Customized HMIs for special vehicles
Special vehicles place high demands on their control units. The components must always work reliably under demanding conditions, be intuitive to operate and integrate seamlessly into existing systems.
Special vehicles place high demands on their control units. The components must always work reliably under demanding conditions, be intuitive to operate and integrate seamlessly into existing systems. Standard solutions are often not sufficient here - individual HMI concepts are required. As an experienced partner, Ginzinger electronic systems offers customized human-machine interfaces (HMIs) that are precisely tailored to the needs of the special vehicle industry.
Why customized HMIs are crucial in special vehicle construction
Whether emergency vehicles, construction machinery or off-highway equipment for the agricultural sector - operation must function smoothly even under difficult conditions. Drivers and operators have to make critical decisions within seconds. This is why intuitive and robust HMIs are essential:
- Extreme environmental conditions
Strong vibrations, high temperatures, humidity or dust - HMIs for special vehicles must be able to withstand these challenges. - Ergonomics & safety
Error-free operation is crucial to avoid accidents. Good HMIs reduce cognitive effort and minimize errors. - Smart networking
Modern vehicles are equipped with sensors, cameras and telematics systems. HMIs must communicate seamlessly with these systems. - Longevity & maintenance:
Special vehicles have long life cycles. The electronics and software must function reliably for years and be able to be updated as required.
Ginzinger electronic systems develops and produces customized HMIs for special vehicles. Customers benefit from an end-to-end solution - from the initial concept phase through to series production.
Your partner for customized HMI solutions
01
Customized development
Every vehicle places individual demands on its operating concept. Ginzinger designs customized HMIs that are precisely tailored to the requirements:
Individual hardware and housing development for extreme environments
Customization of the software and user interface for optimal ergonomics
Modular design for easy expandability and updates
02
Robust and durable hardware
The conditions in special vehicles are harsh: heat, cold, humidity and mechanical stress are part of everyday life. Ginzinger therefore relies on:
High-quality materials for scratch-resistant, waterproof and vibration-resistant HMIs
Protection class-compliant designs and intensive testing (e.g. IP67 for water and dust protection)
Long-term availability of components to ensure operation for years to come
03
Intuitive user guidance and modern user interface
Good operability is the key to efficient work processes. Ginzinger develops HMIs with:
intuitive touch and button controls that can also be operated with gloves, for example
high-resolution, sunlight-readable displays that can be read even in poor visibility conditions
ergonomic menu navigation to reduce errors and increase efficiency
04
Smart networking & integration
Modern special vehicles are digitized. Ginzinger HMIs can be easily integrated into existing and future vehicle architectures:
Interfaces to CAN bus, Ethernet, Modbus or wireless networks
Real-time data processing for precise control and monitoring
Cloud connectivity & over-the-air updates for future-proof applications
05
Production & quality assurance to the highest standards
As a full-service provider, Ginzinger not only develops the HMIs, but also manufactures them. The highest quality standards apply:
Electronics production with 100% traceability
Extensive EMC, climate and vibration tests
Long-term availability & support over the entire product life cycle
Example from practice
Robust HMIs for fire engines
Ginzinger developed a customized HMI with touch and buttons for Rosenbauer International AG, a leading manufacturer of fire fighting vehicles. It includes a scratch-resistant touch display that works in all weather conditions and can be operated with gloves. The system starts up in seconds and provides intuitive overview and control of critical vehicle functions.
