Structural Integrity & Kinematics

Excavator Boom Fatigue, Swing Bearing & Turret Kinematics

Ultra-class hydraulic excavators and mining shovels undergo millions of cyclic load reversals per year. Shock loading from hard-rock digging generates severe torsional fatigue in the boom-to-stick pinned joints, slew ring bearings, and revolving upper structure. The IGFO-100 node delivers synchronous 3-axis acceleration (25.6 kS/s sampling) and supports dynamic strain evaluation, enabling local cycle counting to support early detection and planned maintenance.

Target Equipment: Mining excavators, dragline booms, front shovel slew bearings, wheel loader lift arms, articulating dump truck hitch joints
Core Sensors: IGFO-100 Rugged Multi-Sensor Edge Node • IGFO-AE-100 (Target specs — Q4 2027) 6-DOF Motion Sensor
ISO 7637-2 Automotive Power

CAN 2.0B Deterministic Power Distribution & Heavy Relay Control

Off-highway vehicle cabins and auxiliary electrical cabinets require robust load switching for auxiliary hydraulic coolers, high-draw lighting banks, radiator fans, lubrication pumps, and fire suppression systems. The REX-266 Relay Controller provides 6 independent 5A relay channels engineered specifically for 12V/24V/28V vehicle power rails. Featuring ISO 7637-2 transient pulse protection (load dump suppression) and direct CAN 2.0B / SAE J1939 telemetry, it delivers sub-8ms deterministic actuation and real-time coil health diagnostics.

Target Equipment: Auxiliary cooling blowers, automatic greasing systems, hydraulic divert valves, heavy work-light arrays, pre-heater contactors
Core Hardware: REX-266 6-Channel Rugged CAN Relay Module (9-36V DC wide input)
*Safety Notice: REX-266 is not a safety-rated device and is not certified to ISO 13849. Do not use as sole safety protection.*
MIL-STD-810H Edge AI

Rugged In-Cab & Chassis Edge AI Telematics Gateway

Modern autonomous haul trucks and remote-operated drilling rigs generate massive volumes of sensor telemetry that cannot wait for high-latency satellite or private LTE uplinks. The XTR 315 Edge AI Computer deploys neural acceleration directly onto the vehicle chassis. Encased in an IP67 passively cooled enclosure with MIL-DTL-38999 connectors, the XTR 315 runs real-time machine learning inference for road roughness assessment, tire wear estimation, operator monitoring, and multi-sensor fusion.

Target Equipment: Autonomous haul trucks, blast hole drill rigs, heavy timber harvesters
Core Hardware: XTR 315 Edge AI Computer (Launch Q3 2027) • Single Pair Ethernet (10BASE-T1L) vehicle backbone
*Underground and gassy-mine installations require Group I hazardous-area certification and DGMS approval. Operator monitoring features process personal data and are configured by the customer in line with applicable privacy law.*
Fluid Power Diagnostics

Variable-Displacement Hydraulic Pump & Cavitation Early Warning

High-pressure axial piston pumps are the heart of hydraulic excavators. Aeration, suction line restriction, or fluid breakdown causes cavitation, degrading swashplates and piston shoes over time. The Mercury Z1 (Pilot Q1 2027) acoustic probe couples into manifold blocks or suction flanges, capturing cavitation acoustic signatures to provide an alert to the machine controller before metallic debris damages the hydraulic circuit.

Target Equipment: Axial piston pumps, hydrostatic drive motors, proportional directional control valve blocks, pilot pressure manifolds
Core Sensors: Mercury Z1 (Pilot Q1 2027) Inline Acoustic Probe (Passivated 316L SS)
