From Machines to Connected Off-Road Systems

As vehicles evolve towards automation, electrification, and data-driven project delivery, we provide electronics that go beyond individual components to deliver connected, intelligent systems that improve productivity, safety, and efficiency across the entire machine lifecycle.

Pektron develops system-level electronic architectures that integrate machine control, connectivity, and user interaction into cohesive platforms.

System capabilities include:

Machine control systems and electronic control units (ECUs)
Integrated HMI (Human-Machine Interface) and operator interface systems
Seamless 360° Vision and Infotainment System for operator and vehicle connectivity, jobsite safety and productivity
Lighting and smart power distribution systems
Sensor integration (positioning, load, environment monitoring)
Connectivity modules for telematics
Embedded control systems

We take a platform-first approach, enabling scalability across equipment ranges and reducing development complexity.

Connectivity, Telematics & Smart Integration

Pektron understands that connected machinery is at the core of modern operations.

Key capabilities include:

CAN, LIN, and Ethernet-based communication systems
Telematics integration
Remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance
Edge-to-cloud data connectivity

These technologies enable real-time visibility of machine performance, utilisation, and maintenance needs, improving uptime and reducing operational costs.

Autonomous & Semi-Autonomous Equipment

Pektron develops electronics that support and enable:

Autonomous and semi-autonomous machine control
Sensor fusion (GNSS, LiDAR, vision systems)
Remote operation and supervisory control systems
Safety-critical control architectures and redundancy

Vehicles can be transformed to deliver improved precision, safety, and operational efficiency through AI and digital technologies powered by robust electronics.

Electrification & Energy-Efficient Systems

Sustainability and emissions reduction are accelerating the shift towards electrified equipment.

Pektron supports:

Electronics for hybrid and fully electric machinery
Smart power management and distribution systems
Energy-efficient lighting and auxiliary electronics
Integration with battery and charging systems

Electrification is reducing emissions and enabling quieter, more efficient operation, particularly in urban and regulated environments.

Advanced Operator Experience & HMI

Modern off-highway equipment requires intuitive, responsive interfaces that assists and enhance operator performance and safety.

Our HMI capabilities include:

Instrument clusters and display systems
Touch, switch, and control interfaces
360° Vision and Infotainment System
Feedback systems (visual, tactile, lighting-based)
Integrated cockpit electronics

We design systems that improve usability, situational awareness, and operator comfort in demanding environments.

Designed for Safety, Compliance & Harsh Environments

Off-highway environments are among the most demanding requiring electronics that perform reliably under extreme conditions.

Pektron systems are engineered for:

High durability (shock, vibration, dust, moisture)
Functional safety and fail-safe system design including collision avoidance systems
Robust validation and environmental testing
Compliance with evolving industry and machinery regulations

Supporting Compliance with Evolving Regulations

The regulatory landscape for off-highway vehicles is rapidly changing, particularly with the rise of autonomy and connectivity.

Key developments include:

EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 introducing new requirements for safety, cybersecurity, and AI-enabled machinery, effective from 2027
New rules requiring autonomous machines to include remote supervisory control and safe-stop capabilities
EU 2025/14 type-approval regulations for non-road mobile machinery to harmonise safety and enable cross-border operation on public roads

These changes are redefining how electronics systems must be designed, placing greater emphasis on functional safety, cybersecurity, and system-level integration.
