Over the last years, slope sensors have grown more and more important for controlling mobile work machines. At the beginning of the development mainly accuracy and robustness were in focus. Of course, these characteristics still prevail. However, further r …

Based on Jutta's blog about moba platform product application, here I would like to share this informations about the application in China. Follow machines are using moba platform products, with MPC-whatever, sensors, display, HMI. So the puzzling is makin …

We asked Michele Aparo, Business Development Manager for aerial platforms and similar applications, to give us some insights about these applications. Here are his answers! Question: What are platform products and what advantages/disadvantages do they …

We have asked Boris Zils, Product Manager for Crane and Platform Lifter at MOBA, this and several other questions. Boris, what is a safety and redundant system and what problem does it solve for the customer? Answer: Modern machines benefit from compl …

If you look for a controller for mobile control systems there are several points to consider. First there are some common specifications any good controller should have to be suitable for the harsh environment they have to function in. Secondly, there are …

Today's development processes have a high level of complexity. Internal company processes and expertise, as well as external factors have a major impact on the success of a product’s development. Many different paths can lead to the start of a new product, …

MOBA has been invited to talk at the annual industry show CAR HMI concepts & systems 2015 that combines international expert industry keynotes and well-moderated, interactive networking sessions, and private discussions. The forum was mainly focused o …

The IRC-100 is a handset to do a ‘Zero’ - calibration of the MSS sensor at the machine. Most of the MSS sensors use CANopen protocol and it is possible to calibrate the sensor at the machine via CANbus. In this case, the IRC-100 is not a “must have”. But n …

The automation of aerial work platforms consists of very complex processes and must meet strict safety requirements. The idea is that the maximum capacity of the machine can be exploited while the safety is ensured at the same time. This means that the ae …
