Off-highway vehicle HMIs

TG0’s patented moulded-material sensors allow manufacturers to innovate and differentiate off-highway vehicles’ human machine interface (HMI) systems often used in agriculture, construction and other heavy-duty vehicles or equipment. These use cases typically require advanced display and control with touch capabilities that provide real-time responsiveness. With TG0’s surface engineering technology powered by artificial intelligence, manufacturers can fully customise a controller’s 3D shape to be ergonomic and intuitive, allowing drivers to operate the controls without visual distraction.

New interaction modes

●     Gestural commands

●     Touch and force sensing

●     Pressure mapping

●     Capacitive sensing

TG0 turns the controller itself into the sensor. Gestural commands, touch and pressure can all be tracked in real time, using one microcontroller. There’s no need to introduce new electronic clusters or high-performance sensor network technology. As such, this process does not add any additional hardware to the existing lines, but completely eliminates any sensor assembling and calibration as a whole.

Design-led functionality

●     Seamless interior surfaces with endless design opportunities

●     Integrate functionalities into extreme 3D shapes

●     Enhance ergonomics and accessibility

●     Replace multiple mechanical controls with a single surface

●     Integrate into existing decorative materials and finishes

The design possibilities are endless. Multiple mechanical controls can be combined into a single service, with a wide range of decorative materials and seamless finishes (including dust- and waterproof). TG0’s technology uses far fewer electronic components, which leads to significantly reduced failure rate caused by individual component breakdown, and the noise caused by friction between HMI bundles. It’s also more environmentally friendly.

Moulded sensors for streamlined manufacturing

●     Build smarter, from prototype to product

●     Rapid proof of concept

●     Easy assembly with fewer components

●     Lower costs using fewer sensors

TG0’s multi-disciplinary teams will work with partners end-to-end, taking a prototype idea to a product ready for mass production in a matter of weeks. Solutions are easy to assemble with fewer components and lower cost. At end of life, the disassembly process is straightforward and compatible with recycling – the sensor material technology only requires the electrical connection to be unplugged.
