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.

Built for Scalable, Progressive Platforms

Our platform-based approach enables:

  • Scalable solutions across multiple machine types
  • Modular architectures for faster development
  • Progressive, forward-looking systems aligned to autonomy, connectivity and regulation
  • Reduced total cost of ownership through reuse and efficiency
