Safely overcoming barriers of Digitalization!
We are looking over the fence
Our highly skilled engineers come with working experience in a number of different industries like e.g. raw materials and mining, drilling and construction, tunneling, defense, agricultural machines, marine, vehicles, heavy transport and airports/aviation. Together with our intrinsic approach to safety we are guiding and accompanying our customers from the idea to the commercial use of highly innovative and efficient solutions. With sound physical and mathematic knowledge and the aim to produce simple and efficient solutions.
In all our work we “look over the fence” and think the entire solution which makes us an ideal partner for the integration of complex interdisciplinary mechatronic systems.
Our services for your ideas
Since 2017 we are designing High Voltage DC systems (700 V) for use on transport equipment and mobile machines. Both powered by LiIO Battery systems and also supported by hybride generators. Our integral We perform duty cycle and battery capacity calculations and we help our customers to design their machines in the most energy efficient way to save battery cost and to extend range and/or battery working time.
Our experience in Functional Safety and steer-by-wire / brake-by-wire on mobile machines goes back to 2015, when we were implementing the world’s first tunnel supply train on tires without the need for steel rails. These fully electronically controlled transport trains were safely completing over 250.000 km partly on a 2.5 km long 12 % decline!
This was enabled by thorough safety evaluation, development in accordance to the “V-Model” (EN13849) and a choice of redundant safety controllers with intelligent logic for an automatic fail-over. Our functional safe solutions focus on keeping the safety related software simple in order to minimize cost and effort for documentation, validation and maintenance.
Digital transformation means to make highest possible use of the information generated by the operation of your machines. This starts with the user interface of the driver: All our user interfaces are network based and can be accessed and used on board of the machine or remotely. This is an essential precondition for remote supervision and autonomy. For the graphic design we cooperate with professionals from aviation where quick and safe decision making is essential.
For our own products and for customer projects we are running databases in the cloud to store product information, configurations and operational data. Ask us for your individual solution!
How we can help you
MT-Silesia is your project guide: Regardless whether you may have an idea for a new machine, you want to rationalize your worksite by autonomous machine operation or if you want to integrate mobile equipment into your IT infrastructure. MobileTronics is your guide from the idea to implementation.
“Digitalization” or “Industry 4.0” means much more than just “putting another computer onboard the machine”: It means to make software and electronics an integral part of the functional machine design: Digitalization means to produce mechatronic systems rather than mechanics driven machines! And because the software will be the most valuable part of design, it has to be re-used as much as possible to be cost effective!
Therefore you need MT-Silesia as an experienced guide to mechatronics system development up to fully autonomous machines and mobile systems. Together with you we are evaluating all the alternatives for e.g. traction, steering, brakes of a vehicle on their functional and economic impact in order to find the best possible “development route” for your project.
These concepts are finally documented in a pre study or directly in the project specification to have a good foundation for your project implementation and in order to prevent from late project surprises.
