JLG Telehandler - Multi-Function Display
JLG, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of access equipment, worked with us to develop the interface for their in cab multi-function display. Screens were developed to help in the safe operation of the telehandler by illustrating load, boom height and boom angle to alert the operator of tipping conditions for the vehicle. Custom screens were also developed for maintenance schedules, maintenance logs and to illustrate lube locations on the machine.
Additionally, an extensive menu was developed to customize the behaviors of the machine , including how fast the boom would accelerate when you moved its control lever.
Design Elevation can help in the development of Human Machine Interface, HMI, for your wheeled equipment or manufacturing equipment specific to your operator, maintenance personal.
