Every function becomes an actuator
Steering, transmission, hydraulics and brakes need controlled, deterministic actuation over CAN.
Back to industries
I-12 / Autonomous Mobile MachinesThe machine still needs
The machine still needs
hands on every function.
Taking the operator out of the cab does not remove the steering, the hydraulics or the brakes — it moves them onto the bus. Makersan supplies the drive-by-wire control, the position and angle sensing and the telemetry that an autonomous machine runs on, and the supervisor's display for the people who now watch it from elsewhere.
Without an operator
Nobody is in the seat to catch it.
A safe state, always reachable
Independent paths and defined defaults bring the machine to a stop when a link or a module drops.
The machine has to know where it is
Angle, inertial and position sensing give the autonomy stack measurement it can trust.
Validation needs the data
Onboard logging and telemetry record what the machine did, for tuning and for the safety case.
