 multi-function waterproof tablet computer, with waterproof, dustproof, shock-resistant, vibration-resistant performance, customers can easily run their HMI software on our hardware to build a complete excavator Control System.
